You are Here ==>

No!

There will be large maps. 
There will not be minimaps.
There will also be no <you are here> arrows with the map centered on it.

Let me figure out where I am.
Let me get lost.
Let me swear a blue streak when I find a massive metal node but no clue where I am and how to get back.

  • ok then..... back away slowly

    This could be a very interesting mechanic that classes like rangers as well as those with the cartography skill would make excellent pathfinders - While anyone could muck about and will eventually find the fastest way from point A to point B Pathfinders would have more details on their maps and know which series of passes and paths would connect the two points efficiently.

  • I would have mentioned it long before but... it's just a thing you run across in every game it.. you just don't notice it there.

    Took me staring at a map for several days while watching for event spawns for it to bring a lightbulb.

    You can't get lost if some magical mark on the map shows you right where you are.
