demonheunet Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hey guys, I would love for someone to create a mod that will take out that annoying compass in the middle of the screen. The great thing about Morrowind was that I didn't know where I was going. I had to go by notes and clues which made the adventure all that much more enchanting (looking and searching everywhere). By having a a compass it tells you where you need to go, where you are....it ruins the experience for me compared to the old elderscrolls games. Is this possible??

daventry Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I thought Pete Hines said you can just Disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flavioli Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Esc > Settings > HUD Opacity > 0 This also removes everything else from view, including the health bars and indicators like "press E to use lever". They need to make it possible to see everything except the compass, because I actually need these other things. At the moment im playing with a sticky note covering the top of my monitor... this is downright insulting. Also note that most quests don't seem possible without the compass. Unlike in Morrowind, where a journal entry told you in detail how to get to your location (so you had to find it yourself following some basic directions), Skyrim quests are pretty much "Hey, can you go to the cave and kill this person? I'll mark it on your map". If you look in your "journal", you will see a very basic description of what the quest goal is, nothing more. To know where you have to go, you will need to use the compass and follow the arrow that holds your hand all the way to the goal. Streamlined to the max, even more than Oblivion. This game so far is an utter disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Removing compass is my first priority. Going to try to decompile the swf files if the CS is not released soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In game. Thats my major issue right now. That and the crosshair. The crosshair is easier because you can do it in game from the menu, but I want to be able to just press a button and have it disapear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get the compass to go away with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
