I can completely understand the concern, and although I have not played ESO I can have a good idea as to why some of these things may be the way they are. Keep in mind, whether its a developers decision or not, the game does take place hundreds of years before Skyrim takes place. Races that are extinct in Skyrim still exist in ESO and the developement of establishments could have very well changed in those hundreds of years. Riften, before it became a town of criminals may have once been a prestigeous and large city at one point, and Windhelm probably would look relatively new, although it is the oldest city in Skyrim and built in Ysgramors era. I would certainly think it shouldnt look old, run down, cold, and dreary like it is in Skyrim. But also dont forget one more thing, the style of ESO and ESV Skyrim is different and thats just how MMO's are made. I hate it, just like I believe you may do too, but thats just the artistic style difference is moving from a true sequel that relies on prestine graphics and playability, to Multiplayer Online games that doesnt have to focus so much on high rendering and has to have more data reserved for functionality. I hope this insight helps in any way, but I do see your point as well.
