Running backwards in Skyrim? Boooo!!

This is disappointing, especially after hearing reports over the past months from Bethsoft developers that they took running backwards out of the game. I was watching PC gameplay on IGN today and the player's mage was running backwards while firing off spells and knights in heavy armor doing the same.

 

Very disappointing that Bethsoft still hasn't fixed this exploit. Think a modder will fix this?

it's not an exploit, you just misunderstand, you can't sprint backwards.

you can backpedal in real life at jogging speed, not unrealistic at all.

 

Not over rocky frozen terrain while casting spells with monsters chasing me. Nobody can do that, not realistic at all.

I can. :biggrin:

Casting spells in the first place isn't realistic, I'd rather run backwards casting than look at the loading screen because my mage has taken a battering.

 

I know they left in running backwards for the console newbs but for us realistic/survival fans, I hope we can mod this out so moving backwards automatically is reduced to a walk.

I'm more worried about what the actual animation looks like, Bethesda characters all tend to move like they've got a broom stuffed up their rear end.

 

You can get a pretty good idea watching the IGN review videos. Just google Skyrim review PC IGN.

 

Yeah, the third person fighting looks a lot like melee weapons in Fallout 3 honestly. The combat looks a lot like the chicken dance seen in MMOs. Disappointing after reading how fluid and realistic Bethesda claimed it looked but it's the same ol' Bethsoft combat animations. Seems like they got a lot of other things right though.

Try this:

`Power Walk` forwards, at a brisk pace, it's pretty quick (one foot on the ground at all times!)

Now do it backwards, you can go pretty quick!

But I intend to learn to mod, I'v got lots of stuff I wanna change- and this is on the list!
