ShadowscaleB1980 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I just got my map and there is this strange red cross in midle of lake, anyone know what that is ? could be locations of those star-sign stones that give you skill bonuses...or they could be markers for where dragons can be found.

gahnzz Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's paper.I wanted, and basically ordered, cloth.See the problem there?Unfortunately, this is the fault of journalists and the fans wanting to read something into what was said. From the start, Beth has been saying a "burlap-style map" which doesn't say cloth or made of burlap. It's a paper map printed on heavy stock paper with a texture treatment to make it feel "burlap-ish." I was in the same camp - when I pre-ordered I heard "cloth" even though they didn't say that. That's on me. However, in all things considered - I'm not paying $60.00 for the map. I'm paying $60.00 for the game. Besides, there will be copius online maps with updated annotations, etc. And if you were thinking of framing it or something, it's still a very attractive map.

Sheralynn Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 http://members.home.nl/gunslinger/skyrimmap.jpg Inside the pc box is a very cool map , not just your plain thin paper, but a real quality sort that feels like parchment.size is 67 x 48 cm So, til fryday i can study the map ;)regards Im not very impressed with the map. It looks rather bland an well.. childish tbh. Real old maps are often very beautiful, detailed and rich - illustrated with things like zodiac signs, mythical creatures, angels and so on. They go the extra mile to get good quality paper but then print it with such a mediocre drawing. I don't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuna Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 ye its kinda plain, not much on it except map and some red crosses.

natelovesyou Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 How can we be so sure though? 11/11/11 hasn't even come yet, how can we really know what the preorder map is? It sounds like we're just talking about the one that's folded up and placed inside the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
