===No Mounts===
Nope, no horses, flying dragons, speedsters, land rovers, jet airplanes or other methods of transportation.

Instead, you play a super character, faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.  The run skill allows for faster travel than mounts in other games. You don't have to buy anything special to use it, just add points to your quickness and run skills.  With portals to far areas dotting the landscape, and the ability to run as fast as a Volkswagen going up a mountain pass, you will find you don't need a mount.
