I keep wanting to do a Viking raider type of playthrough, fighting and moving across the map on foot with my "Viking" hoard. I've tried in the past but never stuck with it. On foot I feel so slow, even with putting points into Athletics I feel like I might see some speed improvement if I run side by side with my troops for at least 50 meters, but nothing noteworthy. I don't expect to run like Usain Bolt with heavy armor on, but does athletics have a noticeable affect if I just stick with it?
And yeah, I know I could just ride a horse in combat then dismount when I get into fights, but that just feels clunky and I'd like to stay away from any horses other than pack animals and horses my foot soldiers can ride across the map.
