Oh my God..... You\'re REALLY starting to freak me out! Look, this is a GAME, NOT REAL LIFE! Anyway, I COULD have a GPS screen available, as they do make portable versions. EVERY other game I have EVER played(20 years of PC gaming) there was a map available(of some kind), and all having no map does is make me stay to know paths, as I said in other post, \"...I almost gave up my 1st character when ---I got lost, but then I found the map border, and followed that. Otherwise, I\'dve just given up, and made new character---.\"
Not having a map just makes it VERY unlikely that Ill do much travelling, unless I can keep known areas in sight, or it\'s almost impossible to get lost(not leaving path/road for example). Otherwise, Ill be spending more time learning the area(so I can find more things to kill/quests to complete) than actually using/trainging skills need to do them. I honestly feel it\'s awful difficult to put all that on the player, \"Hey wanna know where you\'re at? Make you own map!\" Of course, cartography skill may be implemented, but you\'ll need people who will take the time to do all that travelling, and the note/screenshot taking... It\'s gonna mostly be the people who\'ve been around a long time, and done a lot of the quests already, not very many new players at all, who will be the mapmakers.
MMMmmmk...I have not even played the game for one second...and I am just about to start the download. But as a RolePlayer for 7 or so years I must inform you of this. From what I have read this is not a \"game\" per-say it is a RolePlay Story-line put into a game simulator. And let me ask you something. Your probably an adult have a car hell maybe even kids and a nice little family. But I ask this. When you were FIRST born or first set on your own. Did you know how to get from point A to point B? No you didn\'t why? Because you were in-experienced. Roleplay is this...it IS real life in a sense. Your character in the RP IS REALLY living...and is really doing all this. If you cannot dive itno your imagination and fantasy then well....learn to be a kid again ya know? Get that edge back so you can fantasize about slaying dragons and fighting evil paladins and the such. To lose it is a bad thing my friend. Also...this is medieval GPS was just recently invented on a mass-scale =p
Just my look on it though. Games that have mini-maps are NOT a \"rolepplaying\" community if you will. Your character is supposed to actually act like a person. Not like say.... Ragnarok Online where you go around and ask people for stuff anf talk about the president of the US cause guess what? THERE IS NOT ONE in this game. n_n again just my opinion dun eat meh for it @_@
