As someone who is absolutely bollocks at video games but still loves them I prefer to have quest markers. However I think the best solution would be to make a setting that allows them to be turned on and off at will. That way people like you who prefer less hand-holding can adventure without them and filthy casuals like me can enjoy our game a bit easier.

-Serious brownie points if you get the character to whom I am referring.-
