I'm a fan of the Elder Scrolls games, but I don't want a 64 square mile region to explore; it would take ages to get anywhere and everything would look so monotonous and boring. Skyrim in The Elder Scrolls V is perfectly large enough for my taste and Bethesda still managed to fit a lot in. It's not a whole lot. Vanilla Skyrim is just 60 hours of content, plus the extra 20-30 offered by all the DLC combined.

Aside from that, there's always Fast-Travel (in case you forgot). The feature conveniently reduces the amount of time spent in reality, but correctly estimates the game-time it would take (by foot, by horse, by carriage, etc.).

To most fans of TES (as I should've said it) it would be much more immersive to have Tamriel be closer to how large it is advertised to be (slightly larger than all of Europe).

Greater Provincial size is also an excuse for much more content! :D
