Will we have the dreaded glowy path leading us to quest objectives or will we be given the clues to figure out the quest on our own?

the game will actually provide a horse for you to jump on that brings you to the quest location. when you arrive there all you have to do is type "help" and the character will complete the quest for you while you go off and make a sandwich or something.

There's gotta be a happy medium between what we got in Oblivion onward and the infamous Puzzle Cube in Morrowind... There has to be.

Well that will certainly be a time saver.

Well it doesn't glow. They are going old school on this one. It's highly detailed bread crumbs. Really I think it's a huge step forward for the genre.

To be fair, Oblivion and Skyrim were extremely handholding, I don't expect this to be as bad.

seems ligit

I don't mind if a MMO wants to provide hand holding for quests (a lot of people like this kind of feature after all), but developers have gotten so lazy that they won't give you the info and clues so you can figure it out yourself if you want to.
