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?

Wow Pisces, fellow stalkers think alike I see. I too have been wanting to mod Somerset Isle. Altmers being my favorite race as far as asthetics and attitude go. I would at least like to make a mod that takes place in parts of Sommerset and gives the overall feel of it.

To my knowledge there are no mods for Arena but there were some for Daggerfall, which took place in the province of Hammerfell. Isn't that right? Arena did cover the whole of Tamriel and yes, you could walk everywhere and I too used to get lost in the forest land ... but it was out there that I learned the rich lessons of looting dungeons.

Weren't the dungeons funny looking in Arena, Aki? There would be endless flat grasslands or forest and suddenly this mound would be sticking out of the earth with an opening in it and you'd be like "Alright! I'm gonna get rich now!"

Nope - Daggerfall is a city in High Rock. And whilst you could go walkies in Arena, fast travel between cities and the various nasty spots was a better bet - even if all the dungeons save the specials were based on exactly the same design.

Also note that in Arena, the only city in Imperial province is the Imperial City - much like any other city, really. Only you couldn't go visit the King/Queen/Count/Whatever.
