That "no fast travel" rule, I had it for long, I hate fast traveling. You will be missing out on a lot of interactions and it will get boring fast if you fast travel. But, only if you have mods that populate more the roads of Skyrim, or can go from town to town not seeing a soul, even literally.
But roleplaying makes the game always more interesting, but not only a bit harder, that is why I love to do it. For example, I have a character who believes that every possession is from either the earth or the people who has it, so no stealing or picking stuff that are found in a dungeon. He can only buy stuff or have stuff given to him. So making money is pretty hard. And that is great gameplay.
I will follow you, for the chance that you post something about it.
