I even tried reinstalling the game again like three times already, but still I cant run, which is very frustrating. does anyone else having the same issue beacuse this is by far the most annoying bug in the game in my opinion..

Are you sure you aren't encumbered or have a spell of encumberment on you?

Sounds like you're over encumbered. Check your weight by pushing select and look in the bottom right corner. You can't take everything home. Pick and choose what you want to sell and keep.

Check to see if you are encumbered, or carrying too much weight. Also check to see if you are poisoned, rock joint perhaps.

Well, I can't sprint in First Person, but I can sprint just fine in third. I used to run in spurts until I restarted the game after a few hours.

That's not possible. The only thing I can think of is that you were so excited the first day you played it, everything seemed to be moving faster. If you can sprint in third person, you can also do it in first.

I'm afraid it is possible as I encountered the exact same thing last night.

Sometimes, in first person view pressing L2 causes my character to sprint for about 3 steps then he goes abruptly goes back to normal pace. If you switch to third person he sprints until the stamina gauge is depleted, as normal.

This doesn't happen all the time and there doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. Odd.

i had this problem but kinda half of wot the problem is my character would run but only for a second then stop an walk id have to change to the 3rd person view and hed run like normal until stamina was exhausted. it went back to normal after a short while and me reloading a save game, i dunno if overwrighting a save effects it but i noticed it was fixed once i saved on a new save an reloaded, but i dunno if that was just coincidence or wot. im only level 10 so will wait to see if it happens again.
