Do you like fast travel in video games?

[the-pi-guy]

i agree legend that fast travel is a band aid for poor world design.

i also agree with Pi that travel can be tedious if all you want to do is travel to a place and it takes 10 minutes to get there even with a mount.

i generally disagree with large open world being a good thing.  smaller but denser with a good focus on exploration/discovery is better to me.  

Yeah, large empty open world's are bad.  

Density is more important than size i think.  A small dense open world is better than a large empty one.  
Walking 15 minutes with nothing to note just makes it tedious.  

I personally like large open world's as long as they have the density to make it feel like there's a reason to be that large.
