It's really really annoying to be the local Skyrim gofer and fetch useless stuff from one side ofthe province to the other. I sometimes use fast travel, like when I already visited such location. LOL half the responses are clearly guys who didn't read your post. I'll just zap to the nearest location instead of having to load the last save. I'll maneuver around enemies and sometimes end up getting wedged into a spot I can't get out of by normal means(jump/sprint/etc.).

*I don't disable it because it's a good way to get unstuck.

Why do you need external enforcement of a personal choice? If you don't want to use it, just don't use it. Another case of something the player could do themselves, yet they claim to need it. I've seen similar attitudes for similar situations in other games. Even short distances can eat up a huge amount of in game time because of the pathing and movement speed. I never use it myself* because Frostfall and needs mods will really screw you.

People say they need to disable it, even though it's an action that you have to diliberately do yourself. This is something I see come up every so often, that makes no sense to me.
