A few questions

[Frogmander]

First off about Carriages.
1. Do you see your ride on them, or is it just like fast travel?
2. If above is the former, is it optional?
3. If you can ride the Carriage, will there be NPCs to talk to?

I hope you can, and if you can I hope there are things to do while on them

Now for talking to NPCs
1. Since its in real time, how will selecting the options work? Usually a mouse cursor would appear but you wouldint be able to look around if one did appear
2. Will your character finally have a voice, or are you still just going to hear the people you talk to talking to themselves?

Just asked to Pete Hines and he said you can't ride carriages.

So its basically fast travel that you have to pay for...lame.

Pretty much what was in Morrowind. A lot of people are happy that it's back to this way. Truthfully, I preferred the Oblivion system. But then again this is how it was done in both Daggerfall and Morrowind, it could be seen as a part of the series.

[Bonfy]

Yeah it is. Only to main cities. You can normally fast travel to places you've already visited without the need of carriages tho. Up to you.

Eh, hopefully someone will release a mod at some point making it actually TAKE you there, as if you are riding in it not just fast traveling :/ These final days of waiting at going to be torture..

Sorry I misunderstood what you asked in your original post. I thought you wanted to know if you can drive carriages, and that's what i asked to Pete Hines. My bad.
Can't say anything about seeing you riding them.

Buy a horse if you want to "see" the ride there. Carriages have always been another method of "fast travel".

[Bonfy]

Pete Hines just confirmed that you load to your destination when using them.

I may sound like a bit one note, but:

Spoiler:

I want to point out that from the leaked opening, you ride in a carriage. While it was clearly non-interactive, NPCs do talk to you. It's currently unknown if this is in the rest of the game.

Spoiler:

That was more like a wagon, IMO.. A "prisoner's wagon", if you will.

Spoiler:

Still, it meets the technical description of a carriage. While it doesn't mean that carriage travel where you ride across the country side will be in the rest of the game. The opening cinematic shows that it is a possibility.

Havent read the last few messages due to them all being entirely spoilers, lol

[AKB]

It's about as major of a spoiler as saying that:

Spoiler:

Bruce Willis was a ghost the whole time.

Or:

Spoiler:

Rosebud was a sled.

How about this, the playable character has been confirmed to have been seen riding in a carriage.

[Frogmander]

Well that does confirm what I saw was an opening XD I remember seeing you ride in a carriage but that was all. Didnt know if it was just a one time scripted event or if it was something you can always do.
