Ahhh

It's mostly because big part of the city isnt only what is behind the walls but also what is outside. Mills, farms, bath houses, fishing spots, gardens, etc. All this make it way bigger than just having everything inside the walls. Also many houses had more than one floor and allowed more than 1 family per house.

>and all of them have NPCs with 24 hour schedules

lol Skyrim ain't Oblivion kid

damn Witcher 3 looks like this??!?!?

Rattay is a small town retard, not a city.

>completely static environment, no name NPCs with only a few enterable houses

copy paste more mean good

at least skyrim has rich characters and expansive plots despite smaller towns

you expected a population of 30.000 named npcs with set routines?
how old are you kiddo?

>no name NPCs

ah yes, compared to Rodrick, who hates monday, do the same shit everyday and has 3 lines of dialogues.

Fine rodrick, one of the greatest inhabitants of this city (population : 24)

How can the whitest and most educated people be blacks?

hey, it's almost as if they're two completely different games and one was made 4 years later, who'd have thought?

The thing is, up until oblivion, TES was a very different game compared to witcher. There were many wacky moments and you could do crazy shit with levitation, chameleon, acrobatics etc. Skyrim takes itself way too seriously and doesn’t have any fun gameplay mechanics. But it doesn’t do the presentation part properly either, and TW3 completely destroys it in that department. Bethesda should just stick to what it does best.

Even this gives a better impression of hugeness.

no amount of time and effort would make a bethesda style city actually work my man
naming every npc and hiving them sed shit is just a retarded design standpoint, it would be ok to do it with some special characters but not fucking everybody
and then you also have to consider how retardedly hard skyrim was to optimize because of that too

what do they eat?

the entire point is believability, that's all there is to it, they're not going to backtrack and remove a staple of the entire series, since the moment you can't talk to someone it shatters the illusion that it's a living world

Reported for extreme sarcasm

Strangely enough, it actually felt big. For example, I think that I never visited the left zone with the river.

>Morrowind N'wahs btfo

yeah well if te point is believablility then they fucked up badly because while i can believe i wouldnt know every persons name in every city, and wouldnt have anything to talk to them about i sure as shit dont believe that the nordic capital consists of 12 houses and around 30 residents

This is flat out wrong, but even if it was right, why the fuck wouldn't you want to have more buildings and npcs to make the town look more alive? Do you interact with everyone in a real city? God forbid you would want some immersion instead of just wanting every npc to give you another brain dead "radiant" quest because it makes your underdeveloped ape brain feel good.

that actually is huge if you look at it, the streets are just needlessly big.

it's a hard design problem to tackle for the series going forward, yeah, there's no way they'll be able to have a city of 12 houses or 30 people in TES VI
I'm pretty sure they're going to go wild with AI and procedurally generated stuff, even going so far as to use AI voice generation, going by Todd's comments on the 'technology not being there yet'

Oblivions master tier level npc schedules
Daytime
>npcs walk around mindlessly
Nightime
>npcs sleep

nah, todds a liar
my bet is on TES6 never coming out

You don’t need AI techniques to generate NPCs, a simple randomizer will do. The problem is the way the games work. Every single clothing item and weapon is a separate model that can be interacted with. There’s a lot of synchronisation and memory bs involved. NPCs in witcher don’t have multiple items on top of their model. The clothes, swords, necklaces - they are all a single model and there’s no need to keep track of 15 items for every NPC and render graphics separately for everything.

How is that not believable? Do you just walk up to everyone on the street and try to start conversations with them? Do you know the names and lives of every person in your city? Those npcs don't have names in the game because because they don't matter to the story

>10 years difference in tech
>only double the actual content

it's like comparing bf1942 to bf3

behold, the capital of skyrim
