Suggestion - Map Markers

[xacloman 4]

Is the search broken? I cant believe no one has said this but oh well.

 

I think the ability to add map markers(with a pen) to the ones we find would be amazing.

You could use it as a reminder of where you have stuff, or where you have looted.

Also it could be like a treasure map if someone killed you and stole it. 

 

Maybe, it could just be three or so different choices, like an X for looted, a :) for friend, :( for enemy, and a box for stash.

 

Ideally it would be something like this, with multiple marker choices(obviously no teleport). http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38731/?

you can find tons of other great mods as an example from other games(maybe WoW).

It already exists. The devs will probably make it so that the markers aren't in common anymore but instead are specific to the map so that f you find somebody's map, you'll have their markers.

Oh, thank god, I thought you meant a literal arrow on your screen that directs you to an area with the amount of meters away it is and everything.

 

Adding pen-drawn markers to maps? Actually sounds cool.

You can mark various things on the in-game map.

To add a marker simply double click on the map when the map is fullscreen. A marker will show where you clicked.
You can change it's color by pressing SHIFT-UP/DOWN.
You can also use Icons on the map by pressing ALT-UP/DOWN which will cycle to all the possible icons.
Deleting a marker can be done by pointing to it with your mouse and then pressing DELETE.

The markers will be visible to all the players in this channel."
