Distance to quest marker... is it based on feet or meter?
So there is this thing that's been gnawing at my thoughts lately. Is the distance to markers on the map actually feet or meters? Because it seems too short to be in meters, and in my mind, it would make a lot more sense if those numbers mean feet. But then if you do the math, then the entire Velen map, when sized up, is about 5000x5000 'units'... now if this were meters, then it would mean 25 square kilometers, not too shabby, considering Skyrim had only 16. But if you do it in feet, then well, you get the idea, The Witcher 3's world is actually much smaller than what we were promised.
So what do you think? Is the distance shows up on the mini map actually feet or meter? I tried to do some estimation, and I have to say feet makes more sense to me.
