If i can go from a major city from the one edge of the map to another city ( that is on the other end ), then it will be carriages all the way. Just fast travel seems like cheating and i will not use it again, now that we have an alternative.

Carraiges mostly, but fast travel when I just can't be arsed.

My intention is for my characters to walk, or use mounts as much as is practical. I am glad, however, to see the carriage option in the game, and will probably try it at least once to see how it works and much would probably prefer it to fast travel.

Carriages... good job Bethesda, not making the same mistake twice.
