Call me grouchy, but there was nothing in The Witcher 3 that I found as annoying as the quest markers. Not being able to activate more than one quest at a time wasn’t cool. I would have found the game much smoother and legible if I hadn’t been forced to juggle the quest markers every five minutes. Having more markers means you’re able to decide where to go next in an instant, instead of riffling through the journal and peeping at the map every single time you want to check another quest. Fortunately, the modders have also taken care of that.
All Quest Objectives on Map puts a definitive end to that – after installing it, markers for every single unfinished quest from your journal will appear on the map at all times. But there’s more – after hovering the cursor over a totally neat marker, you will see the level requirements of that quest (also indicated by the icon’s color), as well as a short description of the quest. This mod also takes care of the merchant markers – they no longer disappear after you venture to another part of the world. However, this only works for the merchants you meet after installing the mod.
Installation guide:
Chose one of the three versions:
- Lite – all quests are marked with uniform, white icons. Even the author doesn’t recommend this one – it’s only here in case the mod would be incompatible with another one that is already installed.
- Standard – marks quests with color-coded icons.
- Full – adds merchants to the equation.
Regardless of which one you decide to get, export the file to the “Mods” folder in the game’s directory. (Alternatively, use the Nexus Mod Manager).
All Quest Objectives on Map is likely to cause conflicts with The Daily Monster Hunt Challenge i Forgotten Worlds – use the Script Merger to eliminate potential problems.
