Pffffffft. You see Hammerfall/High Rock on the color maps? See the bay dividing the two of them? See how not-big it is?

In-game, it's the size of TWO GREAT BRITAINS.

The Elder Scrolls people don't really know how to make consistent map sizes. Illac Bay is about one tenth the size of Skyrim, twice the size of Vvardenfell, and one sixteenth of the Imperial Province, despite being about a hundred times larger than all of them combined in-game.

Before logging on today, I never thought it would be possible to fap to a map.

I am wiser now.

The world of Elder Scrolls isn't something they just come up with in each game:



This has even more detail about Skyrim - as far as ciies and interesting places anyway.
Hang on. I thought they just said that Skyrim was bigger than Cyrodiil. It looks quite a bit smaller on this map.
Thats just how the map looks chances are it is gonna be scalled so that it actualy will be bigger. Plus that map isnt official.

In Morrowind, you only played on the central island of Vvardenfell. The majority of mainland Morrowind (Bar the capital) was inaccessible land.

Am I the only one noticing stuff like this is always in Russian for some reason? Looks like what I assumed the map would be like, anyways.
well it is TRUE that russian have much less procedures of hiding stuff from leaking and it is also TRUE that they get many things earlier (just look at region 5 dvds, almost every movie comes out in there first).

On topic, now i dont know how big it will look in-game, but i expected more. Then again the only game i saw which in my opinion had a map "big enough" was grant theft auto: san andreas.

Having played through Morrowind over 20 times for the past few years and still playing it, I know that, thank you.
Look again:

So the playable map of Skyrim being smaller than the one of TES III is very astounding considering the rather small size of Vvardenfell.

I wish they would be more consistent and use the scale established by Morrowind...Cyrodiil and Skyrim would be huge. I remember walking across Vvardenfell just exploring the many secrets and wonders. Those were the days.

Still not interested its bigger but it prolly means its just got more unclimable mountains and more goblin lairs. I never really got into Bloodmoon and as a result im not surprised that skyrim isnt resonating for me.

Yeah but Oblivion was the same 10 yards of Sussex copy-pasted to ... well oblivion. This might be big, but if it's all the same again I won't be that impressed.
I didn't know Sussex had snow-capped mountains. Well, you learn something new every day ;)

Looks good. I hope there are a few more towns then shown on the map. I love discovering little villages.
Now they need to release the PC specs so I know what format to get it on.
Simple, get it on PC. You shouldn't even need to think about it.
Yes, buy Skyrim for the PC even if you don't know if you'll be able to run it. That should be obvious, nub.

Clearly this map is proof that Skyrim will be the best game in the history of ever.
Clearly. I mean, how would it not? Just look at how mappy it is.

And there is a lot of world to fill. Don't get me wrong, Oblivion featured a hefty amount of Cyrodiil to play around in, but a side-by-side comparison of Skyrim and Cyrodiil (which is pretty easy, considering they share a border) shows that while Cyrodiil seems large, it isn't quite as large as you might think, due to being hook-shaped and featuring loads of boring, bland water. Skyrim, on the other hand, features no such trickery. It is a seriously solid block of world, no doubt about it.
I hate to break it to you Scott, but skyrim is littered with impassible mountains.

Well, if he's even considering buying it for the PC then he's going to have at least some capable hardware.

I just love the fact that 2 assignments i have are in on the 10th, so as soon as i get home i hit the preload button, then at midnight it's all out war! considering friday is a day off for me...well this plan will work provided steam allows the uk to play at our midnight rather than something like the us's midnight..
