Inside the walls is an amazing experiance. I dont mind the over population. Its all opportunity.
There is tons of diversity and culture. Local shops, street merchants, local and out of province cart merchants. Aromas of cooked meats and baked goods. Huge crowds and cheering from the Arenas. Friends, family, lovers, and strangers. Parades and celebrations. Inspiring art culture. Diverse architectures of homes and shacks. People everywhere. Theres debauchery, day and night. Drunks, [censored]s, and skooma addicts. Thieves, strangers, creeps, and weirdos. Night life hole in the walls. Alleys and streets you dont go down. Neighborhood skooma wars and kingpins fighting for city dominance. Political figures. Corruption. Wealthy elite and Guilds playing the background. Intellectuals and philosophers debating and scheming. Spiritual energy every where...
Beth, can we please at least have an ES that focuses on actual city life? Can we tone down on trying to build a whole province and focus on sections of provinces to allow a proper city setting? I would rather have one huge city then five that doesn't even represent lore or actual city culture.
As an example, the Imperial City. It would have been better if you expanded the landmass of the island it sits on, and just focused on that area. That would have allowed a bigger, heavily populated, and a more detailed city. Also, you would have had more landmass for forts, caves, ruins, and small towns/villages as well. Instead of trying to cram every thing into a whole province. The focus could have been on a smaller section of the province, like Morrowind/Vvardenfell. On top of letting our imagination go wild on how the rest of the province might be like.
Tribunal was a step in the right direction and would even be happy with an expansion. I love the series but Iam tired of the Immersion breaking cities on top of the amazing world designs.
Does anybody else agree with this?
