To quote Mr.C:
What the fuck are you talking about?
The running speed is acceptable.
Never play Baldur's Gate if you think Original Sin's running is slow. In Baldur's Gate, they only walk but this has not stopped anyone from enjoying the game or from the Enhanced Edition being made with the same movement speed.
Edit:
"At this point, it is definitely in the running for all time worst game play decisions ever in the history of gaming."
Alright guys, I think we're dealing with a troll here...
