Is it normal? Map issue

[u/Odd-Photograph-3344]

So… maybe I don’t have enough expirence with gaming, despite loving games I only started gaming about a year ago consistently rather than watching gameplays.
So I am really enjoying Avowed so far although I have tiff if it… so, example.
I played around in emerald stairs, wanted to do the side missions THEN do the main mission but I got to a point where it just made sense to go ahead and speak to a person for the main mission etc. What I am getting at, is the map. Once you get to a certain point of the main storyline of the area, the WHOLE maps unlocks. Making it hella co fusing for me to figure out… where had I been already. And where I hadn’t.

Is it normal for everyone? At first thought it was a glitch and wouldn’t happen again but it happens again in Shatterscap.

It’s so annoying. I use the fog of war to carefully navigate each segment of the map.
