do you play the game for 12 seconds each time?
No, but I remember that many times I had to go from the Rosethorn Hall Cellar (1) to the Main Hall. Then from there to the Skingrad' streets (2), and then directly to the stables where I had my horse (3) in order to get out from the city. Total gameplay: less than 5 minutes. That makes an average of nearly one loading screen per minute.
And that's only an example, and not an unusual or uncommon one precisely.
He said it will be just like it always were before, like in Oblivion and Fallout 3. No changes.
If true, then it's most dissapointing.
I hope it gets worked out with VERY NICE NPC AI, in order to justify maintaining that way.
