I think before the great collapse, Winterhold wouldn't have needed walls because there were so many mages there to protect the city.

And with the question of graphics, I'd be fine if Bethesda kept the graphics at Skyrim's level or just a little bit better, if only the cities had more people, and were slightly bigger (Like the cities in Oblivion). I can say that I know 90-97 percent of the people in Whiterun and what their role is. I can't say that about the residents of the Imperial City or Bruma in Oblivion, just to give an example.
