The map seems to be pretty empty and useless to me. I've figured out how to look around, but there's not a lot of information anywhere on it. Not only that, but I can't seem to fast travel anywhere.
Wasn't there supposed to be fast travel of some sort? Or at least between cities or something? Where is that?

Also, will the map fill in as I wander about? There's just nothing on it right now and I don't really get it.

will you shut up already

Yea this thread posted twice for some reason. I didn't do that on purpose. Sorry bro.

you can only fast travel to places you visited already

so in the begining that won't be much. The map starts to fill up as soon as you discover things
