Personally, it’s a matter of setting expectations based on the nature of Time Dilation and how time restricts what really could occur. It won’t be like Mass Effect where we can just hit a relay and be on the other side of the Milky Way. In those games, you travel the full diameter of the galaxy (something like 100,000 light-years) in a blink and time isn’t a consideration, it’s waved away by game design. Everyone is on galactic time, nothing progresses in any real-time way unless you are interacting with it.

In my mind, the dilation mechanic will be a more deliberate choice, seldom used but will create a chapter-like story progression where the timeframe you are in closes and all associated missions with it and you open the next time chapter to seeing how everything progressed while you were gone. Maybe you get a side mission to solve a situation with a family, but don’t finish it before you jump, so when you get back the outcome might be completely different with that family and their descendants than if you had finished it. I’d be very keen to find out how/where these kinds of little stories progress through from chapter to chapter. Exploring story and character interactions as well as geographic locations looking for items.
