If the player has to cover lots of ground, make it interesting or make it fast. This is the only reason I don't force everyone I meet to play Morrowind.
Boots of Blinding Speed, and some creative use of mark, recall, and the transportation systems in the game, and there's hardly any dull time.

Little things like that can make a big difference - in atmosphere, too, not just game mechanics.
