so we got waypoint now or i misunderstood
No waypoints, you rub yourself on rivers and mountains now, instead of just stopping.
Waypoints or pathfinding would have been great, but more difficult to do.
If we can't get those, an option would have been to make those areas
very slow to travel through (you had to make a raft to get across that river or you had to mountain-engineer on that mountain and so on).
