Not complaining but is anyone here just not satisfied with the ''major'' cities of Skyrim, mainly due to it's size? Not that it's not realistic or anything but it just feels like a town sometimes instead of a large, populated city.

I'm satisfied.

I'm cool with it.

It kind of take awhile for me to get ANYWHERE.

Do you realize how hard it would be to hand-craft a realistically sized city? We're talking about hundreds of "Skyrims."

I have to admit I was a tad disappointed with Whiterun for that reason.

I almost was disappointed with Markarth's size, until I realized how much was actually packed in there. Same with Windhelm.

Definitely disappointed with Winterhold. Did they really have to have 90% of it swallowed by the sea? Come on...the college is boring by itself. If there was a big city around it that would be cool.

I miss the trade district. very very badly

i wish there were more small villages with few things, riverwood IMO is the perfect village, i wish there were many more like it. many villages though seem to be worthless at least IMO, with usually just a tavern if your lucky..

I was expecting sooo much more from the cities.

This was my biggest disappointment, to be honest.

I felt as though the cities didn't have much depth to them.

I think it might be due to lack of NPCs.

Yea I was very disappointed by the cities. And house decoration...almost impossible

I think of the cities less as Cities but more as just regional capitals, towns with walls that house the Jarl and handle the major trade through the area. In fact, I didn't think they were actually meant to be cities, but rather what I just described.

More merchants would have been nice, preferably with enough money to buy all my stuff... ugh, so much stuff...

I haven't been to the other cities, but I really like Whiterun. It's very warm and relaxing.

I was hoping for more, too, having just played Daggerfall recently just to hang around in Skyrim before this game's release.

I didn't expect anything that glorious, not with all the graphic requirements and detail many people demand, but it feels much more like Bethesda's Fallout villages than it does the earlier cities from the Elder Scrolls series. And I know it's a nitpick, but since I walk pretty much everywhere I keep wondering how the roads are staying in such good shape and not overgrown with vegetation considering how little traffic they get.

Maybe it's magic.
