Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.
Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.
Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

A point for where ypu should go, put there by the quest giver, sure. And that is also what was done in gothic (if you owned a map).
A dot that always shows your current position, either magic or technology sufficiently advanced to be indistinquishable from magic. Gothic is not elderscrolls. Npc absolutely would tell you the location in an adequate way. This is exactly why i dont like automatic maps, it allows for lazy writing, which is immersion breaking. When done well it works extremly well.
