Daggerfall (all one word) had proceduralized generated random
landscapes.
instanced dungeons were hand crafted.

Oblivion was even more generated content and ever tower was the same,
kill shit as you climb tower(s) and flip between towers til you reach
own and close rift.

Literally the same thing over and over again.

Daggerfall had its issues, but it was the peak of the series.

Skyrim was so small it basically happened in the back yard, whereas if
you look at the space on the map, it's supposed to be the size or larger
than Daggerfall.


Supposed to be the size of the mid west, but actually the size of Maine.

Next elder scrolls game - suppose to be thousands of sq kilometers,
actual size, living room in tiny apt.
