The only way i would enjoy this if it were like NWN2s second expansion that actually had an overland map and as a result gave rangers something to do.
Traveling on a map between small bite sized maps simply so your immersion isnt ruined is ridiculous.

Pay attention you're condescending again wink
Annoying for you is not annoying for everyone and once again... Even if it's not really the thread (there are connections) turn your imagination ON.

In the old games you stayed something like 30min to 1h/maps. I never said that would have been good for BG3. There is a big difference between loading screens every 30min and every 8 hours...

Try to think about something else, I'm sure you can do it wink
Are you spending a half hour on every map, every time? The majority of maps, the majority of the time? Or just the most currently relevant ones some of the time? Because I recall spending mere minutes (if that) on certain maps. Usually those I was just passing through to get elsewhere or just popping in to do some shopping or drop off a quest. Plus the random encounters create at least two loadscreens (one to get into the encounter map, one to get out), and that adds up as well.
