Why Starfield’s Terrible Maps Are Actually A Good Thing

Starfield takes place in the distant future of 2330 when technology has advanced to a stage that led humanity to the stars but apparently has also taken away their ability to create city maps. The spacefaring game from the makers of Skyrim is understandably receiving complaints from a few who are frustrated and would like more useful directions to guide their character, yet the developers at Bethesda most likely designed the lackluster maps in this manner on purpose. The level of detail in Starfield overall, with the intricate worlds that have been created, lends itself to the idea that the dev team simply could not have overlooked the maps.
