What I was aiming at is that Skyrim is pretty barren, look at Whiterun, it's supposed to be the trading hub of the province, hence always bustling with activity and yet all you ever see is the 15-odd guardsmen and some twenty people that live in the city, a city which also has some 15 homes (probably more).
Hell if they wanted to make a damned city they should have copied Balmora (or whatever that big city in Morrowind was named, the one where you take that note to that guy, your first main quest), that was plenty big even if it was mostly deserted.
Now I do realize this is a whole new province and things are bound to be different, but it all feels completely barren and empty with the biggest population being the damned draugr and following close are the bandits while the other few hundered people live in the cities and villages, I know that current technology can support bigger NPC populations that are capable of doing more than just uttering the same three lines whenever you walk past them.
And the dungeons are well designed, untill you realize they are all the same. The only real difference is how twisty the corridors get and in which way they implement the same Whale,Snake,Eagle puzzle (which is quite a nice idea and frankly the only thing that gives some sort of challenge or satisfaction when you figure it out).
