Newbiezilla asked me to post this here... I personally go with Nautical points. QUOTE Take this thread as a "What should Oblivion have been" or "What can TES V be." The outcome is probably the exact same anyway Anyway, we can assess numbers of people who are in favour of the compass with this thread. We can find out what people want done with it, or wish was done with it. I'll deal with my attitudes to each of the poll options - I don't require anyone else to do this, so don't feel obligated. I liked it. it should stayI disagree with this one, as I felt it was added to fit into a larger audience, so people would have the incentive to play on if they weren't hardcore gamers. People who had friends with this game would play it for maybe half an hour, and if they knew what they were doing, and not getting frustrated like they might have done if they were playing Morrowind in same friends house, and decided against buying it. I personally played Morrowind over in a friends house before buying the game, and I bought it for exactly the opposite reason - I felt I could explore anywhere and have fun. I hated it, it should goI'd like the game without the compass for sure. Though I know they felt that it was obligatory because the fact that NPCs went on their schedules. To me, it was unrealistic having the ability to have a compass detect people like that. I say no to compass detecting people, anyway, personally. Locations I can deal with, not people. Nautical pointsYou have a map, in game and in real life, so I felt that Nautical points compass would be ok as a just when you get directions to have an on screen representation to confirm you are going the right way. Limited range This could work quite well, for instance at Cheydinhal you will not see something at Anvil being pointed out to you... I think a set paramater could work quite well here. SlidersMy problem with sliders is I feel we shouldn't have to adjust sliders to accomodate us. I don't like messing with the difficulty slider, as I should feel i'm going into a world, not tweaking the world. Though i'm open to counter points on that. A slider for on or off, thats fine, i'd end up switching it off assuming nautical wasn't an option. SummaryI guess you could say i'm mixed in my opinions. I guess you could say at the moment i'd go with Nautical (or compass points) This post has been edited by Pushtrak: Jul 31 2006, 11:18 AM

i said the compass should stay because it would be impossible 4 light gamers, like me, to get any where in the game. it would just take to long.

I like it. It shows me all the quest targets and if I'm near them or not.

Huh? Anyways, no one has to look at it at all during quests. I do only if I can't get where I'm supposed to be going.

I thought you meant in the armed services...we used to call that going short. As in short tour of duty. I use the compass all the time too. Except with the cities I really know the way between. I'm not Rane. I just didn't get what that was supposed to mean. Ummm... oh boy, a moderator's going to get pissed at me now!

QUOTE(Ibis @ Aug 11 2006, 04:20 PM) No no, if they'll be pissed with anyone it'll be me for not reading the post slow enough to see who it was from. I used to be in the USAF and was just happy for Rane noticing his Siggy. Sorry about that but if you stick around long enough you'll find out that I am famous for mixing people up and Rane is one of the primary ones I do that with. OHH NOO, he is gonna be pissed at me now.
(Pssst-Perhaps we could both delete and pretend it never happened hehehe)
How? Oh, boy, another person they'll be pissed at! I have hijacked this thread with that one post, you see. Kind of... oh boy, anyway!

I would like it if it only showed N,W,S,E. I don't like how it shows where the target is as soon as you get the quest added to your journal. or when it shows you where the people that you need to ask for dierctions are. I think that it only shows you where the target is after you ask someone for directions.

I would have liked the compass a lot better if it only showed where NPC's are, but when the game is constantly telling you where to go, or what to do, then it got a wee bit annoying, same with the journal pop-ups. Beth should have included an option in the options menu (obviously ) to switch it on or off at the player's discretion.
