I would of course prefer the games major "cities" to be bigger, but what really was even more disappointing is lack of depth of the NPC's within them. If they had more dialogue options, more things said when passing. some things NPC's say really should be one time only. i would rather have the blacksmith just say "how is your day" or "been a long day" or some other generic small talk, then asking me every hour if I know her father and how she isnt the best blacksmith. I can get over and understand size and number of NPC for performance issues and such, but some more dialogue could of gone along way to making the world feel bigger.
