I tend to use fast travel if its for a quest. After playing Far Cry 2 where you had to drive a while through areas where mooks respawn every five minutes I really like bypassing that kind of thing whenever I get a chance.

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.

It largely depends on the area. Mountainous mazes? Fast travel all the way! If I'm going from say the Orlesian desert to Redcliffe castle for some reason, fast travel for as much of the journey as possible. But from one side of a good map to the other? Walk it!

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 do not avoid it, but have learned to restrict it more than in past games.

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.

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.

Generally speaking,I'd say that I avoid it as much as possible,no matter the area.
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.
