How to find pinned side quests? (+ other thoughts on the UI)

[ohioguyo]

I have a side quest for a Salt-Crusted Grave offering I want to track down and complete, and selected 'Pin' on its entry in the list of quests in order to find it; this shows a window telling you to "leave an offering at the grave" but doesn't seem to actually drop a pin for it on the map, and the icons for this and other grave quests aren't appearing anywhere on the map that I can see. Is there a way to make quest goals show up as tracked on the map and compass?

Here are a few thoughts on the UI after playing awhile (none of them urgent but could be cool to consider as future enhancements):

The art and atmosphere are so immersive that it'd be cool to have a hotkey that hides all UI elements for awhile. The 'photo mode' is close to this but with some UI showing, would be neat to experience a chill scenic walk or glide through some of the gardens with no UI elements.

The ingame compass display at the top works well overall, but it's sometimes a bit hard to orient where nearby things are. For example when wanting to quickly run to the nearest gate or spring, this won't appear on the compass even if fairly close by; other gates or locations pined on the map will show up on the compass without indication that they might be quite far away, sometimes making you mistakenly run towards them not realizing what the compass icon is guiding you to.

I don't know what the optimal solution is, but it might help to have distant pinned locations show up on the compass in a fainter color with a small pin icon beneath them, so you'd intutively know its a distant location you'd pinned earlier. Nearby known locations like a Gate could show up on the compass in a brighter color without a pin, so you'll stay intuitively aware of where nearby locations are oriented without having to pop out to the map screen and pin them manually. Some UIs show distance in meters to an objective which could be an option too, though idk if that'd feel more immersion-breaking.

Lastly it could be a nice QoL feature to have a button on the map screen that clears all pins, and possibly an option to let the game pause when consulting the map screen, for those times when you're frantically plotting a course to avoid dying from thirst lol. Anyway, just a few thoughts & enjoying this game a lot so far!

The salt crusted grave I am still looking for also. I have just started putting a grave marker on all the ones I find, till I find it.

Yeah, the graves are a pain. Seems like the marker for them disappears once the morning arrives, and good luck finding them again.

You can put your own custom markers up as well...

Really sorry for the trouble! I believe those grave quests *should* be pinnable. There is probably a bug involved here, which we are investigating.

Thanks so much for the rest of this feedback! I've noted it down for review.
