Yeah, of course. We'd need a journal where it's written down. I can see just having NPC's tell you directions, without having them written down would be an issue. Just, you know, actually give us the information required to play without the compass!

wall-o-text.

Punctuation, use it.

So i had never even heard of TES back when morrowind was released and i remember thinking it looked interesting but not really for me.Didnt have a computer for gaming or an xbox so i never got to give it a shot. When oblivion came out i was really pumped for it.i had seen pictures and video previews and read hands on previews and thought the game looked incredibly ambitioius and amazing. having never played en elder scrolls game i didnt really know what to expect but my hopes were high. i was hooked instantly after i escaped the sewers and began to wander. i had never felt the same sense of freedom and adventure that i got from oblivion before. it really blew me away and after maybe 500 hours i was done with it. i was now a huge fan of Tes but i didnt even think about getting into morrowind.it just looked too archaic and didnt interest me.i never thought id be able to get into it and that oblivion had probably spoiled it for me anyway, being a newer entry. when skyrim was announced and i saw the trailer i had huge expectations for the game and scoured the net for videos and preview stories constantly until it was released. and for the most part skyrim really delivered for me. it was beautiful, epic, deep and just so immersive.ive put roughly 400 hours in across a few characters and i have definitely enjoyed it but it didnt give me the same feel as oblivion.everything about skyrim seems better to me but i just remember loving the [censored] out of oblivion more.nostalgia maybe.anyway after the 400 hours i clocked in on skyrim i really has a good feel for the lore and it became a large and enjoyable aspect that i hadnt really appreciated before.i love collecting and reading those books. so after reading countless complaint threads about skyim and oblivion and hearing all the stories and reasons why the series was dying and how great morrowind was i finally had to check it out for myself. and it just felt like i was missing a huge part of the lore and that if i played morrowind i would have a better sense for the history and would at least be able to enjoy the story if not the archaic gameplay.. well ive been playing morrowind for the past two weeks and havent gone back to skyrim. im playing the original vanilla version of the game and it has honestly amazed me. this game came out so long ago and it is no doubt bigger and in many ways better than skyrim. i am blown away by the detail of everything and the atmosphere is incredible. the way you go about doing quests with actual descriptions of landmarks and directions is the most impressive to me and this needs to be brought back. screw the compass and world map from skyrim the morrowind system is leagues better and way more fun to explore. morrowind is actually challenging and rewarding in a way that oblivion and skyrim could never be. somehow the horrendous draw distance and constant fog even add layers of awesome atmosphere. after 80 hours in i feel that i have barely scratched the surface and i almost feel weird saying that i am enjoying this more than skyrim. this game has real soul and regardless of the combat mechanics it has definitely stood the test of time. i am impressed, and while i loved skyrim and oblivion, very dissapointed in the way the series has changed.
