Finally got a broom. Whee! Controls took a little getting used to, but I can fly, and it is just great.

Now it really hits that perfect open world game state for me, a big chunk of cool and varied geography full of stuff, and a convenient, fast and fun way to get from A to B in that geography without resorting to fast travel. I mean I will use fast travel sometimes, but I far prefer not doing that, as it keeps the world extant and relevant.

If this isn't the best thing I play this year, it's going to be one hell of a year.
