You think something like the blighted village couldnt exist? Where I'm from theres lots of places that are like 3 houses that are a few kilometer away from the next city and the shops could easily be explained by the proximity to Waukeens rest. Its also not that different from something like Riverwood which has only like 5 families but still a smithy and a general goods store, the only real difference is that there currently arent any people there.
I'm not saying it couldn't exist, I'm saying it doesn't look like a village and the life of it.
There's only 3 houses, another one built under rocks (or maybe stones have grown on it, it seems like a better explanation when you look at it), another small one but without any door and a storage outside the walls.
To cross this village you only need 15 seconds, which mean its longest length is +- 40 meters.
What life could there have been in such a village ? There have always been 8 adults at best.
It looks like a hamlet or some kind of domain (not sure if "domain" suit well in EN) with an unusual variety of activities.
Don't get me wrong I like a lot the "models" and the overall design of it but it's too small according to me to be a beleivable village. It lacks at least 3 or 4 houses and a field for the mill.
