Why is every Research Institute located so annoyingly from a fast travel point?
Most of the research only takes a few minutes, so if you want to actually keep them up you're constantly going back and forth between them. Every single one is not located next to a fast travel. The Scholastone one is probably the MOST conveniently placed and maybe the Gorthak one.
The Pororin one has no fast travel even in the village. The Dewhaven one requires you to scale the wall or run all the way around every single time. The Delysia one is a run from the fast travel and then in a building up stairs and through annoying tables. The Urdavah one needs you to port to a mountain nearby and fly over there.
Its irritating. It's the same with the Witches, none of the are next to a fast travel.
I'm sure we'll have the regular "you want the game to be easy and played for you" blah blah. But after ~400h having to constantly travel to these places it's just time wasting and annoying to not be able to go directly there.
