Increase Run Speed? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Wed Nov 19, 2008 2:46 pm

I've been playing a lot of Borderlands, and have gotten used to a much faster run speed. The speed in Fallout:New Vegas feels like a walk speed.

Is it possible to change a setting somehow to increase run speed?

What console? PC, xbox or PS3?

If you're playing on the PC then there is probably a mod for it or maybe a console command.

Other than that, there is the Survival dependant perk which boosts your movement while wearing up to a certain class of armour. (I've not mentioned specific details here to avoid spoilers).

If you're on PC you can use the GECK editor to add an increase run speed multiplier to a Trait, and then choose that Trait. The only problem is that this unbalances your character's ability to outrun enemies from the original intention.

You can also change the global run speed multiplier Setting, which I believe changes the run speed on a global scale...that is, not only for your character. I'm not sure if it just affects humanoids or every creature, however.

And if you're on a console system...I have no idea.

Are you sure your Running? Change to Third Person to make sure.

As stated, Agility and a Perk are the only ways to increase Running Speed within the game. I find that when Agility gets to 7 or 8, the run speed is quite acceptable.

The run speed in NV, even with high agility, is slower than most similar games I've played. Or at least, it feels very slow. I've played Boderlands so I understand the comment about it. The slowness could be more of an optical illusion, however, because of the vast scenic vistas giving you a sense of surroundings that move past very slowly (vs. being a small area/building), if that makes sense. Like when you drive a car down CA's southern I-5, you may be going 65mph+ but it still feels like forever.

I thought agility only affected your walking speed? I always take high agility so I guess I never really noticed. The perk doesn't even make that much of a difference.

Agility DOES NOT affect running speed. It affect only reload and weapon holstering speed. Only way to rise speed is taking perk which raise it by 10% if you wear light armour.

Waling and Running. I have not checked when Walking, but I am not sure it should increase the speed of that gait.

Yes, it does effect running speed. Set your Agility to 2 or 3 and set it to 7 or 8 and you will see the difference. Going from 5 to 6, you will not notice much of a difference.

Fastest speed? Holster your weapon, have agility all the way to ten and you'll be like Flash.

» Wed Nov 19, 2008 10:34 am

I wonder...

Somebody needs to give this a go.

10 AGL, Light Armor, and 'the' perk and see how fast you truck.

» Wed Nov 19, 2008 5:58 pm

I never wear anything heavier than light armor.... and you go pretty fast with 10 agi and holster your weapon.

After a while you get used to the run speed in the game. Also, it feels much faster when indoors (that optical illusion I was talking about) so if you sped it up too much for outdoor sensation, indoors you'll feel like you're flying.

You know what we need? youtube videos, one of a character with agility 1, and one with agility 10. Running the same course, then we can see who gets further in the same amount of time.

Please someone do this.

My high agility character sure as hell felt like they were running much faster and I felt I could outrun some monsters that previously would always catch me if I bolted.

But I have heard so much information on both sides I still am not sure. I feel like AGI does effect run speed, but I could be literally imaging my characters run speed is faster.

I would love a definitive answer on this topic.

sorry dbl post, forum was buggin out

Using the GECK you can see how each SPECIAL stat modifies your character. Looking through that (even double checked to make sure 1.02 did not change this) I can tell you Agility does not affect your movement speed in any way.

A to B in 7.7 Seconds 10 Agility Running
A to B in 7.7 Seconds 1 Agility Running
A to B in 30.7 Seconds 10 Agility Walking
A to B in 30.7 Seconds 1 Agility Walking

The greatest difference in speed was 1 second, but my game skipped. Every run I did was off by .2 seconds at the most. So unless it only affects you when you have too much weight or something agility does not affect speed at all. I just left docs house and had my weapon holstered.

Guess Agility is another illusion then.

All I really know is that increasing speed via GECK by .20 is more than enough to feel a lot faster. Even the .10 like the Perk does is quite noticeable. I didn't try to find out what speed would cause my pc to crash, haha.
But after testing that out a while back, I went back to default because of the balance thing. I didn't want everything in the game to be running faster, and I didn't want only myself to be able to outrun everything faster.

There is a perk, with a name I do not immediately remember, that is available at levels approximately 1 - 15, that, with a requirement I do not immediately remember (not wearing heavy armour, maybe), that increases run speed ... I think.

Horray for vagueness!

My son always trips on how much faster my chars are than his. Perhaps I had that speed perk going.

I believe I am joining the "Agility does not effect run speed" club.

It is cool, you get a membership card AND there's a handshake as well.
