I don't think they can get past the engine limitations needed.

I still enjoyed playing through it, but Creation engine just can't handle such a grand scope in a manner gamers expect to play these days.

I think it's perfectly capable of being used to make a compelling game, but Starfield seems to be a game for which the strengths of the engine AND the strengths of the writers and designers at Bethesda are completely mismatched.
