Yep. Paying supplies and actually having it in universe. Buying passage via caravans. Passage of time. Bringing supplies. Like morrowind but more expensive.
When I first shared the announcement of Outward 2 to my partner, his first words were, "fast travel, please". Lol. Love your highly technical diagram. Agreed, and thanks for sharing! ❤
Great video! I hope we get some good discussion and get to hammer out some great points of inspiration for the devs! If I were to suggest something that should be improved with this idea is that: In a world fully congested by bandit outposts, reestablishing trade outposts would be huge! This contradicts the concept of Outward. The point is that the player is normal person who can be part of something bigger and can sometimes do great deads. The way this is structured makes it seem like the player is a one-man army similar to Skyrim going out and fixing the world.
Id want caravans that travel in real time through the maps that you can hop in, where you can get abushed or wtv, its faster travel instead of instantly teleporting
I had been thinking Outward 2 could go for a more in depth quest for a traveling trader. Mainly because some resources needed for specific food and potions are basically unavailable in certain regions and I thought, isn't that what the travelling merchant is for, to supply merchants with good from other regions? Maybe there should be a quest for it. One though i had for it is a craftable magic door, limited to a two way link of course so you can put your door down in a town, the put one down in a dungeon and use it to travel from that dungeon to the town, or from one town to another. Just one door can only link to one other door. Now because its outward and thats a bit too much quality of life it requires an item that is quite difficult to get your hands on and a few other rare items to craft it, and requires mana to create the permanent link (ergo if you opt out of magic you opt out of the door). So it is a very limited resource but cool and handy, not to mention super wizardy. Perhaps it also requires a quest to learn the spell to create that link.
Hi Dude ! yeah that could be a very nice feature without killing the "Outward spirit" . As well, I was thinking - while seeing big displays in front of some inns - that once the main faction quest is finished, you could become -if needed - sort of Bounty hunter with rewards that could be the skills you get in other factions ... ;) Just thinking .... Peace !!
I mean, there already is fast travel, you just have to pay to go to Harmattan, then wait until the caravan is going where you want. But honestly, I hope they don't change it, fast travel pulls too much away from the experience.

Agree! Maybe have an option to take a nap on the caravan after paying to pass the time until you get to the next city.

In Outward 2 I would love to see at map indicator so you can see where you are in the map.
after playin outward several times over fast travel would be nice as an unlock for completion, first time through i think should be played the OG way
I loved Outward but the lack of fast travel wore on me after awhile. I'd rather it be in in some restrictive way than not at all.
