dream remake of oblivion

So i know that this will never happen but here we go.

I thought it would be awesome if it could be done to remake oblivion with a way better engine and making the map like 9-10 times the size. What i mean by that is think about how big the map is in game it takes about 20 - 30 mins to walk across or some thing like that. Now imagine if you could take each county and make just that county say county anvil the size of the entire oblivion map. So now say ( i'm just guessing here) that instead of it taking like idk 3-5 mins to walk across county anvil it would now take about 20-30 mins. Now add that to the rest of the county's in Cyrodiil and instead of 20- 30 mins to walk across the entire map it would take a few hours.

Now each section of the map would have as many quest as say original oblivion did so pretty much it would take for ever to beat every thing in this game. But i would change some things up with it. again say your in anvil your really wont get to many quest that will make you go from Anvil to say Bruma. Because well for the people that don't like to fast travel it would take them hours to walk from city to city ( well depending on how far away a city is like anvil to Kavatch that might take like 45 - 50 mins but Anvil to Leyawiin could take up to 2 or so hours maybe even more). So pretty much long distance quest would be left to the main quest and faction quests but only where it makes since when it comes to factions. some exception to that would be the quest where you meet one of the twins inn Chorrel and you have to go find his brother in cheydinhall and things like that.

I always thought it was weird that when getting a regular fighters guild quest they would send you across the map when they could have just had a member in a city closer to the destination do it. Its been a while since i actually played the fighters guild quest line but for an example you might get a quest in Chorrle that has you go to a fort or a cave or some thing that's a stones throw away from Bravile. why the hell would you not just hire some one from the Bravil fighters guild chapter to do that quest instead of sending some one half way across the country?

Any ways so in my remake i would make it so if you get a quest where you need to clear out a cave or some thing it will be with in the county you got the quest in. When you get to main parts of the fighters guild quest line tho you will still have to go to Leyewiin and join the black wood company ( I think that's what there call right?) Now every county in the game will be a game with in it self. walking through the great forest aimlessly you will get lost if your not careful. Bringing back the direction's you would get from NPC's in Morrowind would be great for when you are doing a quest since the map is so huge. which leads me to think there should be different modes regular and a hard core. Since the game is so huge some people will want the quest markers but hardcoe mode you will only have directions from npc's instead of quest markers.

Now since each county is as big as Cyrodiil was in Oblivion the cities could be Assassin's creed sized cities. with the IC being the biggest city it would be ACR's Constantinople sized and others being like Havana sized maybe even smaller. This is where having as many quest as oblivion originally had comes in. I think that was like 300 some thing before SI could be wrong tho. Any ways so with all that now think about the battle for Bruma quest where you have to go to all the cities and get help before the battle. This time when the battle comes it won't be no 10 people it could be hundreds maybe as many as up to 1000. The actual battle would now be lord of the rings sized well maybe not that big but you get what i'm saying.

well that's it for now i'll post more later let me know what you think or what you would add to this to make it even better.

and again before any one starts saying this would never happen no [censored] lol i know this, this is just a thought i had.

and sorry for any bad grammar or spelling
