Why is novigrad so damn huge

[Ari]

So after 60 hours i finally walked into novigrad. And wow. Just wow. It is much much bigger than i expected. And i am the kind of person that explores every single piece of the map, every single building and does every single quest. Rippp me. Expects to be finished with novigrad in 20 hours :|

Yesterday was the first time i got annoyed by the game in Novigrad. Some quests will get you go back and forth, back and forth x10 (after you saved Dandelion) and no fast travel points nearby.
The lower smaller section of Novigrad crossing the bridge to the northern part over and over. O_O
Most of the times i could immerse myself in the city though! These Witcher cities blow the Skyrim ones out of the water xD
Good looking hoes too :P

Novigrad has 12 signposts. Farcorners (area just to the south) has 9 and the Vegelbud Residence area has 13. That's 43 in total. No fast travel points nearby??

Believe me when i say for a few quests there are none nearby. I'm not lying man!

I don't know if this link will work as intended.
I'm talking about the city though!
Only 3 signposts there.

It ll take more than 20 hours if you do all quests and hear all dialogue tho, it gets annoying after a while im not going to lie.

I love Novigrad. The first game city that actually is a city not just a couple houses and two streets.

Pop a Werewolf Decoction and leg it

RPGs pace slow down to a crawl when you reach a settelement. Prepare for lots and lots of dialogue and quest-givers. Standard pattern.

Good idea. Might do that

Me too! Especially the real one, in Croatian Istria. (Funnily enough, not the only name of a real place that pops up in this game)

Wait really. I gotta check it out

I check it out. Looks amazing. The buildings looks so similar to the game ones

The gates are within the city limits so they count as Novigrad's signposts. Seriously though, if you cannot run a few blocks without a signpost, how in the world will you handle Toussaint in Blood and Wine? Did you really expect them to put a signpost every three blocks?

Do you really think i'm a gamer kid?
Again... READ. I love the cities and every landscape but a few quests in "that" city of Novigrad made me quit for the day just for the sake of back and forward.
I hate it in every open world RPG. depends on the quests (LIKE I SAID).
If a certain quest has more than a few branches PLEASE spread it out and not in the same path.
That city was awesome and immersive but then you start to get quests that i thought "not that road agin?" AND yup, it was back and forth'.... ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN YOU PLAYED FOR 10 HOURS STRAIGHT ALREADY xD
No big deal though....
Loving the game to its full potential (or i try to)

There's also a few Belgian references (Kriek is the best)
