I suppose to each their own, though.


The mere existence of magic in a fantasy world doesn't mean everyone is able to do everything effortlessly. And especially because Larian has presumably put a lot of effort into creating a believable, detailed world, they should also pay attention to details like this one.

Even if we assume that by becoming a dragon knight, the well-trained human character gains superhuman strength and agility that he/she can use without spending mana, why should he/she want to brag about his/her superhuman abilities with each and every jump? With a rogue-like approach to your character and when often relying on stealth, staying undetected or unnoticed, the show-style jumping is especially silly.

So yes, it's a detail, but no, it's not trivial.
