I'll make it short. While travelling on the world map, you should be able to SKIP any encounter that you are able to without any notice, I'll explain.
Fe. after replication, you want to get somewhere quickly, but you can't, even though your outdoorsman is high, you always have to skip all the damn encounters. It's especially annoying if you alt-tab a lot in fullscreen mode and your window starts blinking because of some scorpions. It's f**** tedious!
My proposal here is that, in a corner of the interface there should be a little option to tick, "If possible, skip any encounter", that'll work as an automatic NO after the window with the option to go into an encounter plops up.
Cheers.
