The game isn't bad, but it does feel like it came out of a time capsule from over ten years ago with a bunch of features they tried to implement that their engine couldn't handle. If you have to tell your customers, one on one, why your game is actually fun, you're doing something wrong. Hopefully Microsoft finally makes them throw out Creation and start from scratch for ES6 on Unreal or something, taking a hard look at what their competitors are doing better than them in the RPG space.
I totally agree. However, when looking at the bigger picture I think Microsoft wouldn't want to be so dependend on Epic after spending so much money on their game service, Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard. I don't expect them to actively consider switching engines and I don't think it would solve all that many problems anyway.
They're certainly not solving problems by staying on this engine and kicking the tech debt can down the road.
