Is OB really bigger? Options

[magicalhobo]

I heard from many different places that OB was supposed to be bigger than MW. It doesn't seem that way to me. The world seems smaller for some reason. Don't get me wrong I love the game. I was just wondering if anyone else feels this. It could be because I've played MW londger and therefore explored much more. I don't know. Just wondering how everyone else feels.

I agree with all the comments regarding fast travel...if you use it, the world gets smaller quick. I think the other thing that gives the impression of a smaller world is the lack of variety in landscapes. In Morrowind, the rolling grassy hills of the northeast were very different from the parched sands of the northwest...and the southern regions had other distictive styles to them. In Cyrodil, the terrain seems to be pretty similar everywhere I've been, so you don't really get the feeling you've gone anywhere ELSE.

Then there was that big alien landscape in the center of the map in Morrowind that you had to go around due to the protective wall surrounding it. If you are an ant walking on a donut, you have to go all the way around the outside edge to reach the far side...if you're on an english muffin, you can cut straight through the middle which is much shorter. The forbidden zone in the center of Morrowind was the hole in our donut. Cyrodil is an english muffin. What's more, the main city is in the center rather than the extreme south, further shrinking necessary travel distances between civilization. Make sense?

Right, the envirionment changes in just a very subtle way, there are differences, but no desert-rainforest ones. Still i bet there is far more to discover when you actually go all those ways by foot, discovering every inch of it.
