They do touch upon what went “wrong” with F76 a few times, one notable quote is:
We started to talk ourselves into the fact of we were infallible. There was nothing we couldn’t do. And clearly that’s wrong.

It was just a misfire overall. They couldn’t create the game they wanted on a dated engine. Loading screens inbetween every action ruined whatever immersion and exploration the game had, it felt shallow and I spend more time fast traveling from planet to planet than I am exploring an area.

So, they’re still using their own frankenstein monster reanimated from the corpse of Gamebryo I presume?
There are definitely more problems at Bethesda than their engine of choice, but yeah, it certainly still is a big one. It’s been creaking at the seams forever.
