Cyrodiil a bit small? Options

[Olav]

I can't help but think that Cyrodiil seems quite small compared to Morrowind. Am I getting this impression only because it's possible to see that tall tower in the Imperial City from all over Cyrodiil, or is the game world smaller than it was in Morrowind?

In Morrowind I felt like I could travel in one direction for a long time, and my marker didn't move too much on the main map. In Oblivion however, I look on the map before doing a quest and think 'wow, it's going to take a long time to get there!'. But a few minutes or even seconds later I'm there.

Of course another thing that may give me this impression is that in Morrowind you never saw further than a short distance in any direction, while in Oblivion you can practically see 'as far as the eye can see'.

I'm not complaining or anything. After all we have the Oblivion realm to roam in too, as well as all the caves. And I truly love standing on a mountain somewhere in nice weather and see the tower and other cities and landmarks in the distance.

But I'm just wondering if anyone else have gotten the same impression as me?

I think no matter how big the world is, eventually we get to know every nook and cranny and that´s when it truly begins to feel small. Cyrodiil could have been twice as big, seven years down the road it would still begin to feel like a model train yard.

We're definitely the exception when it comes to continuous play of the same game. It was designed for players of an average attention span, plus a bit more because by that time they knew their audience.

I play a large number of diverse characters, mainly for mod testing, so I'm frequently picking up a game with no recollection of where I left off. I'm always surprised at how I know where I am even when I've saved in the middle of nowhere. The arrangement of rocks are starting to be familiar, and it won't be long before clumps of trees do too.

Maybe even Buffy´s level of attention span?

I'm not touching that. Not when she's got a new bow.
