Starfield's maps are not defensible, but fans are already starting to fix them.

Perhaps. I think in terms of Fallout they may have made the maps kind of "stylized" like how the rest of the pip-boy is, but it definitely didn't make the game very fun. Especially when I was lost in one of the many maze-like dungeon levels and the map just wasn't helping.

The indoors Fallout map is the worst thing ever. I don't think it's ever once helped me out of a jam or cleared up confusion. If there are multiple levels (and there always are) it's all just slapped together in a single plane on the map so it makes less than zero sense.

Yeah. The worst case of it I've seen is in the "Come Fly With Me" quest in New Vegas. The indoor area is split into two sections each that are both multiple floors, and both of the floors vary surprisingly not at all in the way they look. Especially the underground section. The quest has you navigating the whole building about a dozen times too, so it just becomes a nightmare.
