![]() I don't know what you all think about that. I wish New Atlantis was bigger than it's actual playable space. It feels like in Starfield you can see and touch everything, and it feels like everything that has been colonized should be bigger. You had small districts that were relatively easy to model, but by having to load other places you just felt like Bowerstone was big, like there were a lot of unseen space between locations. That was always something that I felt Fable did best. And you do have places like Byzantium where you're only playing in a limited space, but you can see that it's bigger than that. I feel like having small cities in Outer Worlds was more or less ok, first obviously because it's a small game, but also because, lore-wise, colonies haven't been built all that long ago. I get that not every game can have huge cities, but when looking at Novigrad, arguably one of the biggest cities in 3D RPGs, it felt grand, and since you're not playing on the entirety of the region, you feel like there might be other cities like that out of our reach and the world becomes big and coherent. ![]() Like, I see the small gif from Neon City, and if all we have is one street, one docking room and a control room, the equivalent of the Groundbreaker in Outer Worlds, with no additional places outside our reach, it'll feel really small to me. However, in Starfield, since you're supposed to be able to go everywhere, knowing that New Atlantis is supposed to be the biggest city in the universe, and seeing how small it actually is, means you'll never feel the way you feel when seeing the Citadel. ![]() In Elder Scrolls, it's already a little less ideal (Whiterun is small, honestly) but again, you're playing on just one part of a massive land, so you know there is a lot more. In Skyrim and Fallout games, I'm never surprised when cities are small, in Fallout because most people have died anyway, and you're only playing in a limited countryside, so you know that there are a lot more people outside the perimeter of the game. In Mass Effect, when you're at the Citadel, you can only just go in a couple of small floors, but you can see how big the place looks and it feels real even if you can't go everywhere. However, a more legitimate concern I have is how small the cities look.
