    No one wants to scope their games back down either, especially when they’re met with complaints like The Outer Worlds.

      I think there’s room for scoping down without going that far.

      Skyrim was still by a team of ~300 people. There is no reason we can’t still just do that.

        There is, because we expect more fidelity now than we did in 2011, and Skyrim was built on some existing bones. When you’re trying to make a game like that in Unreal that you haven’t done in that engine before, it’s going to be smaller (if you’re smart). Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t get to be that big without building on Original Sin 2, and the same can be said for Elden Ring; perhaps without a pandemic in the middle, those games might have even been made in more reasonable time frames than 5 or 6 years.
