my question now does the food need to be in the animals inventory to eat it, or can he consume it from the riders inventory also?

I always assumed it had to be in its own inventory, but can't say I have any proof of it.

thanks, always wondered, never bothered to test

The food has to be in the animal's inventory, from where the animal will feed when hungry. If you keep it in your personal inventory, you can prioritize the food distribution among the packers/the mount.

Also, if you set your move speed to "walk", your animals shouldnt get hungry while travelling, meaning they are at full strength when you DO want that extra speed.
Havent done any time trials to check if Mount walking is faster/slower than Homin running, I suspect it is slightly slower tho.

Question about the portals:

1) I see on the loading splash screen that there are a bunch of different regions with lines connecting them. I assume the places where the lines end are where the portals are. Is it possible to cross into a region without using a portal? Just walk across the line? Or do you have to use a portal to enter a region?

Those portals are the only way to cross between the major lands:
Verdant Heights, Burning Desert, Witherings, Aedan Aqueous, Lands of Umbra, Wastelands, Abyss of Ichor, and Underspring.

There Is one that Is not marked on the Atys map, but Ill leave for others to "spoil" or for you to find out.

I was going to ask all of these questions. Glad I found this thread.

When waliking it is much slower than homin running (and insanely slow when swimming).

Also he continues consuming some food, but at very low rate.

It can seems strange but packers following you riding in 'walk' mode consume much more than the mount.
