A small thing I've been working on the past weeks in between school etc

Nerevarine aka protagonist of TES: III Morrowind which has been my favourite video game for over a decade

Elder Scrolls games have a scale issue.

Slugging along the vast landscapes of Cyrodiil, I had a lot of time to hing back to the debates of how large Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind land masses actually are.

The Cyrodiil province in ESO is vast. Too vast to not use a horse. And it feels a hell of a lot larger than the same area in Oblivion (and that’s without including the gold coast area, Anvil and Kvatch among other things).

On the other hand, the Vvardenfel province in ESO feels a lot smaller than what it was in Morrowind. Why is that? walking speed? differences in scale of characters vs landscape elecments? scale of the land masses themselves?

Oh... and yeah... that’s a PvP area. To the level 450 player who reminded me that by one shoting my level 40 mage in the middle of nowhere, I say “thanks for the reminder... I hope you are proud of your kill”.

I also say this to him “I fart in your general direction”
