So Swen has said this about the game a few times. What do you guys think that means? If Baldur's Gate was, say, 4xEAs in size that sounds pretty big. Or 10 Novigrads with every building fully accessible.
Have they said much else about the scope of the story. It seems like a jaunt in Avernum is possible, originally when they said that the EA was most of Act I, I'd tempered my expectations a little, but it really doesn't have to have much bearing on the acts to come.
The way scale and distances in DOS:2 were treated also had me temper my expectations a little, with maps feeling more like King's Bounty or Heroes Quest in terms of size and scale. That sensibility kind of shows in the EA too.
But Swen really talking up the size of the game does give me some hope.
