Yeah but even then a thief needs some sort of advantage. I'm sure Dovhakiin isn't the only person in Skyrim who's mastered the artful skill of sprinting, or as some call it.."running faster" =P
I repeat my question from another post
Without some way to make yourself faster than the average bear, how will thieves outrun guards?
Edit: On that token, that is something to be taken into consideration by the Devs. on OB it didn't really matter cause if you resisted arrest every guard in Cyrodill would flock to you. Even if you hoofed it from Bruma to Leyawiin you'd still have Bruma dudes chasing you, plus probably a few imperial soldiers. But with the new dialog system and (hopefully) no psychic guards, it would probably be a lot more..opportune to try to run.

If you want to run fast then sprint.

Again, not the same thing at all.

It's actually basically the same thing as it was in Morrowind, except this time when you run and it drains your fatigue, your not moving at walk speed.

I didnt like that he said Athletics was not an important game mechanic or something like that. With no speed attribute, they would have to associate overall speed with Stamina, but since there are no general or attribute perks mentioned, its hard to tell how it would "level". A fixed sprint speed for all of the races doesnt cut it. And no mention of acrobatics really at all, since they show a Khajiit jumping around in that video while Todd is talking about athletics.

I would assume its a fixed speed for walking,running and sprinting. If you raise stamina you can sprint for a longer period of time. Athletics was a absurd ability because everyone had to do it. I agree with Todds reasoning.

Perhaps your movement speed will be based on what kind of armour you're wearing. Unarmoured = fastest speed, Light Armour = medium speed, Heavy Armour = slowest speed

Thats the dumbest thing they could do.

Wow, this is already turning into another attributes thread.

Give it a rest guys, you can complain/moan you want, but it won't get you anywhere. Let's talk about the positives!

*ahem* IMPROVED crime system (Which I'm 99.9% sure means NO PHYSIC GUARDS!!!!)

I am talking about base speed. And base jump, like how it Fallout it does not change.

But why? Why does there need to be a variance in movement speed beyond walk, run and sprint? If you went back to changing the speed at which you run like before, you either have to make it where it's unrealistic run speed (what it has been in past TES games) or you make it so that it stays in the realm of reason but then it is so negligible there is no point to have the speed increase choice. It's a very slippery slop.

Yet it does change in Fallout. Plus thats Earth with humans.


Again, it is realistic for Nirn.


I dont want to get off topic, I just didnt like what he said about that.

Really base jump changes in FO? Wow it must be a small change I never noticed. Is it based on Weight?

And what happens in Fallout does matter you can see were game mechanics are heading by looking at FO.

Fallout=/=TES

Fallout had VATS, is that a mechanic we are heading towards, or how about anything Fallout? Changing and breaking TES lore becasue of Fallout makes no sense.

I read in one of the IGN interviews that anything associated with athletics would be under stamina, which leads me to believe that if you increase your stamina, you will run faster, longer, etc. I'm not sure whether to assume strength will be under stamina too since it also deals with athletics, or if they'll just stick it under health. I think speed being under stamina is a safe bet though. So that's how you would increase speed I'm thinking.

Perks,Stealth system,dialouge,hand crafted world,variety in towns,scaling system,etc

Todd even said SR is like a sequel to both Oblivion and Fallout 3. They are both open world rpgs, there is a lot of cross over gameplay wise.

So what was jump based on in Fallout 3?
