I don't know how DD1 compares to Skyrim in terms of size but they've said DD2's game world will be about four times larger than the one in the first game.
There's no exact meassurements
The original Dragon's Dogma did not include the Bitterblack Isle megadungeon added by the Dark Arisen expansion, and I expect that any such purely-optional, high-level megadungeon would similarly be an expansion or DLC for Dragon's Dogma II. What I do hope for, in regard to the base game DDII, is for the dungeons in general to be larger, to enhance exploration. The original game did well with the resources available to the development team, but they were hampered in various ways by budget limitations from fully implementing their original vision for the game.
And to have some sort of coherent storyline, not like: I did some stuff to meet the Duke, I met the Duke, here's some sort of cult, I found them, oh look a dragon, now I'm god!

I'm actually completely fine with there being a barebones main plot; if anything I'd like the side quests to be disentangled from the main plot further so you don't need to scour the whole fucking world 7 times or follow a walkthrough to avoid missing them like you did in DD or Elden Ring. Those quests were some of the coolest parts of the first game and it's a shame how many people saw basically none of them because they'd already explored an area they take place in in a previous chapter or whatever. Connecting whether or not some bandits want you to to go deal with some rival bandits or meeting a witch in some illusory woods to having killed some totally unrelated monster is dumb. Just open that shit up from the begining and if it's high level and spanks me I'll come back later or struggle through on my own pace.

If there's anything like this in the game, I suspect it will be something like DMC5 - in some floors you can see the other players in the distance, in some floors you're separate but working towards the same end-goal (and one player can enact a change in another player's section of the floor) and in a few floors you actually have joint jolly cooperation
Are you sure they were actual players?
No shit, but it is part of OG Dragon's Dogma, you autistic fuck. My point is I want something like it in DD2's base game rather than it appearing as an expansion.
That's strider innit
Hope there's a ninja vocation...
If they end up including Ninja, i could see it being the hybrid Mage/Thief class, weapon being either katanas or kurasigama, and it would be able to use Ninpo.
