Hey all,

These games (Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas) were obviously designed to use the quest arrow as NPCs don't give you location information half the time... "talk to Melissa" and it ends up Melissa is half the map away in a small camp, rather than in that town or any town, for example. For that reason turning off quest arrows in New Vegas is just tedious. That said, I dislike playing "follow the arrow" which is what it feels like when the arrow is on the compass.

In Oblivion the UI mods allowed for customization on this, where you could have no quest arrow on the compass but keep the quest arrow on the game map in the menu. That was the perfect middle-ground for me. Does something like this exist for Fallout New Vegas?

I dunno, but I certainly want a mod like this.

It should be easy I would think. Someone has a mod out that removes all compass markers, but I like the enemy and location markers, I just dislike the quest arrows.

Will admit, it's been a while since I had anything to do with these games, but I wouldn't expect something like this to be difficult, just replace the compass texture with a blank one. Guess it depends on whether the compass and the map share a texture or if they're separate files.

Darn's UI is available for NV, you can edit the menu files to remove just the quest compass arrow, leaving poi markers as they are.
