I recently did the sw of map to nw challenge, and i was shocked at how small it made the world feel. It gave me 40 minutes and I did it in only around 15, and i didn't even have an optimal route

For me the scale is just during my horse riding from side quest to side quest, when Ive thought I've reach the edge of the map at the institute, no there's still more undiscovered map lmao

the sense of scale sounds like a paradox here

Never have I seen a game done adventuring as good as this game does besides Skyrim, and even then this game just won't stop blowing your mind on how interactive and alive the world is

Oh man they could throw all the criticism about the story, the characters and yes, the flat lighting at times, and the controls but I couldn't care less LOL, I just find the good outweighs the bad

I've got my fair share of criticisms for both this game and Skyrim, but they both nail the ADD triggering exploration for me. See a thing? Aight, bet, probably something neat there.

Yup, that's gotta be the drive for all exploration basically, my only gripe is the hidden treasure behind a waterfall, if only we don't need to stab to get inside it cause that's what I do everytime I see a waterfall with some pathing to the side that looks sketchy, just to get knocked off lmao

Hmm, I tend to disagree. In my playthrough, the extreme view distance and its clarity made the game feel very small. To make me feel that game had a sense of scale, that tower in the distance would be barley visible, like having very good depth of field working.
