I've been loving the default map in the game. Its kinda like going back to the days Bethesda would write out navigation instructions in the quest and let the player use their brain to figure out where to go instead of marking it with a gigantic exclamation mark.

Yeah Morrowind was great for that. Felt more old school RPG where you actually had to explore to complete quests.

i actually loved needing to remember where stores are, makes me feel like im actually there as a dumbass tourist

What are you talking about? You don't need to listen to a damn word anyone says. Just follow the waypoints, fast travel to everything. The game is a menu navigation simulator.

Yeah, overall I'm enjoying the game but the star map does suck.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's wild that between games like NMS, EVE, Elite, even Satisfactory, there are great examples of what Bethesda should've done, but for whatever reason didn't. There's so much basic stuff that's just...missing. I can only hope it's all eventually modded in so players can have a more complete experience.

Just like Skyrim.. Bethesda needs to go tbh

[–] ech@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Why? What would their dissolution do for the industry? Making a bad or mediocre game isn't really that big of a deal. They can make as many games as they want, as far as I'm concerned. The bad ones can just be ignored, and any good ones can be picked up.

The star map? Aren't the complains about the planets maps? I don't see what are the issues with the star map .

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me it's the star map and the lack of local map.

The planet maps are fine.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Well with planet map I actually meant the local map, sorry for the confussion.

Thanks @AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world that's exactly what I needed! I really miss mini maps. Hopefully they will add that soon to the game itself.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I needed something as well so I'm glad Map Genie map some maps!

[–] M137@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

There will surely be mods for that soon. I doubt they'll add one officially. One good thing about Bethesda games is that basically everything people want can and will become mods.

It's kinda wild seeing people complain about Skyrim's maps being too detailed and then seeing this thread.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

People just like to complain. It's in our nature.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

cant be as bad as oblivion, that map is so hard to find towns i need to go to
