What I don't think that makes sense is the quest markers on the compass, but sometimes are a need. What trully makes NO sense at all is having undiscovered places showing in your compass.
It's just a compass, not a cool-place-sensor. I discover things that Can't be seen in any point of view around me. It's not that they are too far to be drawn, they may be completely hidden behind a wall rock or cliff.
I want to feel the need of actually explore the beautiful land, but I get spoiled 100% of the time

I'm sure there was someone who said it could be disabled in the .ini
