This is a big deal to me. A very big deal. I want my game worlds
created by human beings, not by programming algorithms. I do not place
the same priority on game world size that you do. Not in single player
games anyway. 

With that said, I already know without having even played it yet, that
Daggerfall is a better game then Arena. How much so, remains to be
seen. For me, it will depend entirely on how much depth Daggerfall has
to go along with its breadth. It's that simple.
