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.


What is or is not trivial is in the eye of the beholder, friend. I imagine most who are anticipating this game will spend far more time enjoying the game itself, focusing on the overall positives as a whole. While others will spend more time scrutinizing every detail of the game, thereby limiting their enjoyment thereof.

Not every gamer has to have every fine little detail fined tuned to be an exact replica of physics as they apply in the real world. Most just want to play an enjoyable, memorable game. Again, though, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, as are the rest of us who will spend more time playing the game rather than trying to pick apart what ever faults it may or may not have.
