Is Morrowind the one where you get quests by following directions on a note, or am I thinking of a different RPG?
I have severe ADHD; I need a waypoint marker or I can't play the game. If I have to follow instructions on a piece of paper, I'll just get lost, frustrated, and never find the place. I can't remember names of locations, and I forget something I read or heard literally seconds after reading/hearing it. It makes oldschool RPGs—and life in general—much harder than it needs to be.
Yeah that's the one, I'm right there with you, I probably put in several hundred hours as a kid, but never bothered to read past the tutorial, so I never made it far in the story. I have to imagine there are some good mods to help folks like us
Out of curiosity, what part do you consider the tutorial? The how to play part is only a few minutes at the beginning then it kinda just drops you in the world with a 'good luck fucko' and pat on the back. It took me years before I ever got around to the main story and that was mostly an afterthought for me at the time.
Exactly my experience, hahaha, yup, that's all I was thinking of
If it helps, there is an Interactive map
Yeah, and unfortunately I don't know of any mods to add quest markers. The community is generally very against things like quest markers because part of the feel of the game is being a bit lost as you talk to people and investigate areas. I never thought about that as an accessibility thing though makes sense. There are mods to get you places in a more specific way like Scouts Services, you could look up where you need to be and write it down, but that's not a marker so idk how well it would work for you. I'll let you know if I can find an actual solution but again may not exist due to how the community feels about markers
