The compass in Avowed leaves me checking the map constantly. I think it would be much more helpful if it was just a small minimal since I can open the map and see my position amongst the terrain anyway. 

 

I think it would also, at the very least, be useful if I could disable compass rotation. It's much easier for me to navigate when the compass is static so that I can map the area in my head without having to think about the orientation in relation to north constantly.

The absence of north indication on the said compass does not make sense 😛  [That said, see comment below]

Also a good number of people prefer a mini-map to always face north, you know, like a map. 

Like Zerox392, I constantly have to open the big map and look at the direction my character is facing.  Not to mention I cannot target/waypoint any destination of my choice.  I think the compass only shows the arrow towards the nearest main quest marker. 

I hope it is easy for you to implement (at least a pointer north or a non-rotating mini-map) as it would be a great QOL improvement.

Well, well, well : it turns out that the larger diamond around the compass indicates the North. 😄 

I never noticed or realized : someone had to tell me.  My brain ignored that aspect as just UI decorations around the compass (the Human brain filters a lot of info). 

On one hand it is embarrassing, on the other hand I give feedback on purpose, because I know it is precious to improve stuff that we may not notice as devs.  I am presuming many others like me did not catch it.
