An engine doesn't disallow anything. The engine wouldn't work with multiplayer, but then it did. The engine wasn't 64-bit until it was. Bethesda could have added it, but they didn't for whatever reason they have.

Fallout 4's elevators were loading screens but you never faded to black and load in again. There are plenty of ways to mask a loading screen (as well just leaving a loading screen while keeping things menu-free), Bethesda just chose not to.
