Poll: Skyrim: how often will you be using fast travel?

[Magnum700]

On my first playthrough, I'll be using it a alot. When I get new games I feel the need to complete the main storyline as fast as possible. I end up regretting it though.

 

[StormShaun]

Ill use it when I need it, basicly Ill use it if I have to get somewhere in a hurry, and if the horses are much more fun to use, ill use them all the other times.

 

[ImprovizoR]

I hear fast travel will cost money. I will probably not use it until I explore entire Skyrim.

Pretty simple, really, there are purists out there who hate the addition of fast travel and there are some who think it's a useful tool. I think it's okay, I use it when I'm just too lazy to go from one place to another by foot, but I do try to explore as much as possible since we're given this massive, open world and it's a bit of a shame to just skip through it.

It is tempting, sometimes, to just skip the journey and go somewhere, but Morrowind had some decent ways of getting around and I think I preferred that as it made the experience a little richer because when you couldn't be teleported to a place, use recall or hop on a silt strider you were forced to walk which meant that you might accidentally run into a side quest or find a nice bit of loot you would've otherwise skipped with fast travel. Plus, sometimes it's just nice to take a stroll and look at the scenery.

However, that's just my opinion it's obviously different for different people. So, what's your opinion?

I really hope that there will be a siltrunner esque mod

I'll use the rule I went by in other Bethesda games: Don't use it unless the game screws you over. Like when I walk from one town to another and the game decides to crash when I reach my destination, I use fast travel to make up the time. Or when I go to the edge of the damn map to be sent on a quest to the opposite edge of the map. Otherwise I don't use it.

 

[CrazyMedic]

I only will use it between major cities or if they like put a cool player house in the alps but it is a 20 minute walk from town other then those two I will try to cut back but I might now be able to help myself fast traveling back to town from a quest.

 

[Steeltrap]

Ill probably use it alot.

 

[omega 616]

If I am on one side of the world and the quest is on the other side, your high if you think I am walking that. I will fast travel but if it's the next town over, I will walk.

I just don't want to spend more time walking than anything else, so I think it's an acceptable way to do it.

 

[Varitel]

I will probably start off not using it very much, but eventually I will be using it frequently.

 

[Wolfhowl the shadow lurker]

most of the time in oblivion i liked to have a walk but if i was just in the mood to get it over with then a bit of fast travel is good to have it will be the same with skyrim

 

[dyre]

I'll slowly make my way to plot points, enjoying the scenery and ridding the land of highwaymen, but if I get a "visit each city and ask the leader to spare two soldiers to help you fight the demons," I sure as hell will use fast travel, not to mention console codes if I need them.

 

[SUPA FRANKY]

Pretty much how I'm doing it in Oblivion.

I only fast travel to a place unless I've been there. So I preety much walk to all the towns.

 

[sage42]

For missions or if there's something I want from a specific town I'll use fast travel., other wise I learned from Oblivion to explore the world.

 

[k-ossuburb]

I really hope that there will be a siltrunner esque mod

"Why walk when you can ride?"

Personally, I'd just love to be able to hear that again.

 

[Elfgore]

I will find locations at the begaining but near the middle of the game I will switch to fast travel because I have already found quite a bit of locations.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Often. I like exploring, but when I want to get someplace, I'll use it to get there quicker.

 

[HazelrahFiver]

I'm sure that I will use it frequently. I won't want to at first, but as soon as I've been somewhere once, and then have to return at a later date, I will say, 'f*** it' and quickly use the fast travel. It's a shame and I hope I am wrong. It would be awesome to be so motivated by exploration that I don't want to skip wandering it.
