I am exploring but I still use fast travel (but not often)

Tonight I used it when I did a quest and I had looted all that was available to loot (to raise funds for my new hom) and I really did not want to have to walk there and back to collect the loot, so I fast traveled then.

I have really enjoyed not using fast travel as Skyrim is so beautiful to look around ^^

Honestly get a life.

So far, I've only fast-travelled one because certain someones kept running into a Thalmor patrol and dying, but fast-travelling magically avoided that otherwise-inevitable encounter. Other than that, no fast travel other than carriages. No fast-waiting either.

I don't use fast travel, and my character doesn't use gold so I don't use the carraige ride either. Also my character doesn't have a compass, so the opacity is all the way down.

OR say you're in on the Westside of the Map (Windhelm/Riften) but you need to go ALL the way to the Eastside of the map (Markarth).. cases like that I often FT. But I'm going to try and not FT with my new char.
