Navigation in Embers Adrift is difficult enough - there's no minimap, our character's position is not displayed (except when we are close to one of the few landmarks) and apart from the planets (which are often obscured by clouds) there is no compass.
So far, so hardcore.
If the navigation is so difficult, then in my opinion at least the in-game map should contain basic information - but unfortunately this is all too often missing.
A good (bad?) example of this is the north-west of the Meadowlands, i.e. the whole region north of Brookhollow.
There is not a single road on the in-game map, even though there are many - and not just tracks, but thoroughfares to Highland Hills and Redshore, real roads with movement bonuses. Even a river crossing is completely missing.
It almost seems as if the map was created at a time when the exact course of the roads and paths was unknown - and once it was known, it was simply forgotten to be added to the map.
It would be nice if the maps were supplemented with this essential information.
It would also be nice if we could not only call up the map of the region we are currently in, but also maps of other regions.
Sometimes someone asks for pointers in /help - and it would be extremely helpful to be able to quickly call up the map of Newhaven Valley, even if you are not currently in the zone.
