REQ: A fundamental change in movement speed

[WaRi0]

So the vanilla game thinks that walking at a brisk pace is "sprinting" and requires the use of action points which is ridiculous. It also thinks most humans walk at a pace so slow that it puts movie zombies to shame. I propose these changes:

 

1. Walking at the faster pace is the norm and requires no action points.

2. The Slower walking speed is reserved for Stealth mode

3. Each rank of the Stealth Perk makes stealth mode faster, similar to how it was in Fallout 3/FNV.

3. Running still requires the use of action points as in vanilla.

 

Thanks and may the fourth be with you! :D

So walk=stealth? Or walk+crouch=stealth?

No I meant the slowest speed is for stealth only, eliminating "fast" stealth unless you had the stealth perks

Okay so

 

Walk= no stealth without perk

 

Run = no stealth without perk

 

Crouch+run= no stealth without perk

 

Crouch+walk= stealth

 

The way you were talking it sounded like you wanted the speed changed from the walk/run defaults which is more tricky.

Well, it gets split kinda weird. By default, walking/running are toggled via Caps Lock and sprinting is activated through shift.

 

"Walking" - Feels solid to me as a casual, "not in a hurry" pace. It could have more credit toward being stealthy, though.

"Running" - As a middleground between walking and sprinting, this could be maybe just a tad faster, but it works for what it is. Any slower, though, and it would be called jogging.

"Sprinting" - I'm not entirely sure how this translates to a brisk walk to you, unless your footsteps are 8 feet apart or something. Either way, could be a little faster.

 

I was thinking you just confused running and sprinting, but running doesn't use AP unless you're overencumbered. As for your changes:

1. "Always run" is an option in the settings menu, or you can use Caps Lock to switch between walking/running.

2. Stealth is what crouching is for, though I agree it should get more functionality in reducing your chance of being detected.

3. I can agree with this.

4. Running doesn't require AP, but sprinting does.

 

If I've misunderstood you, I apologize.
