Encounters

There appear to be two types of encounters while traveling from one location to another: scripted and pseudorandom. Regardless of the type of encounter, it is advisable to thoroughly explore/loot the area as these types of areas are generally not revisitable in any sense of the word.

Scripted

As the name suggests, these occur after having triggered some flag - note that the game may overtly advertise this fact to you sometimes, but other times it will not. Typically, this will be quest-related, gift-related, or companion-related (having a specific party member at a specific time).

Pseudorandom

These encounters are typically isolated battles (an occasional item, conversation, etc), such as encountering an allied patrol battling darkspawn or getting jumped by darkspawn yourself. They have no directly discernible impact on the game, but it is a good opportunity for XP and other goodies.

Bugs

When leaving the Camp (and occasionally other places), if the player selects "Back to Area Map", then goes back to the World Map, every location will be greyed out and travel will be impossible. The solution is to quit the World Map, and reenter the relevant transition.
