man, i really hate vivec town.
everything looks alike.
once i leave somebody to go on their little search and find mission, getting back to them is even more boring than finding them the first time.
ack!
:(
somehow i don't mind wandering the countryside at all. but gee, vivec makes me feel like a mouse in a maze, searching for cheese that isn't there.

thanks for letting me rant :p

I'll echo these sentiments. Vivec must be a bloody awful place to live, where everything looks the same, and getting anywhere takes an absolute age.
In fairness to the developers though, it is a unique-looking place. Uniquely horrible, true, but I can't think of any other place in gaming which really resembles it.

I know that there are atleast two mods that (attempt to) remedy this; I don't have their URLs right here, however.

A glitch I noticed which can slightly speed up your footslogging around Vivec: on the exterior of the cantons you can jump over the ledge and fall down to a lower level without taking any damage. (even with low acrobatics skill, I don't think the game even registers it as "big drop, calculate damage!")

Aye, I agree. Vivec is a CITY. It needs things outside... True, there are expansions that try to remedy this, but it's not good enough. There needs to be variety - wares on the streets, signs, NPCs, yelling, screaming, shouting. Everything! (And I hope there's children in Oblivion...)

I got so frustrated by Vivec on my old archaic computer (p2-333, TNT2, 160 Mb RAM) that whenever I had to do something in there I just used the teleport/map change commands from the console. Built-in teleporters would have surely helped the way through that horrible city.

i've gotten pretty used to vivic, but then yesterday while i was playing i fell right thru the whole canton while walking around (jumping actually). almost as if to say "your character is carrying crap so much he broke the walkway". very annoying because i had to swim very far to get out then i got caught because i had a bounty on me and they took away the indoril armor i had stolen :(
