this just reminded me i have a frame of the perfect size

How much did the frame cost? I wouldn't mind looking into framing mine.

Indeed! Sad, for it is no tapestry or the like!

I'm planning on doing the same.

What are the exact dimensions of the map? I haven't taken mine out of the case yet.

I was looking to frame mine too

It was ￡40 including the wall pins from here (uk site):

They custom build the frames to your dimensions, my map was 678x484 mm, and they made the frame 100% perfect to fit.

That's actually kind of cool. Maps are beautiful! :goodjob:

burlap map

Whaaaaat?!

I asked around for people who bought retail if the map was just paper or fabric, and I was told paper so I just bought the game on Steam.

I feel cheated :mad:

It is paper, just a really thick parchment like burlap paper.

I spent ages ironing it under a towel, the creases still remained but they flattened out a lot and are barely visible inside the frame.

Well you should. You paid full price for a digital copy.. I'd feel cheated to.

It feels like textured paper to me

It textured high quality paper

I bought mine off of steam....

Sadly I am left without this beautiful piece of heaven. Enjoy your amazing collectible.

Make sure to save it and tell your grandkids this is what the world was like back in the good old days. Tell them about slaying dragons and when they call you on it you have a map from your youth as proof.

That is really sweet. Much smarter than naming your kid dovakhin or getting a skyrim tattoo. This is beautiful and does not require surgery or expensive legal proceedings to undo.
