Eleriel Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 if it's a place I've been to before I fast-travel. if not, I walk... and get derailed into every single dungeon or castle I come across on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l8ygrey Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I try to be a purist and walk or at least ride everywhere. But my attention span is HOPELESSLY limited. The entire country is being burned down by dragons while the mighty dragonborn is chasing butterflies....Com'ere Luna Moth, I'm gonna get you!

Triblade Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I voted fast travel as that's the method I use the most, but it depends heavily on the distance I need to go and/or the mood I'm in. Typically though, I'm likely going to be trying to get from A -> B and, if fast travelling is the quickest method, that's the one I'll be using.

Eleriel Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Some times fast travel will bone you HARD. click, click, loading please wait, and then when you can play again you're smack dab in the middle of five bandits who all go "Huh!? Where'd YOU come from!? KILL HIM!" PS: I use the horse and carriage when I need to go to a big city I haven't been to before... is there another need for it? it costs money, fast-travel does not.

Villain of Brandon Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 the amount of movement across the map would make me quit if there wasn't some sort of fast travel in place. I've had to go from north east, to south west corners before... just not fun to spend an hour riding across the whole thing just to talk to someone.

dark_shard Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I love walking. Usually on my first playthrough of a new ES game I will walk ONLY, at least until I have explored most of the area first. I really hate horses for some reason on these games.

madein1 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Now after finishing the game it´s mostly fast travel. But while i was playing the story i walked everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggD Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 On my 4th playthrough now and I'm finally starting to use horses. Stole Frost from that one dude's quest in Riften and I love him Until I get Shadowmere of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Maleval Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I've played through at least four times (in the middle of a game now). I've found that horses will jump into battle as soon as you fast travel with the chance of them dying. This even goes for Shadowmere as he (or she) is not entirely invincible. I usually fast travel strategically when I know there's a higher chance of vampire or dragon attacks. I'll travel outside the town first to make sure the enemies don't spawn...then enter city gates. If I was to chose a horse it would be Arvak. Once you clear the Soul Cairn (with Dawnguard), you can summon Arvak anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkOne Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I fast travel most times, other times it's walking, werewolf/vampire lord form or atop a dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainOfDemise Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 It really depends on how I feel. I usually don't have a horse, so I tend to walk around to a lot of places and I don't like to use fast travel because you can miss a lot of random things on the road. The only other thing I use is the carriage sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleBroski Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I am seriously disappointed that so many people prefer fast travel! I mean, it's definitely convenient, but there are so many perks to riding or walking to your destination that fast traveling really removes a large aspect of the game.

Each to their own, but I think that fast travel is needed because I (and a lot of others) don't want to trek for miles and miles between the same locations. It would make it a boring, repetitive game with endless backtracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTownBoi Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I used to try and walk everywhere but ended up being tedious and all the freezing while walking a long distance was the last straw. So now I fast travel everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispycjc666 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Shadowmere died on me xD I thought he was invincible to everything so I jumped off Throat of the World... ...it was a sad day I had that problem as well. Except I had fast travelled while he had run off to fight some random enemy. I came back to the area where I had left him behind, and all I could see was his ass sticking out of the ground! I lost him for the rest of my play through. Grrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Inquisitor Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Fast travel every time unfortunately. I currently have around 50% of the achievements (including the DLC) and have 70 hours in the game. Whilst I enjoy the game immensely I don't want to be spending needless hours walking back and forth, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buruma Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I preferred fast travel and Shadowmere. Had horrible luck with horses until I got him. The only horse I ever had who absolutely refused to die, even when challenging the more powerful dragons. He actually saved my ass a few times by keeping the more vicious dragons distracted.
