Hoooo, Hoss! They were talking about 20%! 
But I guess it's about the size of Skyrim and GTA V combined.

Are there a lot of random caves and dungeons you can explore?
20? they said 20% but i would said thats not really true anymore... and by that i mean its bigger. some sites even said its 3-4 times bigger then skyrim but i dont know if i can believe its that big
Not random - designed by hand, each and every one of them, and there will be a lot indeed. I bet you'll be pleased
The final number seems to be at least 3.5x times the size of Skyrim and 50% bigger than GTAV. I say at least because that number doesn't take into account for White Orchard, Kaer Morhen, and other spin-off zones.

That 20% larger than Skyrim number that news sites tout around seems to be an early estimate. I know they said the world ended up being 4 times larger than what they initially planned.

And they are all made of LEGOs. Hardly a just comparison. For the exact number of caves etc. we'll have to wait a little longer.
The way I understand it as well, is in most cases, we're talking just strictly land mass. I think we occasionally lose site of the three dimensionality of this world as well-- the diving, deep cave systems, interior building/structures. Its all pretty fascinating.
Not so sure on an exact number but I believe we're looking at two major cities and numorous (I don't know how many) villages and small towns.
Thanks
Any idea on how the second big city is in comparison to Novigrad?Based on the world map I would guess about 1/2 the size of Novigrad. But both cities have outskirts aswell.Thanks

Here's a Youtube video that shows off the scale very well.
Before comparing it to Skyrim, consider that the horse moves leagues faster than the ones in Skyrim, the red dot is enlarged so it's easier for viewers to track, and that there are 3 other maps(I think) that we don't know the exact layout or size of.
As for your question about the size of the other city, based off of what I've seen it's a LOT bigger than I thought it would be based off of the map. It's got a beautiful bridge leading into it too.

This should give you some scope, Considering The areas themselves don't have loading screens. It's pretty insane.

Size isn't important its how you use it. No pun intended okay it was a little intended. The size of the game's land mass isn't as important as how it utilized. What is there to do in said landmass? What is the feel of the world while in it? Does it entertain? i have played so pretty vast old school rpgs that were just boring and smaller ones that were just addictive. i will always take the addictive over the boring regardless of size.
I am in no way implying the the Witcher 3 failed to make a good game I am only saying how big it is really isn't as important as some people are making it.

I for one agree. However, its exciting to have our cake and eat it too considering so many hands-on-youtubers and reviewers have praised the CONTENT of the large world we're about to dive into. We'll find out if that is in fact true in due time.
