i would like to see something like this but i dont want them to have to take anything out of the game for this. :intergalactic: :toughninja: :intergalactic:

Not excessively so, but yeah, sure.



Then it would be the same dull map in different colors. Meaning it would still be dull, and the effort of changing the colors would be a complete waste of time that could have somehow actually improved the game or added something useful. :shrug:

The Morrowind map was awesome.
They should go back to something like that.

Yes, I know. But this "birds eye view" could - and should - also look like the (virtual) view of your player-character, when looking on a "real" map, which was painted / drawn by a map-artist / manufacterer of the game world (and not of a developer of modern computer games). :rolleyes:
Imagine the feel of a map which is taken out of your characters pocket, unfolded (with a quick animation; at least in first person) before your eyes and then zoomed to a level in which it fully covers the whole screen ... and you still have the feel of an actual, paper-like hand-drawn map of it. Wouldn't this be something completely different and much more immersive ?



I meant, if you use such an map (like the one for Oblivion) before you even start playing the game (or maybe in between some longer playing-sessions).

I do not think the Oblivion map looks dull and I prefer it to the example given. I did use a color map mod as well. To the previous poster, no it wouldn't particularly be "immersive" to me at all. Eyes don't zoom in either, though I can understand the desire to see such a map in an artistic sense.

I'm excited to see Skyrim's detailed world map.

There will be aerial view map I heard, but I want it so you can't see all the stuff at the beggining of the game... Though, im not sure how you would do that with an aerial view map... (Not like fable 3's, a real aerial view, like seeing the real mountains and lakes, and etc...)

Though, I guess, if you have ome magical map that allows you to see the entire landscape of Skyrim from an aerial view, why should you not be able to see everything from the beggining of the game...

Yes, they do (in a figuratve sense, since it all happens in your mind) ! You just have to put your face nearer to the map, or vice versa - it's the same effect. :teehee:

Thats what Im assuming it is...

I want it like morrowinds in color with little places detailed on it that was fun because I actually used it to find stuff....not to mention I like color..
