It's not funny, its PS3 limitations.

It's not even that - Players asked for this for 2.0 lol because the logic presented was: "Smaller zones = better design."

Tbh, even dark souls had a better design than 1.0. 1.0 was just.... barren.

Sure it was big, but I guess if you like how 'fallout 3' was, then yeah you'd love it.
Coerthas has the best of both worlds so far imo, just needs a dangerous zone (that chasm is kind of dangerous if you were in the 30s... agroable monsters that could kill you if you fell down).

You also have to take into consideration 1.0 was never finished and pretty much in all level design, it will be fairly barren from the start. Another thing a lot of people didn't realize was the 'copy paste' also was done due to the soft zoning in the "seamless world", so it kept the world looking consistent but you'll notice it when you're looking for it.
