Or just level a bit. Rogue questline is pretty amusing. They definitely leaned into the mud actions with that one.

I really don’t understand why it’s even controversial.
They’ll go as far as only giving you one backpack slot because you only have one back, and making it so open flame light sources can’t go on your belt slot, but we’re all supposed to submit to the idea that the world would not have paper maps available.

I get it a little bit. It’s definitely different with EQs map that is very geometric and places a marker where you character is, but I think if you had a somewhat similar system but let players sell in game maps that were styled better / more thematic and didn’t have your personal location on it, it would be pretty cool.
I mean it would be more “immersive” and would basically be pulling up the EQAtlas or P99 map anyway. And ZOMG if it is dark you could even require the player to equip a CANDLE TO READ IT

First person in dungeons, cuz the camera controls were aids. i never understood how you could pull in first person and not get all kinds of shit trained on you from behind. Other than being a camera spinning spastic.

yeah i don’t think there should be a map that has a representation of the player’s location at all.
I could see rough maps being posters , planning tables, or props in game in quest areas. Maybe the inquistors track down rogue map makers? Lore-ing up reasons for map free existence wouldn't take that much

In game map just means second monitor is used for other things. I am going to use one, especially when the town is that huge. I am going to google where shit is constantly, I am going to try not to but when quests are go to these 5 locations…rather not spend my evening wondering around in spirals or grids until I find what I am looking for.
Oh and the watchman that worked when hailed were accurate enough to find where to go.

Maybe the game just isn’t FOR you bro!
But seriously, why do I spawn with some vague ass note if you can put ink on paper why not just draw a shitty map with directions!?

There should be in game maps you can get for quest rewards or someone gives you at the start of a quest, or just be able to buy some of them. But they’re just a static hand drawn looking map you can write notes on, no player location. If you want to know where you are and what direction you need to go, figure it out. That shit would absolutely exist in any fantasy world.

I mean the point is to send you into the city and use the guards and waypoints to start making a model of the layout in your head. Not to just beeline through a map like a smooth brain.

Guildmaster that can teach me how to launch literal molten lava from my fingertips and asshole, but somehow doesn't have the magic to draw a couple of simple lines.
Now THAT is immersion! Definitely not tedium for tedium's sake.

And yet, maps exist in the real world because "just memorizing everything" doesn't actually work.

The first time i go to a new city i use a map… then eventually i don’t have to. Should i just go around to local restaurants and ask bartenders for directions instead, otherwise I’m a ‘smooth brain’?
