Taking into account the unfinished nature the game permeates, I don't see why there should be so many restrictions as to where I can and can't fast travel. All it does is restrict my ability to quickly explore and touch on various aspects of the game. 

Rivers - As long as my companions and I have adequate swimming skills

Mountains - This one's a biggie. Condersing that mountains aren't even really mountains as of the current version, there's really no reason to restrict travel here. It's even more aggravating when you can clearly see roads connecting the various mountain sites that still can't be fast traveled upon.

You could make an argument for goblin sites as well, but I think that restriction is still applicable for the foreseeable future.

Allow ocean fast travel
Allow fast travel over mountains once someone has reached its peak.

What are the chances that your companions have adequate swimming skills...

Another good check would be if you and your companions can fly, which sorta counts for mountains and rivers.

It is already possible to travel through pits and fortresses, at least if you approach them from the west:

First of all, thanks, Bumber!  I love it when some nifty searcher searches up some previous conversations.

I've read them all, and here's what I think would work:

Brooks, as they are now, would be crossable in Fast Travel mode.

Small rivers should be crossable in Fast Travel mode if and only if you and your companions (if any) are Adequate Swimmers.

Large rivers should not be crossable in Fast Travel mode at all, unless frozen.

Frozen rivers should be crossable in Fast Travel mode, but when terrain affects speed, you should be required to slow down a touch, to avoid slipping and sliding across.  Perhaps.

You should be able to Fast Travel as long as you are not too close to a river, with "too close" being moved a lot closer to the river.

To sum it up: two changes:

1. More rivers crossable in Fast Travel mode

2. Frozen rivers crossable in Fast Travel mode
