I know that reasoning contradicts the one about the camera position. That was a completely separate point, meant to show that I am amenable to the suggestion of Blake perhaps travelling to another continent, as long as it is handled correctly. In my opinion, dumping us in the middle of her journey would be incorrectly handling her departure to Mistral. However, starting from Vale and travelling to Mistral with a small bit of information at the beginning of the journey to at least let us know what she is doing would be alright.

Also, Vale is sort of in shambles. Beacon is overrun with Grimm. There's a hel of a lot to do in Vale, even if she does it whilst avoiding her friends. She's avoiding showing Adam anyone that she is close to so he doesn't go after them, not avoiding helping out around the City with the rebuild, and perhaps helping out with the attempts to reclaim Beacon, or at least control the amount of Grimm that come into Vale from the school. That would require a 24 hour watch set up to make sure they don't come into town while their defences are so badly shaken.

That could be one reason for why she hasn't left Vale yet, despite having no real prison holding her in place. After all, her reasoning could be "It was my brothers in arms who did this, I have to at least try to pay for their sins".
