Absolutely impeccable logic.

This is what happens when you make games solely based off of questions like, "If Apple made a game, what would it look like?"

If Apple were responsible for Skyrim you wouldn't be able to do anything in-game, unless it was done via i-tunes and with Steve Jobs permission!

If we take a look at a http://majamaki.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/skyrim-map-bethesda-todd-howard-lg.jpg *snip*

i dont mean to be a conspiricy nut, or to derail the topic but. . .why is there something written on the map near the road border from windhelm to morrowind?

Edit: looks like it says "So, the Greater?"

i just wish the docks had been a little more important, in hundreds of hours of playing i can say i have spent less then 5 minutes on those docks. you would think some shady docks would make for an interesting quest point. . .guess not

Quest spoilers:

The only way it connects with other cities on the water is by the huge waterfalls and rapids near Ivarstead. In other words, the only place ships can travel to from Riften docks is to Ivarstead or the honey farm and back, and even if they did go to Ivarstead the ships would have to dock upstream so they didn't get caught in the rapids by the town. The Honey farm has a perfectly functional road and bridge that leads right to Riften, and if you think about the time and money it would take to build a dock between the two, it's far cheaper and just as fast to take the road.

So...why does Riften even have one of the biggest docks in Skyrim? The boats can't get to or from the docks to anywhere else of note, and the only way they could have gotten ships to Riften in the first place would be to build them there.

(Probably thinking to in depth about this, but it's been bugging me ever since I saw Riften )

thanks for the tips, off to go quest.

yh, lol. That and it'll keep trying to sell you apps or little add-ons. The game won't even have a theme tune unless purchased through i-tunes.

It'll be like Fable 3 all over again with all the silly money spinning daft little dlc instead of them spending the time to make one great big decent dlc like the fans were asking for. Reading many posts at the time on the Fable forum, it was the silly money spinners that greatly insulted many of the fans loyalty. Especially as they hadn't sorted out many of the bugs at the time of them churning them out. Many have vowed never to buy a Lionhead game ever again. I'm ok as I never bought them nor did I have any bugs in my game luckily.

World scaling...

The lake in the lore is much, much, much, much, much bigger. Vvardenfell is smaller than Skyrim lorewise, however because of world scaling the world of Morrowind is significantly bigger than the world of Skyrim and that even though Morrowind was scaled down quite a bit compared to Daggerfall.

What are you even talking about. Bethesda has said their DLC policy is to have something substantial. Everything they've released up to now has been free.

This has always been my take with the ES games. After all, if we take the provinces' size at face value, they would be about 10 miles x 10 miles. All of Tamriel would fit inside of Rhode Island. It just is not possible to make a game world that is the size of France or Great Britain at a 1:1 scale. Since the lake outside of Riften is big even by game standards, I imagine its real world equivalent would be something like Lake Baikul or Lake Superior.
