Sorry if this isn't in the right place to post this, but I couldn't find a Daggerfall general discussion.
I was just wondering, is the Daggerfall map really as big as some people claim it to be? I don't remember where I read it, but I read that it would take 2 weeks real-time to get from one end of the map to the other. Is this true? I also heard there was around 800k NPCs....

Yeah, it's pretty damn enormous. That's about all I can say.

I'm sure its not very detailed then

Well, when the game looks like http://www.gamesas.com/images/games/gamescrn_daggerfall_02-B.jpg, you sort of have more room for huge maps.

Daggerfall is about 1.685 times the size of England. Morrowind is about 0.01% as big as Daggerfall if that gives you any idea.

No, not very detailed, but at the time it was stunning. The whole game was stunning, as a matter of fact. There are few games that I remember as that impressive--Daggerfall, the first Sim City, the first Civilization, Sims 2.

This is not true. The game create NPCs on the spot, and give them a random name.

So, if you were to leave a town for a while, would you return to the same town for example 30 days later and see the same people?
