StaceyPowers Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Do you find quest markers on your screen helpful or distracting? For me it seems to vary widely, depending on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 They aren't distracting in anyway to me, they are simply helpful to me in-game. They serve as instruction and guide whenever an action is needed to be taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 There is no way you wouldn't expect it to be distracting when it's over used in my opinion. When it's used moderately, I'm cool with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I wouldn't like it when it becomes annoying and covering the in-game screen, that's when it will get me upset to turn it off immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by covering the in-game screen? I haven't seen that per say in the games that I have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some hints via my mobile mobile and PS2 of old, covering the game screen. You'll see it popping up in the top left, or top right corner of the in-game screen covering the game-play.

Head_Hunter Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Provided it stays cool near the bottom left corner or right corner, without being annoying and distorting my fun playing games, I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I would say helpful, unless it legit just keeps telling you hints when you are possibly doing them already or already have completed the hint it’s suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more like having the same thing being repeated over and over again which is simply just a disturbance to the gamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Quest markers are distracting but not in the way you think. If you have a quest marker you go there in a straight line without regard to anything else. If you don't have one that encourages exploration and makes the game far more immersive. The unguided mode was introduced in Assassin's Creed Odyssey and it was an instant hit with me. They also carried it over to the Ghost Recon franchise with Breakpoint.

If the Quest markers are straight dead on point, it's definitely going to be very helpful in aiding the gamer to complete the game as quickly as possible.

Empire Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Kingdom Come used only a few and very imprecise markers. It helped to increase the immersion but it was easy to miss out on quests and you never knew it was because a script was bugged and something just didn't trigger or if you were too stupid to find it.

Sometimes, there is always a good reason why some of the Quest markers tend to be longer because they need to cover a lot of ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are too long, they tend to bore me to death. Most of the time, I don't really use it always to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
