On one hill I could clearly see Kvatch in one direction and Anvil in the other. And I had the feeling it was only a ten minute run between the two cities. Personally, I would like to have a bigger land and more exploring to do. Oh yes, and without the targets on the map and the compass. Those do away with all the sense of achievement of finding places.
The world does seem much smaller than it did in Morrowind precisely for this reason - the park analogy is good. I am not sure if Morrowind was actually any larger in terms of square miles - but it SEEMED so much larger.
