I'm not sure how this is surprising anyone at all, honestly.

The problem (but not for Bethesda) is that we are so used to mods that we seem to forget how absolutely shite a lot of their vanilla UI is. Has everybody forgotten the Skyrim map? Coz I sure as shit have not.
Did they somehow miraculously fix it all in Fallout 4? Genuine question, I kinda gave up on them after Skyrim.

The fallout 4 map is basically the same as the fallout 3 and new vegas map, and now that I think about it oblivion. So this is verry much a two steps forward one step back situation.

100% agreed! It's worthless I've spent some time trying to protect myself to the map and it's nigh -unto impossible.

Stunning oversight, and I have no idea how the play-testers didn't say "nope! Do something different!"

Its definitely strange not having a map but ill be honest i havent really needed one. Still should be in the game though

[–] Concept1037@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven’t really needed one myself but it’s more that I miss the opportunity to plan ahead where I’m going.

[–] Zoot_@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

For sure. Stupid it doesnt exist.

The one place I need a map is the confusing ass labyrinths that are the dungeons. My only complaint about the gameplay so far is the dungeon layouts are nonsensical and confusing. I actually have to use the scanner to find a way through everything.
