    They’re also just a total of 77 people doing this in their spare time instead of a team of at least 300 full time devs.

        And Skyrim took 6 years to make for a 100 people working a full time job?

        How long did you expect 77 people working in their spare time to take? 2 months?

            Developing a full length game in Skyrim’s engine = developing a full length game in Skyrim’s engine

            And Oblivion was a big fucking game, and it takes a lot of work to get it into Skyrim’s engine and modifying it so that it looks like it fits.

                I get that, but the Oblivion and Skyrim engines are not compatible with one another. Meaning that every single little event in Oblivion has to be manually reimplemented in Skyrim’s engine.

                When you’re talking about a game the size of Oblivion, that’s a big fucking task. And they’re relying on volunteers to get this done.
