To the negative nillies... First I love each and every last one of you.
I've used this for years, if you haven't you aren't speaking with any experience, also I'm far from alone otherwise it wouldn't exist. On top of that my game doesn't affect yours.
It is interesting as some say my 1x looks twice as fast as their base speed, if so something is going on and in that case there could be an issue. So when someone says "this is deplorably slow" perhaps they are witnessing a different experience. Then in that case would you like to see your speed halved?
Come to think of it, I can play this game at 1/2 speed and then look down on you and your fast 1x speed arcade game.
I would have even a more realistic experience, you try running around all day in armor? Not fun.
The speed doesn't really change the games main points, it just speeds up A to B and rounds in combat playing out faster. Since dialogs stop action and since it is TB, it still is very much the same game. This doesn't turn this into a Diablo clone in any way. I haven't played COD since #2 and rarely play FPS's, so ones cliches are swings and a misses, we sure do assume a lot as a race negatively. It is the same game, I've played beta both ways. I'll even go to say, I'll match anyone's Turn Base Exp for 2013 and 2014, I've played around 8 now, enjoying each one, I'm more slanted as a TB player in general.
So I'm not saying one should or shouldn't use it, it is your option, I'm just putting this out there. I doubt we will see Larian make a change here (I'm not asking either) nor a mod soon'ish that changes game speed. To me in a lot of games travel becomes the time eater. I like this game a bunch, but that said, I'm all for shaving off some hours ultimately as my Steam backlog is not getting any shorter.
As for traps, they still detect and yes you have to be careful, but this isn't uncontrollable. To note this doesn't affect game sounds, they play at normal speeds, dialogs included.
This also works in coop. You just need to have both parties set at the same speed.
This hasn't corrupted a single save (someone mentioned it would elsewhere out of inexperience and negativism) in this game or others for me. Every so often there is a game this doesn't work for, some obscure engine/techniques used.
