Perhaps for you, that's half the fun, but for me it's none of the fun. There's a huge difference between exploring and roaming around a map trying to find something or somplace you've already 'explored'...

I would much rather have either better hints during the quest, and the quest log showing those better hints, or a marker of some kind directing the player. I don't necessarily wnt my hand held, but I do want better clues and visual clues as well as to where I need to go...

That is very smug to say but the problem is that for many quests if you miss a text when you first get the quest it is IMPOSSIBLE to have the clue repeated. If you go back to the quest giver he will not repeat the quest. if you check your quest book it is not there.

So while quest givers and quest targets should not be on the map - as you find them then having them marked on the map is (imho) hardly a cheat. It is (IMHO) a short cut to you writing down everything you see (or can't see because the text is not properly formatted).

This also is my only complaint not knowing how to get where or how to find a certain area for a quest.

The maps should at the least show the vendors, quest locations and names of places.

I spent over a hour just sailing in my little boat to find Redbeard's place and still haven't found it. I would keep opening my world map of that area and check on where I was every so often.

I am all for exploring but it can and does get frustrating spending half your playing time trying to find something, someone, or some place.

Still great game but no game is perfect and I just think more should have gone into the maps especially the mini-map which really is not very usefull.
