Movement is slower in Divinity than any other online game I'm playing and I like that about the game.
I can see that being forced to move at a slow pace would be irritating to people who are used to running around completing quests as fast as possible to get the next point for another level. So many games can be played that way.
This game will be different. You won't miss out on anything because you ran by too fast.
I like that the rats run faster than my character. That's how it should be. I have to corner them to talk to them.
I don't usually comment on the forums about gameplay features that I feel are appropriate but the developers need to know there are those of us out there that are happy with the movement speed.
