I've recently noticed that after I stop moving sometimes my character's still walking on the spot. It takes a few jiggles of the joypad to stop him. Anyone else have this? If so what causes it?

Faendal and J'zargo are masters of running in place aka the "Running Man" dance

1rst case: it isnt caused by the game sometimes the joy stick stucks it happend to me some times

2nd case: its a little glitch that sometimes causes your player to move around by his own for a limited time(its like he\she is trying to escape from your control

This issue gets reported on the game when using a controller, even on the PC. Not everyone has it, and I think it is more a worn out anolog stick than anything else. As long as you are not moving forward, like has happened to some, then it won't affect the game, like you moving off a cliff.

Try using a different controller and see if it goes away.

This happens to me too. Worn out stick.
