Dragons Dogma was a massive massive world with next to not form of Fast Travel.
When i finished the game i realized that it`s actually kinda small and was a little sad, i love it anyway though.
I usually fast travel when i`m tired and just wanna do that quest on the other end of the map, or when i need resources from all over the place like ores in skyrim, on the other hand i enjoyed getting lost in Morrowind with no quest markers. I got lost for a couple of hours now and then, lol.
In DA:I i`ll probably will travel on foot most of the time, unless i need to backtrack to a particulary far away part of the map, then mounts or fast travel.

Fast travel is 100% dependent on mood and context for me. The first time I go to an area, I almost always walk the long way. When I'm done and loaded with loot, I see no particular reason to manually trek all the way back to town. I already killed all the stuff on the way and I know what it looks like. It feels precisely the same as me not watching my character sleep or eat or other boring, mundane necessities I know they must be doing. Other instances where I want to be able to fast travel: going back because I forgot something in some area, fetch quests, getting something over with more quickly when I have a short window of time to play, or when I've been playing for hours and I'm tired of the grindy, combat parts and I just want to progress the story parts.

I tend to use fast travel. There are times when I prefer taking the long way, but not always. In a game like Skyrim, it can literally take a half hour to travel on horseback to a location. So depending on the time that I have to play, I'll use it to help speed me (the player, not the character) on my way.

I will likely use constant fast travel, in Skyrim that was all I did. I see no point to wasting half my play time running between places. That's not to say I won't enjoy exploring but mounting from East Ferelden to West Orlais has zero appeal to me at all,
If the game actually has legit awesome mounts I could see myself using them a bit, but horses, lawl no.

Sometimes i use fast travel but also like walking depends on how long i have to travel. When it comes to games like new vegas cause of how big it is i fast travel.

Nope. I'd rather not spend hours and hours running across empty countryside, thank you.

Depends if there is any of interest to see by backtracking. Are there enemies I can slay for extra exp? Secrets or hidden treasures or will going back where I came from trigger a cut-scene or special event? If there any of the following I don't mind going back but if its just going to waste my time then I will most certainly fast travel.

I find Fast Travel as a quality of life sort of thing, sometimes in a massive world it just becomes a giant time sink when you are having to hoof it back and forth between an area you have been to number of times. In Dragons Dogma as much as I really enjoyed that game and just sort of running around, when I had places to go and be it drove me nuts, though they handled it well having the fast travel be a sort of unlock with items and it was your choice where to put it.
Other than that though, it does depend on how long it takes from point a to point b.

I'll use fast travel more as I become more familiarized with locations.

Once you can buy Portcrystals in Dragon's Dogma, (NG+) fast travel is greatly improved. There are some limitations to where you can put them, but you can pretty much choose up to 10 fast travel locations for yourself.
I think Dark Arisen added more Portcrystals to the main campaign as well because it was a common complaint.
I like exploration and feeling like I'm losing myself in pretty virtual environments, so fast travel isn't a biggie for me unless I am trying to complete a specific goal. In Inquisition I will thoroughly explore each area, and if anything has changed on a return trip I will check it out. Once I've exhausted the sense of discovery I'll use mounts and fast travel more frequently.
I had Dark Arisen and access to the Port Crystals, and yes, it helps a lot. But i feel like, in the end, they were just patching in a kind of crappy fast travel system.
(Its an awesome game though.)
I like exploring in rpgs, and delving into every part of the world... the first few times. Then, i just want to get where i want to go.
Im all for fast travel systems. I dont need real time travel to keep immersion. If anyone does, well, its completely optional.

I really hope we can walk to anywhere if we want to. And I also hope we can go back to revisit anywhere we want to. How's that then.

I will probably not use fast Travel. When I've used up Party Banter with a Group, I will use the Mounts to travel "fast". Real fast Travel per Map will only come up if there is no Way to travel by Foot/Mount between Regions.

Will you be giving fast travel a miss wherever possible?
Yep. My Inquisitors will walk everywhere. Must see and pick every.single.thing.
Although once I'm confident an area has been thoroughly explored, I will fast travel.

I know it was only a demo but I would like to get on my horse and explore the Hinterlands going back and forth if necessary.
I wonder if this map is all of the Hinterlands or just a portion?

I try to avoid fast travel, yes.
The way I see it is that these game developers create awesome, huge, lore-filled game worlds with huge detail. Why on earth would I skip out on seeing all this for the sake of a few seconds of a loading screen? Now, I'm not denying the usefulness of a fast travel system but I feel like I am missing out on something, no matter how small, whenever I use it.
Look at a game like Skyrim. It's huge, filled with detail and has many locations to visit. I try to avoid fast travelling around because there's always something going on and the atmosphere in the game is amazing. I get that travelling to Solitude from Riften on foot is going to take a while but most of the time, given the option, I'd rather do that than fast travel.

Yes, you miss a lot of fun by fast travelling.

First time.. not at all, by the time I hit play through 5, yeah I might start seeing its appeal.

It depends. If i don't enjoy the combat in a game i may fast travel quite a bit more (such as skyrim, i don't really like the combat). Also if the areas are boring/lifeless (like Fallout: New Vegas to me) i like to fast travel. Finally, if i really want to advance the story because i am anxious to see what is next i may fast travel then once i beat the game i replay it and take everything slower.

Unless I'm out of resources,like healing or mana potions etc and I need to go back and craft/buy some.
Then yes,I'd probably fast-travel in order to avoid unwanted,hostile encounters.
