Hand holding is what completely kills immersion in games. I remember the old EQ days of having to actually read and follow quest to figure ithem out. Things felt so much more rewarding than when I played WOW and just followed the golden path and spam clicking through the quest dialog because it didnt matter if I read it or not.
I honestly don't seenhow anyone could get lost unless they aren't talking to people or looking at the journal.
There is expkorer mode for people who want to eaee into combat. I haven't played it because it sounded less fun to me but I assume combat is easier just incase regular isnt already easy enough.
What's the point of having writers and building a story to then just put magic dots on the map for you to follow.
The only thing I got lost on was spending 20 minutes on those same ship doors at the end but I figured it out and was glad the game didn't just tell me what to do.
