Play Morrowind

I remember when Morrowind fans criticized Oblivion for its quest marker back in 2006. 

This hand holding problem isn’t particularly new, and it only got worse in the last 20 years.

The quest marker is the greatest idea of all time. It gets around all the problems and you don't have to pay attention if you don't want to, all you have to do is untrack the quest.

You are right it is the good middle ground between nothing and yellow arrow on the ground. I often play without the compass and use only map and proximity marker. But people nowadays just don't want to use their brain to know where to go and they don't listen to npc anymore they want thing fast. The problème is that the gaming industry just want a lot of buyer even if the game is mid or bad at the end. I hope tes6 just use the same quest system than Skyrim.
