Sorry for digging up an old thread.... My coworker recently showed me Elder Scrolls online, and it got me thinking, what if you could travel the entire Tamriel in game. Since the online game supposedly is PC only, there are no console limitations. Correct me if i'm wrong. I then got on this quest to figure out how big Tamriel is really. I see the above post about sizes, and have seen some that say Tamriel is about the size of Australia. Earlier in this post, it says about 1.4 times the size of Alaska. If you look at the maps of Tamriel that are out, almost all of them are pretty consistant with the size of Skyrim as to how it relates to the rest of Tamriel. Skyrim is about the same size at Hammerfall, and roughly 2/3 the size of Cyrodill. OK, I HAVE done this. I have walked from Riften, past Falkreath, to Markarth. I was bored. Even with fighting off bears, wolves, occasional random bandits and other annoyances, I still walked that distance in about 2 hours REAL TIME. not game time. That works out to a little over 3 miles. A lot of estimates I see online are that Skyrim is 3.5 miles wide. OK, now given the width and height of Skyrim, using a simple ruler, you can estimate the size of Tamriel. Now, I'm basing this info from maps that Bethesda has put out. To me, the entire Tamriel is maybe a little bit bigger than the city I live in, in real life. A bit bigger than the Baltimore metro area, but definately smaller than, say, Kansas City. How can an entire continent, which has both tropical and winter like areas, and desert areas in some sestions, be smaller than some USA cities? Where does Bethesda get this 12 million square miles area? By comparrison, the USA is 3.7 million square miles, and it takes months REAL time to walk from one side to the other. Tamriel is 4X bigger than the USA? I do not know where you get the Australia or Alaska comparison. Tamriel is teeny tiny.
