Map

Can you get a map in this game

[fardauscharles]

Is pretty hard navigating without a map. If there is not a map, I hope it gets added into the game.

You can't. There is no map. You are supposed to explore those levels and try finding the way, shortcuts, secrets, e.t.c. on your own (with advice from some NPCs). Like Dark Souls maybe. Basically, from what I got, Peri is the experience of taking a bus to the part of the city you've never been in and staying to explore but as a videogame. Like urbexing.

Yeah but at least in dark souls, the game was pretty good at communicating where you are supposed to go. I never got lost as it was easy to memorise locations. Also In dark souls locations looked diverse and linear. It was pretty easy to follow the path the developer had set up. In Peripeteia every locations have the same colour and structure. It is hard to distinguish from place to place.

the last time they added any hints as to where you are, or supposed to go, the community rebelled and demanded the hints be removed, and they were.

Hints in an immersive sim take away from the immersive sim experience

considering how vertical the levels are you'd need a deus ex human revolution style multi-layered map to do the game justice

I didn't have as much of this problem, but good old Pen & Paper still works

Skill Issue

[freakyskull516]

while a full metroid prime style one would hurt this game, a general map of the area would be nice so that we can know the general direction of the objective
i was able to trust in the map design and get herded to the objectives but a lot of players dont know how to read map design ques or extrapolate developer intent very well and im a morrowind enjoyer so something to point them to at least head a certain direction would be a good idea

Every game should have a map like thief were you enter an area that isn't written on the map and your character just writes on it in big bold letters "WHERE AM I??"

so do endless corridors. I've already found multiple tunnels/bridges where you can just walk straight forever without any hint of if you're making progress.

you are making progress: you've found out that these are the wrong ways to go.

Can some please give more functions to map in Thief to make it more like a PDF editor/Cad like so I can draw my own map, thanks.
