Their is this new invention called a map

[jojobe]

It would be nice if the map showed us where the end mission is. I have no idea where these cities are in this game.

there's this thing called exploration, just do it and you'll find everything after some time, plus cities and other major points of interest can be seen on the overworld from miles away and if you hover over them their name get's shown as well ;)

Its frustrating not knowing where your going. Some people are cool with the game not having that corrected yet you can see an attempt at a map, Im hoping that they do not stop because the game needs one because the map is quite large. The second issue is that its too easy to hit towns people, id rather that option have a dialogue do you want to attack this towns person... they stand right on top of you and you cant avoid hitting them.

You've got the rough direction for the nearest town early on. After that it's just a question of exploring, which you'll usually end up doing anyway.

You can turn off attacking neutrals, think it's in the strategy screen (on your character sheet. Accessible from the blue feather in the bottom right if you can't find it).

Once you get yourself a binoculars or telescope, you can zoom out and move your screen. You may need cast magic map first if it isn't the overworld.

So when you boot the game up, there's this blurb that pops up mentioning the game's official discord, official wiki as well as patch notes. If you click the one for the wiki there's a World Map on there you can click on that will pull up the map for you.

This is that map:

Neither of these is an issue.

There are thousands of games that don't have waypoints or explicit world maps, that expect you to explore and form a mental map of your own. If you need waypoints, there will be guides, and there will be playermade maps people make to circumvent the exploration part.

Elin is squarely in that category. It also has a relatively small map (as in only a few towns) so it's not difficult or time-consuming in the least to start finding them.

Similar to how quests work - as in not explicitly explaining exactly how to get an item they're asking for - you're expected to explore the game's world and systems and figure it out for yourself.

And honestly? Elin does it better than most. You have a small-ish map and a wide range of vision baseline, you're told where the most important city is out the gate (Mysillia in the direct south-east of the starting Meadow), and you very quickly learn that craftables feed into one another (the workbench > carpenter's > tinker's table > etc. etc. etc.)

thank you for the map. Do you know how to remove the attack option from towns people. I looked in the game option i only saw one for party member holding down the shift button,

V key for the character sheet
-> strategy
-> tick the "details" box
-> tick the "don't auto-combat neutral NPCs" box
-> profit

ill give it a go...the towns people of my game thank you

[Cocytus]

yea, that one is put into a weird place, same as the auto-pickup of fished stuff, no clue why it's under strategy (and hidden under a by default unchecked detail box) but yea, that option definitely is a blessing overall^^

it knowledge one... the tutorial can only do so much it does not say every item of the
game specifically and it require delving. Whats helped is the lets play online tutorials to show you were everything is extended.

Follow the roads to towns, it's not rocket science.
