Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Disappointed by Patch 2...

I really thought Larian would break their convention and allow players like me to turn off the minimap and quest markers in Patch 2 as they said the patch would reflect some fans´ suggestions. But now I see they do not want to change anything regarding immersive playing. Unfortunately. I just cannot play this game this way so good bye Larian. I hope GOG will accept my refund.

I bit of a drastic measure because they said in advance what's gonna come in Patch #2 and it's just the multiplayer quality of life to remove co-op characters, while character customization post-creation is coming somewhere in September. So far no actual community requested features have been implemented, so all I can recommend is patience and sending them direct feedback to ask for some interface customization features.

I'm almost certain there are mods that accomplish what you want and more...

Just about to say the same thing. Even if there isn't yet there probably will be sooner or later. HUDs, maps and markers generally receive attention from modders.

really? you are this upset about a mini-map?

Games can only get so immersive dude.

Also I see your signature? no icons on a map? do you know how maps work IRL?

There is a long queue of needed features before we can get to something as optional as turning off the map. Larian would make no mistake leaving that to modders

F10... and you're welcome.

Good bye!

Yes, but they only announced 2 big patches and the second was released yesterday

well, maybe I would have not been so upset had the minimap been smaller like in Divinity: Original Sin but for some unknown reasons they made a minimap in Original Sin 2 much bigger and BG 3 has seemingly even a bigger minimap. What about making just the whole game in the minimap style? After all, all just look at the minimap while playing the game one way or another.

They already have announced more patches. Give them some time. It's only a few weeks and we already have two patches, plus they are working on PS5 release and on adding content (as Swen mentioned, that they had called voice actors back).
They said, they address community wishes in later patches and in the meantime, use the mod to erase the minimap.

A MOD to turn ON/OFF/Minimize a minimap?
Really?

To me Its like needing a MOD to have the spell book screen.
F10 gets rid of the entire UI.
Some people like playing their Crpg games with no maps at all, or something very minimalist not in your face.

Its called BASIC UI FUNCTIONS. The BG3 MINI map isn&t MINI. Its incredibly large and takes tons of screen space.
Nobody would be complaining if this (minimize, on/off) was on option and already in the game. It makes sense and is a no brainer.

i dont believe you are the only one wishing for things. Weird behavior of you to react like this but crying that YOUR specific improvement wasnt implemented immediately is very selfish.

They will adress many things, obviously they need time.

For myself, i want them to fix Minthara and add content to her as she lacks a lot of content, but i know that takes time and im willing to give them the time and not make a huge drama out of it after the 2nd patch..

be reasonable.

Priorities. To most players a map toggle is feature they will never use or get frustrated if they accidentally hide it. You probably will see a toggle eventually but it's not game breaking so it's an entry on a long list of to dos.

I wish I could say what I really think about your post without being warned or banned here.

Looks to me like they've been patching things in order of priority (good of the many vs good of the few). Also you still have the option to Hide UI entirely with a single keypress.

That said, it is odd for the size of the minimap not to be adjustabie, but I really only notice when playing at 1920x1080 on my hand-held. On ultra-wide monitors it's well out-of-the-way.

I'd be happier if they got rid of FOW. Why, e.g. is the Hinterlands FOW-ed? People live(d) there, trade caravans passed through etc, etc. Even the Shadow-Cursed Land has harpers mooching about in there. What about all the maps you find on your travels or all the "let me mark your map" NPCs who place a marker in the middle of nowhere?
I will say that I think the improvement in the map and minimap was one of the best things in the change from EA to full release.

As for no map - unbind the M key so you never activate it by accident and zoom in the minimap so you only see a tiny part of any area.
