I'd love to have an option for the carriages to have real time travel, as well. It worked well in Red Dead Redemption. Love how Red Dead Redemption did the whole thing. I'd love for there to be quests that actually make riding the horse seem like a fun option. Something like the advantages for riding a horse with someone being having the rare opportunity to learn more about the quest along the way in a more realistic way. People don't just stand there talking when they have some super important thing they need you to do if they weren't standing there to tell you first.
It just makes more sense to have the option to hear the information about the task while walking or riding to the place where it must be done. This is only if the quest giver has you follow them.
I agree with this, defo. And + I find it really meh when you climb up on the carriage and that man starts sharing information about your destination, or mentiones some legend, but usually even before he finishes, loading screen appears and ruins it.
