The first hour, I love that I had to read signs to find out where everything was. It felt pretty immersive.
Then the later hours, I hated it. Akila city, I don't know where anything is. Give me a map!
I strongly believe all those folks who are like, "I love in Morrowind they don't tell you directions just go make a right at the big rock" are in the extreme minority.
Akila city is much worse than new Atlantis since it isn't segmented into sections so you could fast travel to areas. Then I got to Neon and dealt with the Ryujin quest line that basically had me sprint the length of a football field to the other side of the city multiple times before I finished it because there was no fast travel in the city. I upgraded my stamina just for that place lol
And the whole morrowind comparison is BS since they seemed to forget that Morrowind gave you a map and a local map to chart your paths. Please be sure to call out those people for that.
Morrowind style would be you asking a guard "hey wheres the doctor" and they'd say "oh theres a nice place by the mast building and a cheaper spot in the well". That would be better than what we have now
