since Forgotten Gods released the world map is divided into two seperate maps and breaks all immersion the second i look at it. please keep one united world in the future even if you have to change the whole world map I personally dont care since im not a fan of it either but please dont divide up the dlc into separate…other worlds its so unappealing.
OMG someone in the government please fix the US map. Having to look at Alaska and Hawaii in those inserts is so immersion breaking. Please make all future maps full globes.
Sure, lets ditch in the gutter a beautiful handcrafted piece of art depicting a fantasy world and adding to the game immersion element and instead have just a listing of locations
Guys what im saying is that the Feel of the world map is disjointed and for me the feel of the world is kinda gone. It feels like its part of some weird Marvel crossover shenanigan and most of all it just feels lazy. the world map itself is huge and empty and i could see it being filled in as the dlc grew out but just having another map patched in on top makes me cringe so hard i almost have to stop playing the game. no joke.
I know what you meant. It’s still completely stupid. What you are seeing in the normal map isn’t a map of the whole world. It’s just one small corner of Cairn, and Forgotten Gods takes place in some different far off corner. They aren’t going to zoom the map out to a global scale and join the pieces up just to make you feel better.
The current map bother me as well. I would have preferred if they had given us an option to toggle between “Cairn” and “Korvan Basin”
But I know even small UI changes are probably PITA so it kinda makes sense why they did what they did. It doesn’t feel like a deal breaker to me personally.
Sounds like a mental limitation then. I’m not seeing anything wrong with their approach and I sure shit don’t see how it in any way equals “lazy”.
Like Zantai said this particular place is located quite a distance away (plus desert does not fit into the base map area) so I have to agree with the decision to make it an insert in this instance rather than wasting resources not only having to ZOOM the map out to a greater distance but also filling it all in with what would otherwise be empty space.
Zantai has mentioned more than once over the years, their artists already work their fingers to the bone as it is, enough so that they don’t warrant being called lazy by someone who has no idea what they do.
I know it couldn’t be a whole globe and I know that it is not large enough and i get that its on another part of the world. I also understand the style layout wise. I’m sure it will look better as more DLC is added but for right now it makes my eyes bleed and really killed immersion for ME personally. I feel like this might have worked better if the map looked like paper and the extra map was like pinned on top like parchment, at least then the my head could kinda roleplay the layout but as is its just ugly. i skadoodle a basic idea of what i just ment. im not a graphics guy and i don’t know if that’s better but at least my head would believe that immersively. feel free to murder my 2 minute PS sketch.
