I know a couple of my friends who were really frustrated with the 'compass' in Skyrim. The games they usually play have minimaps on the screen so the compass had them wandering around forever and getting lost all the time. When I first started playing Skyrim I was really disappointed as well but I was playing with a console. Now that I playing on the PC I had hoped to find a mod for it only to find this forum. Seriously? Skyrim has been out for 2 years and no one has made a minimap mod? That seems a little silly. But, yeah, a minimap in Skyrim would be great.
