Is Morrowind the one where you get quests by following directions on a note, or am I thinking of a different RPG?
I have severe ADHD; I need a waypoint marker or I can’t play the game. If I have to follow instructions on a piece of paper, I’ll just get lost, frustrated, and never find the place. I can’t remember names of locations, and I forget something I read or heard literally seconds after reading/hearing it. It makes oldschool RPGs—and life in general—much harder than it needs to be.
Yeah, and unfortunately I don’t know of any mods to add quest markers. The community is generally very against things like quest markers because part of the feel of the game is being a bit lost as you talk to people and investigate areas. I never thought about that as an accessibility thing though makes sense. There are mods to get you places in a more specific way like Scouts Services, you could look up where you need to be and write it down, but that’s not a marker so idk how well it would work for you. I’ll let you know if I can find an actual solution but again may not exist due to how the community feels about markers
Yeah that’s the one, I’m right there with you, I probably put in several hundred hours as a kid, but never bothered to read past the tutorial, so I never made it far in the story.
I have to imagine there are some good mods to help folks like us
Out of curiosity, what part do you consider the tutorial? The how to play part is only a few minutes at the beginning then it kinda just drops you in the world with a ‘good luck fucko’ and pat on the back. It took me years before I ever got around to the main story and that was mostly an afterthought for me at the time.

If it helps, there is an Interactive map

Exactly my experience, hahaha, yup, that’s all I was thinking of
