Mini map

if any one play with turned off the mini map?

I usually turn off minimaps, cause they just make things a bit too easy to navigate and found myself staring more at a minimap.

So, by turning off the minimap, I find I am paying much more attention to the world in front of me, to learn where to go, and what leads where.

I turned it off soon as I began playing, whatever I'm missing out on doesn't matter, if I need to track an objective or need to see where I'm going then I can use the guide in game (draws a line you can follow). Honestly found the mini map distracting and turning it off means I just play the game with my eyes and not with the minimap. I will say though I wish the game had auto hide features since I'd love to have the spell slots and life bar fade out when not needed, but sadly you either keep it on or turn it off, but turning it off means you can't see your healthbar at all.

I do it and I recommend it. There is an ability to summon a guide of some sort that will show a floating trail to your destination anyways so the minimap is not needed

I have hud tracking icons off, Mini map off, damage numbers off and mount controls off.
There is probably other things I can turn off too to make the hud less cluttered, but those are the things I am not missing at least. I'd love an auto fade for health, spell icon and so on, but since you only have the option of keeping it visible or not seeing it at all, it's hard to know what settings would interfere too much.

I may turn it off simply because we can't lock it in place at North/up, it rotates around and I get lost anyway.

I did turn it off, along with some other HUD items It makes it a bit more interesting. Feels odd at first, but then you start to get used to it. Early on you dont have the guide spell, but you can figure things out with using the map in the book.

As for finding side quests, you can see them in the map, and set your waypoint to it to help head there.

I found a mod that allows you to (manually) enable and disable specific UI elements on-the-fly via keyboard shortcuts, so you could turn it off as soon as you're out of combat. https://www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/1293 . Not exactly what you wanted but it's a viable alternative.
