The carriage in Whiterun or Falkreath would get you to Riften without all the running. On a side note, this thread has been most enlightening.
...ahhhh...good one! And thanks.

I like silly threads.
Now that my new dark elf is out in the middle of literally nowhere, I kinda like the way this game feels. Like I said, he's escaped Morrowind, escaped the volcano. It makes sense that he winds up on a road and has no idea where it goes. He's going to follow this road, though, when I start his game up next. It's the first man-made thing he's found.
Wouldn't
you follow it in that situation? I know I would.
