My thoughts on maps

I think that maps can be very useful in certain circumstances. For instance, when you get your first boat or airship. You might not know the lay of the land just yet and that map can be very useful. I don’t know about you all but the first time I got in the airship the first time I played a RPG, I flew around crazy just playing with the controls. If I hadn’t had a map, I would have been completely lost.

RE: My thoughts on maps

maps are good, but they have to interact to provide the level of knowledge that we have of maps in the real world (cf. FFVII where the cursor cycled through known locations instead of just free roaming).

It would also be cool if you could link notes to the maps in RPG's - 'got mission to find lead chicken here..' so you dont have to remeber so much stuff

RE: My thoughts on maps

You can do that in Neverwinter Nights, although then you're not dealing with a World Map...
