As I understand it, from what we've already been told, D3 will be one big open world...with the positions of towns fixed, and the dead space between towns having some randomized tiles to provide new encounters but without changing the overall pathway from one town to the next.
I think there will still be "acts" as in, a consistent geographic theme, but you could walk from one act to the other without needing to rely on a cutscene...
So...you would have to walk through all the transitions from start to finish, but you can always jump to a place you've already been using a waypoint for easy access. I think this is the same way it is in Titan Quest.
This. Exactly what I meant. You could probably have a cutscene like in D2, but to walk from one end of the other you wouldn't need to take a boat, take a caravan ride, etc. That would be fun.

I like this too. It would be cool to pay some gold and actually be on the boat and watch the scenery as you move to another area. But wait... what if you could BUY your own boat and in certain areas we have flying piranhas that attack you and you kill them and gain experience. And in one area there is a big hidden monster that causes damage to your boat and then eats it! This could be great!
edit: how would a random map generator work in conjunction with an open world? Sounds like too big of a problem to me. If they could still deal with the random map generator and the open world then i would be impressed. That would be awesome!
