It does on mine, there are icons on the minimap to denote quest points.
I think the journal entries were updated to make it more clear but Larian refuses to add minimap arrows or objective markers aside from some basic navigation aids.
That seems to go against what I read about the Enhanced Edition during development.
How specific are the markers? I suspect they'll only show you building names or towns and the like, not pinpoint your destination.
There's definitely minimap markers on the PS4 version.

Oh, that makes sense. In my mind the enemy would face you after a single hit, hadn't realised you can spam backstabs like that.

It has a 10rounds cooldown. Sneak has no cd, which means, you get behind a mob, backstab, sneak, backstab, sneak, backstab etc until out of AP, sneak before end of round so mobs don't see you and rinse repeat the next round.
Sneak is a damage boost in combat for a melee rogue, it's not for moving around. I mentionned it but at least in original if you played melee rogue, you had to have 5sneaking, as it massively improved combat performance. Good thing though is it only costs 2points to achieve 5, since you get +2 from gear and +1 from a trait you can unlock in the first town.
With that said, there's a bunch of nerfs to that playstyle in talents and the skills are a lot better, so don't know how necessary it'll be in EE. It's one of the things I want to test right away, that and how dual wielding works(AP penalty, damage calculations with skills/backstab and such).
Seemed fairly specific to me, they lead you to the objective, they are on the map you access when you press the touchpad, yellow and black pointers/markers
Is there any sort of option to turn them off?
Yeah man. Blind or stun the enemy so you get 100% hit chance. Line up a backstab, and start sneak-stabbing. It's ridiculous.
Though I'm not sure what nerfs may be incoming.
Speaking on which, is there a list of what skills/talents/spells are changed and in what way?
I didn't delve too much into the options, but I think so, the tutorial prompts eluded to it, there are also big black item markers that shout "TOMB KEY" and stuff like that which I think can be turned off.

I can't use the tactician difficulty at the start of the game?
Lol never mind.

The wiki is slowly being updated. I've been having a read through. Scoundrel got massively revamped. Actually interested in rolling one now.
This was how the original game did map markers:

Aside from some rewritten journal entries, I doubt that Larian put in anything more explicit in the Enhanced Edition but I guess I'll find out tonight.

Actually, I wonder if they added that to Tactician on some/most mobs. The backstab chain thing was fairly OP and even with the talent nerfs I think it'd still be broken. Would be interesting if they force you to stun/knockdown mobs before you do it and stuff.
Bit of a small pic, but it looks the same as what I've got.
I got around 25 hours into it before it started getting a bit too harsh for me
So yeah, also can't wait to try again in baby mode lol

Any reviews of the EE yet? Are we expecting a review thread?
Review copies went out late and it's a big game. Gotta wait.
Man, I love remote desktop software. Downloading now.
I agree absolutely, except I'd like to note that it's also somewhat of an action game (playing as a dragon in the RTS parts).

Ugh, 60 bucks for the console version? I was going to buy it again on ps4 like I did for wasteland but sixty? For a game that came out a year ago at 40?

Witcher 3 is a damn exception in that regard. There are games that are good, linear and easy and even then less than half people finished them. And W3, being a 100 hour game, have an incredibly high % of people finishing it.
I suppose it's that good and gripping.
You get to talk to animals. They can help you with quests.

I'm aware of that but what do they end up doing for you? Does a squirrel occasionally kill a guard with poison or something awesome?
I don't understand how anyone wouldn't take Pet Pal the instant they saw it. Extra dialog all over the game + a few silly animal quests? What's not to like?
Sometimes you get some humorous dialog. Sometimes they can provide unorthodox solutions to quests, some will even outright give you quests.
Also all the rats in the world act as a hint system, you'll find rats near puzzles and they'll give you clues.

I'm downloading it on PC. The fact that this update is completely free puts a smile on my face
On Steam, I guess? I can't download it via GOG yet.

Is the PS4 version 60FPS? I never played these kind of games, but it looks interesting.

Secretly I must have always wanted this because this sounds like the best thing ever. Will fire it up on my macbook later, graphic settings be damned!

I still have to finish DQ:H and Halo 5 came in today but fuck it, just bought it on Xbox One.

I'm not forced into using those unorthodox solutions am I?
If I were to pick up the trait, would it make sense to use it on my main character or the second character I create?
No, but the solutions the animals provide are obviously only available if you can talk to them.
That said, imo, the main reason for picking the perk is that you miss some of the best dialogue and jokes of the game if you don't have it.
It's not a perk you pick for min/maxing. You pick it for a good laugh.
