Game needs a mini-map

[Barden]

I know the developers intentionally did not include a mini-map, but for me it's definitely annoying not having one. Am I alone in this experience?

[Azjaran]

a normal map or like an overlay map would help me more then just a mini-map. also markers or completion indicators for the overworld map would also be helpful

[ACViper]

A mini map and markers for the overworld would be great. A bit annoying to have to open and close the map while exploring

[Barden]

Maybe there will be a mod that adds a map and/or mini-map.

I don't care if it's a map in a menu, a mini map, or a map printed on Esquie's butt, but this game desperately needs one.

lol
Yep, I missed a minimap too, even a overlay would be fine. I know that they wanted it clean, but they could put a button to enable for those that can't find anything(me).

It's fine without minimap, it forces you to explore a bit

You are entitled to your opinion, but I find the lack of a map/mini-map unduly annoying and a bad decision made by the developers.

You're not alone. IMO a blunder by the devs.

Yup. Map and mini-map are obligatory here.
And it's also just a common sense. Now we have not an Expedition that carefully explores unknown lands, taking notes, marking and categorizing everything (and drawing maps of course) but a whole party of LEEEEROY JENKINSes.

Exactly. How did people survive in older RPGs with no maps and limited internet lol.

It's honestly so easy to move around, a map isn't needed. Follow the lanterns/lit up paths for main objectives, follow dark/hidden paths for treasures and optional bosses.

Imagine that, a game where you actually need to use your brain for once.

It's a design choice. And one that's very welcomed.

I don't want a mini map. I love the feeling of finding hidden paths

[Kangaxx]

Any map please. Both ideally.

[Lexyvil]

I'm glad the game has no maps inside the regions, it really makes you absorb the scenery more, and also makes you rely on landmarks to know where you've been. It's a design decision I stand by. I'm sure there will a way to mod in one though for those who want one.

agree

Maybe I'm just unusually good at mental mapping (unlikely though), but I never felt like I NEEDED a map. The critical path is usually well telegraphed, and the secret paths are fun to find (and would be spoiled by a map). Granted, Ancient Sanctuary can be confusing, but that's the whole gimmick of that area, it's like Lost Woods in Zelda.

If there was a mini-map or an overlay map that's what you'd be staring at for the whole game instead of enjoying the beautiful vistas and exploration.
