To all "anons" who say "no game is larger than skyrim", there is, just cut up. Just because open-world doesn't mean Skyrim renders all NPC's, mobs, and events THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE MAP.

Skyrim's map is made out of cells...and in those cells...there are more cells...and those cells contain even more cells...

The only thing Skyrim should worry about is dialouge options changing after you do something, and Bethesda didn't do a good job about that.

Thank you, pro-bethesda anons.
