I can understand the need for fast travel, ok add such a feature.
However bg is about being a long walking (mostly) journey, so I suggest that when you select for example a fast travel button in the menu, you switch to new location following for example a quick black screen and maybe mention something like "The party took ... to reach destination..." (and possibly encounter bandits like before)
Oooooooh, I like that. Risk & Reward.
Maybe we are faster by fasttravel, maybe we are slower by having to fight.
And the further the destination, the higher the chance to be attacked at certain crossroads etc.
Whatever may come to us in the future, I just hope the Druidgrove waypoint will be put in front of the first vendor we encounter when we head in straight.
This waypoint on the outside is SO >BEEP< ANNOYING.
All I want is to sell my >beeeeep< trash!!!
