My two cents, but...whether its weird how they are breaking the dynamic or not, its painfully slow to walk around the map. Realistically, it doesn't make sense to "ninja run" everywhere, but in a game where you're going to be doing quests and a lot of back and forth, speed is gonna help make the game more bearable. It looks like you're gonna have a lot of go from Point A to B, back to A, go to C. sort of deals in this, at its current movement, its a chore.
Not everyone uses cheat engine, and if you need to use a third party's tools to make a game fun, there is something fundamentally flawed with the game at that point.
