I was going through the opening tutorial stuff since I only just re-installed the game. Just after the first ambush, when the captain is killed, my character starts moving super slow, like I'm carrying too much stuff. I have no idea why, as I'm only carrying 34/250 right now.

Is it because I picked up the attackers Robes or something?

Are you Sneaking?
When you Sneak, your character crouches as you move, and you move slower.

Nope, not sneaking at all. When I switch to 3rd person view and start running, it shows me running in really slow-motion. I've toggled Sneak on and off several times, but it doesn't seem to affect the speed at all.

Well, since I don't seem to have permission to edit my own post, I'll just post this up here.


For some reason, exiting and restarting the game fixed it, but it happened again after I got some new quests. maybe it's the auto-save function that's doing it?

are you hitting caps lock? and walking

Doesn't matter, I found the cause. I walked over some pieces of a broken pillar and it started doing it again. Did the whole exit and restart, walked over part of a broken grate and it did it again. Something to do with the broken scenery is causing the bug.
