Yeah. It will take a good long haul to walk across the entire landmass. The majority will get bored. I have vowed not to use Fast Travel unless on a time-critic quest (if any) or if I'm just showing my visiting friend a feature of a town or something. Other than that, it's the long haul. Shooting up deer and goblins for loot along the way and navigating the forests to reveal more map and more artifacts.
