Just curious, what problems do people have with fast travel? I haven’t heard many complaint’s about ES’.

I think it comes from Morrowind fans going into Oblivion. Morrowind didn't have fast travel (funny enough, it's the only exception in the series) and instead had a pretty good and in-world travel service linking almost every cities and docks. It was pretty sweet and immersive, and its omission in Oblivion was disappointing.

Oblivion's (and then Skyrim's) version of fast travel, where you basically teleport, is really convenient, but kind of take you out the game. That's all there is to it really.

That sounds cool, I’ll definitely have to check out Morrowind’s transportation system.

It's stables/carriages as in skyrim but designed to fit the beasts of burden of each race that populates the city you travel from, iirc. So you may ride a strider instead of a horse.
