If they had added a motorcycle for fast travel you could role-play as Mad Max. Now THAT would be an awesome game!
You sir, are a genius, that would be awesome! Making your own cars out of scrap material would certainly nail down the futuristic post apocaliptic feeling... Something like Rage or something, that would be awesome indeed and more chances to specialize and role-play in Hardcore Mode i.e. finding a constant supply of gas for your car/motorcycle.
Yes, it would also give people something to do with their ridiculously high repair skills. I mean, you can put together and make
better a laser gatling gun, but you can't put a new transmission and some new wheels on a motorcycle?
Also, yes, the fast-travel is a bit of an immersion-breaker. The only saving grace it has is that you can't fast-travel until you've found the place, which means you're going to be exploring the world one way or another.
Funny story about fast-travel: I'd dressed up as one of Caeser's Legion so I could get into Cottonwood Cove for a bit of quest-related mischief. Anyways, after I was done, I fast-traveled to a different location,
that was affiliated with the NRC. Apparently they're shoot first, realize we fucked up royally later. Luckily, the auto-save hadn't auto-saved after the fast-travel, so I was able to complete my quest without being caught in some sort of paradox of die, reload, die again, rinse, wash, and repeat.
