““We were finally at a state in the project where we could play through the whole [game]. And it became very clear that we were missing the large final location that was going to tie the story together and have a satisfying action-filled payoff,” Shen said. “I was both implementing the main quest and leading the quest design team, so I had absolutely no time. The entire quest design team was already overbooked.””

The quest design team being overbooked and not having time certainly explains a lot.

    Jesus people give this Bethesda company a break, they’re a brand new indie company. They have like 3 employees and this is their first game, it’s not like they have decades of experience to judge how much time designing a story could take or what issues might pop up. That’s shit you’d expect from a AAA company.
