creatures ragdolling as the cart touches them, completely bizarre terrain sticking, it's amazing

[Darkmere]

I guess I can understand the immersion factor... a little.. but after you've walked somewhere once to discover that place, are you folks really so inundated with gaming time that you want to spend it watching basically a cutscene of walking the same road you've been on already?

The idea just seems so... bizarre. I'd rather be playing the game than watch the game walk for me.

It's just that it's a brain-turn-off feature. If I'm playing a game with a big world, I want to have a reason to actually consider the terrain, not just click the closest quick travel point on a map and then walk toward the quest marker until I'm there. The game should be in the world, too, not just the hitting of skeletons.

Well yeah, but even in morrowind you only ever considered the terrain from you/your destination to the nearest silt strider or boat and back, and the travel net was vastly more pervasive than in skyrim.
I mostly use quick-travel to go back and forth between whatever dungeon i cleared last on my wanderings and the last town, so that I can sell some of my huge load of freakishly heavy swords (cough cough bethesda) and then return to where I left off.

I mean, it's almost like these games are trying to waste my time.

They're going to add autorun. It's the logical next step down from GPS waypoints and fast travel.

autorun was bound to Q in oblivion

Wrong kind of autorun. I'm talking about BDO-style autorun where you set a waypoint, press a key, and your character autonomously paths to that point (or as near as they can manage).

Do me a quick favor: try stuffing a sword into a backpack. Now try stuffing seventeen in.

Who says they are using a backpack.

There aren't even any backpacks in vanilla skyrim.

Your personal inventory dimension can only take so much weight, directly proportional to how buff you are.

[Egan_BW]

Yes, the size of your glorious muscles projects a hole through 4-d space, creating a pocket hammerspace.

Though on this topic, I wish that more games made it clear exactly where you're keeping your inventory. Strangely few player characters even seem to have a backpack.

[Persus13]

Your muscles actually are your inventory. That's why you can eat and drink food and potions instantly, they just inject directly into your bloodstream

Who says they aren’t?

[WillowLuman]

It's the same storage technique for getting 100 bottles of skooma through muleport security
