City Maps

[ArmedGhost-]

is there any way to look at maps of cities?

Going to lose my mind trying to find vendors.

8 year development cycle was not long enough for them to do maps for the city locations.

[Judah Warrior]

nope it's unreal bro i mean no city map layouts???

[Clail]

Unfortunately no. Best you can do is use kiosks and signs to see what part of town a particular store is in

for every legitimate complaint I see, I also see "mods will fix this"

The funny thing is there is a kiosk in one of the cities early in the game. I came across it randomly running around a city in the first few days of the game. I was a little lost, but not concerned because my goal was to just run around. Low and behold I come upon this kiosk. It is not a vendor kiosk for selling your gots. It was a city information kiosk! I was like cool, now this is a nice touch. So I hit E and open it up, and there is a list of all the main businesses. I thought each business was a url to take you to the map. Nope, nothing. So they took the time to make this interactive city information kiosk, and went so far as to list the businesses, but no map. Crazy!

I understand and pissed no map for the city either. I wasted so much time wandering. Also seems like quest markers are off

[PixieMoonMagic]

Hopefully they add city maps at some point in the future... for now it's down to exploration and memorization if you're playing with the vanilla version.

The kiosks are still kind of useful. Until you learn where everything is, it's handy to be able to check them to see what district the place you are looking for is. I used them a bunch of times for that.

But I agree that is crazy as all get-out that there's no actual map at the kiosks.

The fact that there's no map function at all in this game is wack. It's not because a bunch of it is procedurally generated....Daggerfall was released by the same company 30 years ago, and they did 3d maps for all locations, even the procedurally generated interior locations.

Stop being an NPC and simply think, look around for signs, memorize the places, you dont need a map.

I suspect there is a technical or design issue with maps. Here is my suggestion for a mod.

Every city has an info board with a list of key buildings. Interacting with that will add 'find' missions for all those buildings. Then you have a new mission tab you can use for locate mission. Kind of like how you can get directions from your iPhone.

So select tab, have list of cities, open city and have list of buildings, activate mission for building you want.

Yeah. I found this out. It will become easier once I've wondered around each city enough times. Just didn't know if there was map already implemented that I didn't know about.

Thanks for the info, tho.
