With Dragonborn, the initial trip to Solstheim must be by boat. With Dawnguard, fast travel can also be done between Castle Volkihar and the main island of Skyrim by boat. The Hearthfire DLC allows the Dragonborn to hire a carriage for their homestead, which will also go to smaller cities and towns ( Darkwater Crossing, Dragon Bridge, Ivarstead, Karthwasten, Kynesgrove, Old Hroldan Inn, Riverwood, Rorikstead, Shor's Stone, and Stonehills). Travel via carriage is limited to major cities, regardless if they have been visited or not before, with a fee relative to distance and the size of the destination city (for example it costs more to travel from Whiterun to Dawnstar than from Windhelm to Solitude even though the distance between Windhelm and Solitude is greater). Fast travel via world map is free, but can only be done to a location that has already been discovered. When using fast travel, the time elapsed may be longer than the time it would have taken to run to the destination, especially when the distance is short.įast Travel can be done via the world map or by using one of the carriages stationed near the main gate of many cities. The travel takes place almost instantaneously in real-world time through a loading screen, but in game time will still pass by as if the Dragonborn had walked there. It is a way of quickly "teleporting" to any previously discovered location.
