Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Add a walk toggle.

Do people realize how much better this game is when you don't constantly jog everywhere? It's crazy to me that such a simple feature as PRESS X TO WALK isn't in the game. I assume most BG3 core fanbase are RP lovers, so go ahead and encumber yourself (or get this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/441) and experience the way this game should play. These maps are relatively small and super dense, beautiful to admire at a normal, reasonable movement pace. And even if you aren't slowing down to enjoy the scenery, walking makes your whole party look so much more normal and natural than the goofy stutter-start jog when you're only moving two feet in a tiny room. Jog across the Shadowlands, sure - but for everywhere else, try walking.

(and the terrible walk option on kbm right now is basically nonfunctional so you can forget about that entirely).

Or just keep the mouse pointer close to your character and he/she will walk. I want a sprint toggle myself.

I am personally not a huge fan of the camera system but I admit that part of it is because I feel like I need to walk otherwise I will just stumble on something I did not want to. Like Wompoo, I often try to hold the cursor down close to my character instead of point and click style. However, a preferred alternative for me would be the option to angle the camera down more so that I could see farther "in front" of where I am going.

Thats tactical view, IIRC the default key for that is "o" ?

Actually, I find that I can see farther away from my character when in tactical view. When in combat, I often have to switch to tactical because the range of my spells can sometimes be off the screen otherwise. Especially with the "distant spell" meta magic feat on a sorcerer. It is worse if the battlefield is not "flat". The challenge is also present when I am not in combat, in which case I do not use tactical. If you zoom in to the max the camera angles down a little to almost give an over-the-shoulder view, but not quite. When exploring areas were the terrain is sloped up and away from the character, it feels like I can only see a short distance. It is a minor issue though, and it might be made worse by the fact that I am playing at 43:18 aspect ratio on an ultra wide. I do find that I often have to angle my camera to match my aspect ratio to "see farther". But I digress as I doubt a "walk toggle" would help with these things.
