📋 About This Mod
Update: Fixed a small typo and map markers will now be grey-enabled on your map. Still no instant fast travel tough. This mod adds a new quest which will list all random encounters you\'ve found. Every unique encounter will be marked with a new map marker now, and the quest will show it\'s location as well. Only found the real use for this after already finished the mod. You can potentially spawn an encounter and not know about it, even just pass right next to it. This will notify you whenever a new encounter happens nearby, and point to it\'s location as well. Works most immersive with new games, but has no problems with any save games at all. You\'ll just have to go back to all your previously found places to re-explore them for the map marker then. Map guides will be shown even after you found the corresponding map markers for the specific objective. Requires: Fallout 3 (duh) Legal stuff and blabla: Made by: me. Use: as you wish. Thanks to: Bethesda.
