They said there was some technical issue they couldn't solve.

It was decided to remove the map, so the programmers could focus on other features.
As the map was not compatible with the later levels, and not as good as had hoped.

What features did the programmers focus on that ended up in the game?

As the preist keeps a journal, wouldn't it be prudent of him to at least draw a crude map of where he was so he could find his way back to town?

A simpler map that just outlines the area without inticate details would be much appreciated.

That was basically what the older maps were in games like Hexen, System Shock, etc.

"Crossplatform multiplayer, dynamic water freezing and melting, spell improvements, character lighting improvements, puzzle fixes are some of the things done by the engineer who made the map system, instead of expanding on it."

But, since those features are in the game now, is it possible to ask said engineer to revisit the map?

Apologies for the necro, I came across this thread whilst searching for reasons this game doesn't include a map.

Unless this game was designed, managed, developed, and published by this "engineer", the choice to not include a map is management related.

With that said, where the f*** is the map!

There is no map and never will be so either get used to it or move to another game. i for one don't need a map and don't have a problem with it.

You have a problem with others wanting it though.

Even Build engine games had maps...

That being said I do enjoy enjoy the game, up until act 3 that seems like it was just pasted on to finish the game and get it over with.
