They're still using the same engine they've used since Morrowind. That's a big reason their games feel dated. As for Starfield itself it tries to do a lot of things but it doesn't do anything perfect. Everything it does there are other games that do better.

Fortnite uses the same engine as Unreal Tournament from 1999! How could they?!

Say what you want about fornite, personally I don't play it, but in its current state fornite is a beautiful looking game.

Yep. I don't play it either, but it looks great. UE5 can look amazing, but it's built up from the engine they made for UT in '99. People don't understand engines.
