But, aren't Alduin and Akatosh the same? We have to kill Martin/Akatosh?

[Littledude]

Akatosh isn't Alduin.

[Man 2]

Alduin is the Nordic answer to Akatosh, in the same way as Zeus is the Greek answer to Jupiter.

[Littledude]

yeah
but seeing as the religion was kind of solidified as truth in oblivion, akatosh is its own thing.

Alduin is another thing, considering there is actual history of the original dragonborn guys sealing him away for-almost-ever.

I heard a bunch of my friends complaining how the map is going to be really small.
From what I've heard its 12 Square Miles. If I'm correct, that's about 20sq km, and that's just about the same size as Panau in Just Cause 2.

It takes about 5 minutes to fly from one end to the other in JC2, with the Pell Silverbolt, so if Skyrim has a map that big, it would take an hour or two just to go that far by foot.

They could make another game that encompasses all of cyrodiil, but they couldn't really do it without making individual zones for each province.
With modern graphics anyway, Arena did it, but arena didn't have 3 dimensional models and stuff.

It's a bit smaller than Oblivions map.

[Littledude]

I don't know why people complain about the size of the map.

It's all about hours of gameplay for me, and Skyrim has tons of that.

[TwenteFreak]

Exactly, and besides, it's not just the ''outside'' map. What about the interiors?
