Fast Travel (Possible Spoilers - Eps. 1)

[Trasd]

I don't know if it could be because of fast travel being on, my system being fast, or if I just didn't notice it before, but I missed some text and I don't want to miss part of the story.

I'm north of Oskahold, down in the tunnels looking for the Shaman. In the south of the map, there is a large lake and a road leading around the east side. I took it. Briefly, before I could read it, during the transition from one map to the next, some text popped up so quickly, I barely saw (I think) "...four months..." before it was gone.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind not sitting at a loading screen unnecessarily, but like I said, I don't want to miss any of the story. Because of this, I have a couple of questions:

Is there ever any pertinent text displayed during a map transition?

If not, then never mind and thanks for reading (please let me know, though)!

But, if there is, can this mechanic be reconsidered?

Thanks! I'm now further, by far, than I've ever been and, I'm having a blast.

-- Nope

All of the text is flavor text. Some of it is nice to know and it adds depth to the world, but none of it is necessary.

All text on the loading screens are flavor and world description.

They will come up again, they are on a pretty short loop.

Will ST2 have the same feature?

I don't know.

Hmm. That is taken care of in rumors in ST1. If there are loading screens for sectors in ST2 it would be cool to have a little something on the screen, but not overlapping with whatever is stocked in ST2's rumor system

I like the rumors in ST1 being in the Spice Halls. Sort of makes the bars feel like real places.

Thanks for the answers. I thought so, but I wanted to confirm.
