does the map open up? im only on the starting quests and the map seems small, does the map open up or bigger?

The game is divided in 2 parts, with 2 fairly large seperate maps. Dont remember if the map is cut in the introduction.

KCD2 comes with two maps: a map with 2048x2048 meter and a map with 4096x4096 meter. That's the map's terrain size, not the playable area within.

For information, in CryEngine 3.8 (which KCD2 is based off) the following map size are possible: 512x512m, 1024x1024m, 2048x2048m, 4096x4096m.

You walk by foot and ride a horse. Also hills with rocks that cannot be climbed and small lakes that form natural barriers.
The world is condensed, smaller than in real life, like almost every RPG.

KCD1's map is 4096x4096 meter.

CryEngine 5 would have allowed map sizes up to 8192x8192 meter in size, so KCD1 + both KCD2 maps could be combined in one map big open world map. But KCD2 stayed on v3 linage. Only a handful open world games would have been bigger than a possible 8192x8192m map, e.g. GTA V and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
