I was thinking about buying a physical copy of Skyrim map from E bay, and I saw bunch of different describtions. so I wanted to check what kinds of map quality/size are out there


Ones I know of are

Quality
-Glossy paper
-Quality paper
-Cloth

Size

-Small
-Large (about 22x17 inch)

Am I correct? or are quality papar (preorder) and cloth paper the same thing?

The one that came with the game is a paper map... It's a good quality paper map.

I'd love to have a cloth one instead, though. Cloth doesn't get destroyed in such huge ways as paper can. I also like the idea of cloth maps.

I want one on goat hide!

I'm sure cloth and quality paper are the same. It's synthetic burlap-like material and feels similiar to cloth. It came with preorsered games. After that, they came with shiny paper.

I got a cloth one off the shelf. Lucky I guess.

So did I... Was I not supposed to?

I'm not sure if I have cloth or quality paper...

There's only two types of map, standard and pre order.

Standard is a shiny, glossy paper that's pretty thin.
Pre-order is a non-glossy, rugged paper that feels like a cross between paper and card. It has groves in it.

No different sizes, and you can't get the pre-order map anymore unless you specifically buy it used.

Also, don't buy the PC version second hand. Mainly because you can't.

Too bad it was a "while supplies last" type of deal. I pre-ordered and got the standard one.

Still a better reference than the in-game map though.

I was really surprised by the quality of the pre-order map. Perfect for framing too!
