I don't think it will work, the world would either have to be shrunk to a scale that wouldn't do the series justice or the design team would need ten years to build the world alone and the game would ship on ten Blu-ray discs.  |
"Scale" is an important word here - in the earlier games, the overworlds seemed large because everything was presented on a different scale there as opposed to in towns. You'd cover the length of towns in single footsteps, and so on. It wouldn't be that hard to get that sense of scale again.
It just might require random encounters to make a return.
