» Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:15 am I used to fast travel all the time, and I often still do fast travel if I see tons of things I don't want to pass through(like three feral trolls close enough together so that they will know if I attack one, but far enough apart that my fireballs don't hit all of them), and can't spend all day going cross country.
Point in case: Mouth Of The Panther to Kvatch.
I used to fast travel this path, and I knew that it took me a few hours more then I'd want to spend, so I once decided that I needed to rush one day, since one of my quests said I had three days to do some stuff before it was too late to do it. I knew that the fastest way to get somewhere is it just go straight, and I looked at my map, and sure enough, the fastest route was right over the water. I cast a few spells, and booked it across the lake on my horse and just kept running, not even stopping to fight the big ass spiders attacking me(stupid paralyze spell they have, being ranged and potent). It took me maybe three hours to get there, and that's with time scale 30. I even had time to chat with the NPCs there, stock up on repair hammers, and dive through the gate there before the day was over. I didn't take the same route back, since I fast traveled, and even though it was just a bit after midnight, when I got back to where I started, it was mid day(I think. Didn't check the clocks well enough, really).
The TAS dungeons should be easier for you, though, since they're mostly levelled. 
Delayed in a different way: finished some quests, discovered some places in the world. They aught to be exclusive, that is one just have to do one or two of the things not all. Let's say you got 20 places that counts as discovering the world, one is enough to trigger the quest, you don't have to discover all 20. Quests may not be optimal; can't say I can think of any that in any way connects to the start of this mod. An other trigger might be reaching a certain skill - lv 30 in merchant e.g.
