Every RPG set in a massive open world expects you to spend a large amount of time exploring its multitude of nooks and crannies, but most of them also let you take a load off, zipping between previously visited locations instantaneously. Robust fast travel options have long been standard, but while they are undoubtedly convenient, they remove some of the magic of exploration. Not so in Dragon's Dogma 2, however, where fast travel is a treat that must be earned.
Every time you try to skip a journey, then, there are some caveats. It's a hassle. And that's great! What makes these fast travel limitations a positive thing is the liveliness of the world you're temporarily inhabiting. Even when you're walking down routes you've explored a dozen times already, there's a good chance you'll encounter something new.
Starfield was one of the last massive RPGs I played before embarking on my adventure in Dragon's Dogma 2, and while Bethesda has historically put a lot of emphasis on exploration, it's one of the weakest parts of its cosmic adventure because it relies so heavily on fast travel, expecting you to zip around at faster-than-light speeds. You've got all this space to explore, but so much of it is devoid of life, so you might as well skip it.
