Didn't include values for the Portals quest, the Isle of Mists, The Painted World, The Mirror World or Vizima Palace, but altogether I'd be surprised if these added more than another 1km^2 of playable area. All(ish) maps come to around 41km^2 in total (with almost half of that water) and again the oft quoted 130+ km^2 is not relevant to anything. Witcher 3 Novigrad and Velen, ~ 11.5km^2 playable with the HoS expansion. You can realistically get lost in the woods (if not hopelessly, then to be unable to find a hidden location, even with a sketch map to follow). It feels bigger because the human settlements are small in contrast to the realistic Bohemian river valleys and forests. The world features are correctly scaled and spaced appropriately (there is some map surgery to bring three 'outlying' towns and villages into the map extent by being substituted for the positions of other settlements, and keeping the general alignment of the river above and below the seam). KC:D ~ 16km^2 to map extent - most of which is playable. Skyrim ~ <19km^2 in a roughly lozenge shape (like the Isle of White) - (but wildly fudged, with 'capital cities' being a dozen buildings, and a mountain being a fairly steep hill) - the oft quoted 37km^2 is the entire map including non playable areas.
