I saw some pre alpha footage and I noticed they're going with the Skyrim compass bar that's on the top of the screen, which was the worst map style i've ever withnessed in a game. Kingdom's of Amalur has the best mini map I've ever witnessed in a game. I really hope they provide us a mini map. What do you guys think?

While it's not really a gamebreaker for me, I would prefer a minimap. Easier to look at, and you can still have the icons at the edges just like a compass.

Same as the second guy.

Also they can at least design their own compass instead of literally stealing from Skyrim...

Skyrim's compass bar was pretty inconvenient. I don't want to know just the vague direction of my goal, I want to know if there's a great big mountain or wall or river in the way.

[DooomCookie]

Definitely, definitely want a minimap. It's part of the genre. That was one of my major worries when watching the pre-alpha footage (when I wasn't fan-squeeing, that is.)

I'm ok with a compass and access to a main map for outdoor areas but I definitely need a minimap for indoors. Spending my time wandering around the same half-dozen rooms doesn't do much for me.

At least I'd like to know if my goal is 500 metres underground from where I'm standing.

+10000. Navigating around those mountains got annoying quickly

Yes, please, minimap. I have zero sense of direction in video games. In fact forget minimap, we have mounts now, it's time for lyrium powered, horse mounted satnav - 'Turn left at the next hurlock corpse.'

Yea, I hate Skyrim's compass, it's like two Hitlers.

^^ Yes! That was mildly infuriating about  Skyrim's compass. 
I do hope DA:I will have a mini map

It was very bad. I ended up finishing the game, but by the end I still didn't understand the compass. It is so annoying. A game that promotes adventuring made it very difficult for me to adventure. It gave me a headache.

I fully support this idea!

^This. Definitely this. And it can even have a an annoying voice like iPhone Siri if that would make Bioware more okay with giving us a convenient tool. I don't mind randomly shouting, 'Shut up, Siri!' as long as she's helpful at LEAST 90% of the time. xD

I really hope a dev can confirm this soon. From what it seems on this thread so far is that we would rather have a mini map than the Skyrim compass. I'm totally ok if they include both.

[Olessan-]

I was mildly annoyed to see that they've swapped mini-map for a compass. Dragon Age's style is to have a mini-map, and it's clear they've nicked the one from Skyrim for DAI:I.
The Skyrim compass was a dramatic improvement on the compasses from Oblivion and Morrowind, but it took a long time to get used to it being up top of the screen. That was the only real problem with it I found, though.
 It's not like it was difficult to use. Come to a mountain? Hike over it. Takes a minute or two to get over. Alternatively, use a bucket (flying glitch). xD

I think I can see why they went with an Elder Scrolls-like compass instead of a mini-map (though I'm hoping we get a toggle to swap between); the explorable enviroments are now dramatically bigger than they were in the first two games, so that'd be the main reason. The problem is, the compass works much better in first person than it does in third -- it feels out of place by comparison. But, if the explorable, open areas of Inquisition are really that big, a compass may or may not work out better in the long run.
There's.. still a small hope that they'll implement a mini-map instead? A tiny one? I'm completely fine with either of them but I know I'd immediately go for the mini-map if given the choice, since it's perfect for Dragon Age.

I hope they will have the mini map again the compass just doesn't do it for me i would get lost lol

[esper]

I hope for a minimap too.

[Wulfram]

I'd rather have a mini-map

[Direwolf0294]

I'm generally not a fan of mini-maps, they make the world feel so small and confined, so I'm happy if they don't include one in DA:I.
