 This was one thing that sort of irked me in DA2. I want to see some diverse enviroments in DA3, which means that I don't want the main character to be cooped up in one city for the entire game. Maybe Orlais could be like some sort of central hub, but I want the protagonist to go explore several regions rather than just staying in one small part of the world map.

Yeah, the map's gonna be bigger than DA:O's apparently. That would be a very large city.

That's meaningless. DA:O didn't have a map, it just had a whole bunch of levels selectable from a 2D interface.

It was a map, and the POINT is that we're told to expect the DA:3 map to be even bigger.  Last I read, we could expect to travel within Orlais, Tevinter, and a few other places.  So yes, bigger map than that of Origins.

So what if the 2D map graphically displays more Thedosian geography, but has fewer 3D levels/playfields for your character to run around in and they are physically smaller than the ones from DAO and DA2? Is it still "bigger" than DAO? Do you see what I'm saying?

But the thread is asking for more than one environment and that's what a bigger map will accomplish. Instead of all the maps being of one big city it'll be spread out in multiple locations and styles.

I want to travel all through Thedas. Go to Antiva, Weisshaupt, Rivain, Orlais, Tevinter, Par Vollen, etc

You're just being obtuse on purpose.

It's a rhetorical question, not something I expect an answer to. And it's very important to parse dev-speak correctly. Saying the map in DA3 is going to be "bigger than DAO" is meaningless because the map in DAO had no dimensions. It was just a visual hub for loading different parts of the game. 

If they say DA3 will have more and larger levels/playfields than DAO, then you've got something approaching a concrete statement. Unless of course you're just thrilled at the prospect of a world map that shows more of Thedas than just Fereldan.

It would be nice to visit a range of environments.

I think they specifically said they weren't going to do a one city thing again.
