POI icons and quest items visibility issue

[Bullett00th]

The ability to turn off POI icons is a blessing, I love my HUD with as little clutter as possible.

However some things are borderline impossible to detect without an icon above them, like documents looking like an ordinary piece of paper on a table.

Maybe give them a little highlight as an option?

If you move your crosshair over the note when you're close enough, it get's yellow border, indicating you can pick it up.

Also, without any icons, it is possible to do quests just fine. Only the time to look for quest items increases (read mission info from Log, that helps much).

When i completed my game way back, there were no spoon feeding icons to say: go through that door or pick up this item. Had to use my brain and think for myself to get the missions done, which i loved.

yes but I have to be right in front of said paper to know it's an interactive item.

I read all logs and mission objectives, and using your brain isn't of much help when the objective is 'find documents in the bunker' and you've ran through the bunker 5 times already.

Sure I can hug every single table, wall, desk, chair, box and other object that may or may not hold the needed item, but that is no fun, especially seeing as the rooms don't really stand out from one another.

Any specific mission you're talking about? Since there aren't many missions where you need to find notes within the bunker. Another Castle is one such mission that came to my mind.

Saltholmen Naval Base Bunker is relatively small compared to the other bunkers found in the game.

Given that you're still in Archipelago region or just out of it with your missions, i'm not going to tell which are the three most extensive bunkers in game, where it is very easy to loose your direction and get lost. It did happen to me when i started with GZ though. Now, i've memorized all bunker layouts and don't get lost in them.
