none of that shit matters
the whole ass entirety of the Witcher 3 doesn't matter
it was all a setup just so they can make a game with Ciri as the hecking lesbian protag
>he specifically enable POIs on map >he specifically installed the mod that replaces all the "?" POIs with their actual icon >just so he could shitpost
points for dedication i guess

current open world design is shit
we need to return to gothic philosophy with hand crafted locations, hand placed loot, small maps, no repetitive monster nests and bandit camps on the map
>hurr durr, just let the players draw on the map!
Yeah like if the devs will ever let you do that.
taking control away from the player is good sometimes

Generally the criticism is an extension of the the complaint about variety. Most of the time, each of these icons represent something extremely similar, highlighting the fact that the game is filled with monotonous activities.
If each of these icons represented something unique, then this would not be considered an issue.

Easily? You have two types of open world maps
Ubisoft tier - repeated activities that usually discovered via tower (AssCreed, Witcher 3, etc.)
Gothic tier (or whatever you want to name it) - it's up to you to discover anything, discoveries aren't "activities" (Gothis, Elex, etc.)
You literally can't post a better map or one with better mechanics. Tilting it to see the elevation with the touchpad, being able to see every item at every location. Showing you the paths you've already made. It's literally perfect

Blood and Wine unironically saved this game. I dropped this fuckshit coma inducing visual novel around the part where you get to the big city, Novigrad I think, but then I saw the trailers for the DLC and reinstalled the game and bought the DLC and holy shit Blood and Wine is easily the greatest DLC ever made

Weird how CD Project Red can't finish a game normally, Phantom Liberty also reinvented the whole thing into something people could actually enjoy and play

Skyrim doesn't show you quest requirements or what stuff you have at each location and all people ever do when looking at it is click fast travel
