Second, the movement speed is absolutely a game breaking bug. Whoever thought that the movement speed was appropriate needs to be banned from game design for life. It is horrifically disrespectful to Larian's customers and demonstrates an utter disregard for people's time.
Thanks for speaking for me, but I can take it from here. I'm one of Larian's customers and I could not be happier. They made exactly what they promised, getting away from all the modern (and frankly crappy) action RPG Diablo wannabes. This game is about living in a world - not running through it.
Also, generally not a good idea to go nuclear in you accusations for things that are at best mildly annoying - we are talking about a parameter that took you all of a day to find a way around. Good on you, mods and hacks FTW. "horrifically disrespectful" my left foot.
