Why is this game so small 5.5 odd gig's?
That is impressively small by today's standards.

console port thats why.

Yeah console + only dx9....
Hang on wasnt there someone who said yesterday this game is pushing the envolope of gaming today?
Oblivion is 5.57 gigs & presumably Skyrim texture sizes are much bigger.
I suspect its caused by heavy reusing of the same objects. If cleverly done then nobody notices. e.g. Instead of having 5x tree models you have 20x branch models and build the trees on the fly with a random algo.
Impressive though...
Not very high resolution textures. Character creation way more advanced then it was back then. Lots and lots of trees and reused obects. Properly compressed audio?
Hopefully Bethesda release a 10GB texture pack
...maybe with the GOTY edition
I just opened mine and started installing and first thing I said was "wtf, this game is tiny"
I would guess it's due to the lack of high res textures to accommodate the 7yr old consoles. Pity though, they should really have bumped things up on PC.
