And I disagree with whoever said you don't need a map for this kind of game. And I am pleased to see Fable 2 has one.

I often resorted to the paper map to find paths because world view was too zoomed out. I want a 3D world that I have to map myself with dead reckoning and spotting landmarks. This wouldn't rule out being able to buy area maps in the game that you can onion-skin with your map. You could also show your map to a buddy in co-op so they can crib from your work.

I can't say I found it that distracting at all, it's easy enough to just wander about. It might have made sense for Peter to talk about such things post the reviews rather than now but they're relatively minor quibbles in the context of the whole thing.

TBH though, I kinda like maps that fill themselves in as you travel. Breadcrumbs can probably get lost though, doesn't sound too good. Shouldn’t really need a map for this type of game anyway.

I love the island in Phantom Hourglass that you have to map yourself. They should have given you an incomplete map and then let you amend it.

Gotta agree with this. Yes, I know it can be turned *off* but the fact its there in the first place is a bit... meh!

More to the point it's a shame there wasn't time to iron them out. And I am still on the grounds where this is defitnely a game I want but won't be getting. About the navigation, I really don't like the breadcrumbs idea. It seems a bit distracting to me. But maybe this is a sign of a great game. It certainly defuses hype, I am sure it's a PR trick.
