because Todd can't help himself and had to talk about it years ago and how it would be about exploring a vast galaxy with hundreds on planets etc. and Todd would never lie.
So, they couldn't just scrap that part in development after realizing the stupid amounts of feature creep etc, and now the "open-worldness" is actually fundamentally the weakest part of the game. just cast tracts of boring nothingness, running for 5 minutes to some POIs that are literally just a cave. Not even talking like a Skyrim cave dungeon, but a single room hole in the ground.
I mean there is an alright Mass Effect type game in there if you like some of the companions and factions, and doing some basic looter-shooter lite-RPG. but they dug themselves into a hole where they couldn't focus on doing that well, so even its best parts are pretty mid.
oh and the engine is, and always has been, complete shit. they refuse to change and they've been left behind. even the biggest normie Skyrimcucks don't even cope about Bethesda being great anymore.
