Since I only want these two destinations, is that the way to go? Is there a cheaper rtw ticket that restricts u to a few stops? Just wondering how to accomplish this?

4.5k what? Dollars, Euros, Pounds?

You can do an ex-OSL RTW for about $5,600. the benefit is easy flight changes if plans change along the way as well as potentially enhanced earnings (D fare vs. I, R, or X fares). Can fly on the airlines you really want vs. the cheapest (Example QR from OSL to USA, and Japan to Europe). You can also add more stops should you want to. You can likely also just end your trip wherever you are in the EU vs. actually flying the final leg back to OSL.

I don't know if any of those points are worth a bit more or not, but something to consider.
