I don't know if you intended to sound as patronising and passive aggressive as you did. I mention it in case you hadn't intended sounding like an ass.
I'm afraid I may be matching your tone here...
>Have you tried getting out a piece of paper and a pencil and making your own map?
No, I use a better map that other people made. My comment specifically links to it.
>Or do you need a developer to do everything for you?
It would be nice if the developer made their own in-game map and Compendium better, yes.
I am incapable of re-writing Nintendo's own map and compendium code. Even if I were technically capable, I couldn't sign it so it wouldn't run on an unmodded Switch anyway. So fixing the issue properly is indeed something I cannot DIY and would require Nintendo for.
And while it's not an explicit "need" for me, not everyone has the same set of needs. That's a thing about accessibility. It would be a really nice QoL improvement for the game though.
Remembering where everything is on the sprawling multi-level world is obviously an issue that even Nintendo recognised. Some Compendium items do have location info in the Compendium. But not all items in the Compendium though, coz it's a shit implementation.
Is "remembering where shit is" a core mechanic that brings you joy or otherwise enhances the game? One would assume not, but it's not a rhetorical question, please feel free to answer.
You suggested the solution to a half-assed map and compendium is "use pen and paper", instead of asking, "why did the devs half-ass the map and compendium they put in the game?". Do you not think you may be looking at this from the wrong angle?
