How many places can you travel to on the actual World Map? Not the area map, the actual world map? What's that you say, we have 0 overland world map travel locations in EA?
I listed two such games in my first post on this, NWN and NWN 2. Dragon Age Inquisition has a really long bridge that you have to repair, that leads to three dragons, with no area transition. So, let me know when you walk across that bridge, and wind up in Waterdeep. Until then, since everything is contained in one area map, there's no need for a transition.
