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?

Thanks Aki,

You're correct about the borders. Morrowind was basically an island in the game, while it should actually also be bordered by other provinces like Cyrodiil, Skyrim and the Black Marsh. The perfect TES game would be one where you could explore entire Tamriel!

And thanks for reminding me of the exciting Aylied dungeons. They do indeed have some exciting and innovative traps. Like I said in the previous post the caves and dungeons freak me out. That can only mean Bethesda have done a good job with these. They're much more scary and exciting than in Morrowind. And the area they've created for the caves etc. must be just as large as the surface world. Very impressive.

But another thing that struck me is how large the city of Vivec was in Morrowind. I think it will be a long time before this will be matched in a TES game again. Again, it would take a game that involved the entire Tamriel. I sure hope that will be done some day!
