Compass bugged ?

[Seregmegilmor]

Hello there,

I don't know if it's a bug or if it's a feature, but I noticed something odd with the Compass.

When facing N or S (according to the map) the red point indicates the right direction.

However, when I'm facing E or W, it's the _black_ side which seems to be pointing in the right direction.

I just noticed this today myself.

I was trying to use the compass to double check which way I was facing for a puzzle and got all confused. Thankfully I'm doing my first run through of the game with the minimap turned on so I was able to double check that way instead and confirm that the compass was behaving badly

Edit: OK! So a friend of mine pointed out that I'm an idiot and the compass works exactly like it's supposed to...it always points north, not the direction I'm facing, just like a real compass. I suppose I've played too many video games that make compasses point the way you're facing and expected this one to work that way too. Perception is key, and that unmarked little compass icon in my inventory was so like a normal video game compass >.<

But now I know!

Well I do feel like an idiot now... I just realized it is in fact working as intended when I started playing again today.

Shows how easily one can forget how some simple things are supposed to work when you get too used to other representations. xD
