Too true, though I think the place could use a bit more in defenses considering the following: 1) How dangerous Skyrim is by creatures alone, especially giants and trolls. Honestly, any area that is frequently attacked by troll and giants, I am surprised we don't see wall surround settlements. 2) How close it is to the rebel capital and how it can be used as a staging ground by the Imperials. If not a fallback position for the Stormcloaks in case Winterhold is taken. 3) They are mining one of the most valuable materials being mined, Malachite, which is just below Ebony and Starlite in value. They can afford to build walls just to keep bandits from taking such valuable money-making mine. But it is still a vast improvement compared to cannon and I hope you keep up the great work.
I would agree if it was any other fantasy that is not filled with monsters and abnormally aggressive wildlife that can easily kill and eat people and live near said people, squads of the undead, giants that can easily turn hostile and raid nearby settlements, and if it did not fill like 75% of the population in Skyrim are either bandits, necromancers, vampires, or evil cults.
Still, what you did is amazing and I can't wait for you to release the mod as it is well done.
Thing is if Skyrim is actually like that you couldn't live in it. You can't wall all the farms that feed the people. Everything ingame is supposed to be far less common than it appears. We know this from stuff like the Nords mentioning how uncommon magic is even though it appears to be really common and easy to learn to the player.
