Yay i finaly got an Xbox 360 and i think we all know what game i got with....yes thats right...Oblivion. It's everything I dreamed it would b lol. So im here to start the horde of questions. Though i only got for now an it's about travel. Is their any fast travel options (like in morrowind there was boats and silt striders) because it takes ages to get from town to town and the horse does not really make any more progress then walking.
Rock on, Rock hard & don't look back!!!

Um, didn't you read the manual? Or a review or two of the program? I mean, clicking between towns on the over-map is one of the game's most celebrated (and controversial) features.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

yes. you simply go over the city and click.
but keep in mind it does take a lot out of the game.
cross country trips can be quite fun and loaded with items and equipment.
Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight?Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight? Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try? Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?

I would add that horses might seem slow while riding but that's mostly a matter of perception - the apparent speed of running in a more or less confined space like a dungeon or a city street seems comparable to the speed of riding in the wide open spaces. But try taking the same route (say, Imperial City to Bruma) once on foot and then once on horseback and you'll quickly gain an appreciation of the horse's speed.
Can the answer to this question be "No"?

Also go buy a black horse cause different horses grun faster.
Spoiler
the one you are given near the begining of the main quest is slow. the slowest in the game
the horses can be alot faster then on foot if you get the right breed. and to fast travel its really easy go to you world map and click on any location marker that you have already been to or on any town location marker i.e. skingrad west gate it does help for getting around but also recomend exploring every so often you would be amazed at what you will find.
Good luck and have fun I am sure this game will bring you hours of enjoyment.
I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods you will understand why I dismiss yours.
