Mods allow them to be whatever any wishes, and i still remember with joy the countless hours spent on Morrowind fishing, exploring the underwater world, new amazing cities, Npc's that feel alive, horses, all that was not in the original game but modders contribute!</p>Aliasi Stonebender commented on 'World of Skyrim Actually Much Smaller Than San Francisco'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0162ffeb9073970d2012-01-21T01:36:48Z2012-01-21T01:36:48ZAliasi Stonebenderhttp://slcds.infoThis ignores, of course, that Skyrim is a deliberately simplified and stylized representation of the game world - unless you...<p>This ignores, of course, that Skyrim is a deliberately simplified and stylized representation of the game world - unless you thought a bustling trade city like Whitewall would REALLY be only a castle, a couple dozen buildings, and maybe twenty people.</p>Graham Mills commented on 'World of Skyrim Actually Much Smaller Than San Francisco'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0162ffea4fe6970d2012-01-20T22:19:54Z2012-01-20T22:19:54ZGraham MillsOops -- that should be 0.086 unless Wales just shrunk.<p>Oops -- that should be 0.086 unless Wales just shrunk.</p>Graham Mills commented on 'World of Skyrim Actually Much Smaller Than San Francisco'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0168e5e029c0970c2012-01-20T22:18:50Z2012-01-20T22:18:50ZGraham MillsJust for idiotic completeness, we in the UK (apart from the Welsh) tend to use the size of Wales as...<p>Just for idiotic completeness, we in the UK (apart from the Welsh) tend to use the size of Wales as our benchmark and there is a handy website for such calculations: <a href="http://www.simonkelk.co.uk/sizeofwales.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.simonkelk.co.uk/sizeofwales.html</a> . I can reveal therefore that 1800 km^2 is 0.86 times the size of Wales. In case anyone was worried... oh, maybe just me then.</p>Pussycat Catnap commented on 'World of Skyrim Actually Much Smaller Than San Francisco'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0162ffe7e70c970d2012-01-20T18:35:23Z2012-01-20T18:35:23ZPussycat Catnaphttp://catnapkitty.wordpress.comMeter for meter, this is likely also true for other Pac-Man games like 'Kings Quest IV' ;) Its important to...<p>Meter for meter, this is likely also true for other Pac-Man games like 'Kings Quest IV' ;)</p>
<p>Its important to remember that Skyrim is not a virtual world. Its just a Pac-Man knockoff with better graphics.<br />

So you could travel by days, discover amazing cities and so on!<br />
As always Bethesda main goal is to allow modders (and that's why their games are mainly for Pc and only later to consoles, where mod is not allowed) to improve the flaws and enhance a base that is already amazing!<br />
To bad that I, a long devoted player of their games, discovered Second Life;)<br />
