yea, no matter what the size is I really doubt that I would be anything but going through the entire forest to kill every last deer, pig, gnome, goblins, ogres, and anything else I can find. It won't get boring for a few dozen hours and then it will just be a side mision of mine.

Exploring the wilderness is great, but that doesn't mean that I won't ever use fast travel, if there is a quest that I need to go from town x to y and I have walked between them in that direction like ten times...then I will prolly take a fast travel to the town instead of going over the same terrain.

I like to walk for hours in the park, used to do it all the time when I was a kid...looking forward to doing it again in OB.

No, Oblivion is way huger than San Andreas. In San Andreas you never actually push 60, it just says you do. Also, it's not 3 x 3 it's like 1 x9 at some part, and widens out to 3x3 at some parts, etcetera. There are still 5 more square miles included in Oblivion.

And no matter the size of OB it will be fuller and more fun for me than san andreas ever was....so with that ..........and a comment about the fact that no one mentioned an answer or reply to my question about the use of scaling/judging/ finding the landscape's size by comparison to the character's height......... I leave this topic forever, I wont refuse visitation though....

You can talk with people in Oblivion. You can only shoot people in San Andreas. That's a plus in itself. And the thing is, alot of land in San Andreas was just empty land. No people, no animals, nothing! That won't be so in OB, you'll have animals, people etc.

Also Curly G, you say that now, but have you seen that in gamer footage of I guy overlook the Imperial City? It give you some perspective. It will take forever to travel to by foot, even by steed. I know oftenly I'll be missing out on dungeons and stuff but I can't imagine walking the entire distance unless I was planning to explore and compassion.
