Sp movement creepily fast

[soul_jak]

Aight so I’m mostly mp player and combat and movement over all is very slow compared to sp combat but some Ai run just as fast as horses specifically the khuzait militia veteran (I think that’s the name) runs just as fast as a tournament horse. It’s creepy yo looks like he’s speeded up

Wait until you see a Battanian army charge...

Well... I say army... but really the 3 or 4 nobles charge at super speed, followed at a distance by their slow army...

Yeah characters with high Athletics skill look as though they're being fast forwarded. It would make more sense for it to stop affecting speed beyond a certain point and give other benefits.

I have to agree on this. It is pretty immersion breaking and the animation doesn't like like a real person running. Fast Forward is actually a very go description of what it looks like on screen.

The actual speed is well within the range of human sprint ability. Like the horses, the problem is that they can keep it up all day long. I'm not a fan of stamina bars, but there's no denying that it's wrong to have everyone always able to operate at their max speed.

A bigger problem, though, is how unrealistically slow the max running speed is for most characters. No one in this game, human or horse, has a higher max speed than their real-life counterparts; most human characters (and the slower horses) have a lower max speed than their RL counterparts. About half, in the case of a low-level player character.

they could also make athletics increase acceleration instead of just speed itself
