How are coders so ridiculously intelligent? I tried to learn basic website building and it was a real struggle to apply the things I learned. But good coders just make fps games like its nothing. I don't even know where to start with thinking about something like Skyrim.

its just autism. AI can do the same shit. Talking to a hot girl is much more impressive

you're trying to make everything from scratch. stop it you dumb frog.

Anytime you learn something new, looking too far ahead can be inspiring but can also be discouraging because it feels like you'll never get there.
In reality it's all just an endless series of baby steps. If you want to make games you'll need to first make Pong, and then make Space Invaders, and then make a shitty 2D platformer, and then leap into 3D by making a buggy Monkey Ball clone with default textures everywhere..
Similarly with websites, you gotta start by making a simple static site, and then add some basic javascript, and then make a local-only todo list, and then make a full-stack todo list, and then make it persist your todos in a database, and then figure out how to add authorisation...

I'm a webdev at my dayjob and a hobbyist gamedev. I'm definitely not "ridiculously intelligent". I've just been coding for many years and have taken quite a lot of baby steps, so I've gradually ended up with a decent idea of what I'm doing. Sometimes I can make some moderately complex shit "like it's nothing", but only because I've made similar things before.
Stick with it and you'll get there.

No one makes fps games or Skyrim 'like it's nothing'. It's teams of dozens or hundreds of people mostly specialized to a few narrow skills, with entire other teams that exist only to catch their fuck ups.

Coding is low iq and gay and games are mostly assets and very little coding look at any credits for a AAA game 200 artists and like 2 devs

They don't.
Most games are made by an entire team of people. Much of their work with an existing engine used before is copying and pasting existing code into new areas for new combinations. With the rare new addition.
There is a small number of actual creative people that just hammer out pages of new code from in their head and create something good.
The rest find errors and copy and past sections of their work. Which now ai can do.

That is why the field got dominated by jeets and most games just use a new version of existing engines.
Being the first to code on a brand new engine is going to be harder. Skyrim as in your example used the same basic engine as oblivion but updated, starfield did as well. This means the engine's previous created coded by their betters with lines of code to reference cuts way down on having to figure things out.

Many games use unreal engine.
