I navigate in RL via a combination of landmark recognition and maps in my head (and am damn good at it), but in game I have a bit of trouble. The minimap makes cities much easier for me to figure out since I'm not pausing at every intersection to verify which road. It's also something that the friends I got to try the game complained bitterly about, so I figured it was a good thing to write about. <br /><br />Probably doesn't help my learning areas that I'm playing three toons, one in each covenant. Damn ESO, making all their classes fun in different ways and also making the world so big and pretty! :)Melfinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939155022202916671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448214614110834550.post-43884342575275931772015-03-27T13:18:28.550-04:002015-03-27T13:18:28.550-04:00I actually recommend playing without the minimap f...I actually recommend playing without the minimap for a bit. It is a change, and you'll be pulling up the map often. But I found that not having the minimap immersed you into the world more, made you navigate using landmarks and recognizing scenery. I thought removing the minimap actually made the game better.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.com
