So I just made past the entire intro and now with the miller. I see what you mean about fast travel, and even waiting/sleeping too. Good grief take a note from Bethesda games lol. But now I am deciding on whether to mainly stick with the main story, or try do everything. I'm thinking for $3.99, probably just the main quest with a few side quests here and there. But when KCD2 comes out next year, that I will probably grind it all out.

I don't think it's ever coming TBH, but I'll tell you that Jennifer Hale confirmed she was re-recording some of her dialogue, which could be to change it or just to create a digital version vs. what was recorded back in 2001/2002.  Could be the original recordings don't exist, thus the need to re-record or perhaps to "improve" it.  It's the improving that I fear.....

It's gotten to point with a lot of games nowadays, I dug up an old favorite of mine from 20 years ago, Rome Total War. Been trying some of my old favorite mods for it, couple of which were crashing a ton due to Windows 11 and whatnot lol, but got one mod to run pretty smooth finally. Graphics are awful, but the actual campaign map gameplay is still a blast. And those modders back then were beyond dedicated, as some of them mods took a ton of people to work together for free to make those, like 1000's of hours at minimum. Crazy dedication gamers had back in those years.
