The Oblivion Fast Travel System: Does Anybody NOT Use It?

I think the fast travel system in Oblivion ruined the RPG experience for me. I NEVER use it anymore unless im travelling between cities (to simulate stilt strider travel)
I didn't use the fast travel system at first but only because I didn't know about it, I just walked or took my horse everywhere for the first 6 or so hours of play. At this point my character is mostly maxed out and I've seen most of the landscape, not to mention I've become less and less impressed by it as gaming environments advance. But when I got the Shivering Isles, I did a lot of walking too. I guess I understand the appeal of not using the fast travel, but a large part of the game for me after I finished the quests is training my mage in skills like swords and avoiding using magic. It makes each fight challenging, but I always have the backdoor of a giant-ass pile of spells into the face of whatever monster's harassing me at the time. I like exploring, but the fast travel system doesn't stop you from doing that, you still need to explore to find new outposts and caves, and you need to explore those. I just don't feel the need to re-explore the road from skingrad to the imperial city for the 400th time.
Rarely. I like walking through the woods, but late in the game when finishing up some of the less interesting quests I sometimes use it.
The only attribute enhancing spells I ever saw only governed skills and stats, I can't remember ever seeing something like- oh. Right. Agility. I see. Interesting. It didn't even occur to me that it could have such a pronounced effect. I'll have to go experiment some.health-bar said:
I walk around all of cyrodill every time I start it up again, then I use it after everythings been found. Sometimes I like to walk rather than use it. It's not cheating but you should at least see everything first. If you've bought Oblivion but "don't have the time to play games properly" it's not the right game for you.
In oblivion I tended to use fast travel only if I was in a rush or needed to go to some place on the other side of the map.
Side note, Fallout 3 also had a fast travel system that I used at every convenience. The world was extremely difficult to traverse and I would waste all my supplies by the time I got to my destination I wouldn't be able to do whatever I had planned on doing.
As for Skyrim, I'm either going to use it always, or not at all. The game looks very pretty and I can only imagine the spectacle of distant mountains and such. But If I learned anything from open world games, Fuck Mountains. Pain in the ass to navigate around or through and for not much gain.
Go ahead and ignore this. Sorry everyone.

You are never the only one.
