How can I increase my walking speed? : V

» Mon May 21, 2012 8:26 pm

I'm sick of my character walking slower than any NPC in the game. But looking on Nexus, the only mods that change these speeds also change other speeds (like for running and horses). How can I change this myself?

In the console (the ~ key) type the following command and hit [Enter]

player.modav speedmult 15

This will add 15 points to your walking speed. If that's too much, subtract 5 by typing:

player.modav speedmult -5

I've not used the console much in the past. Will this make the speed permanent for all my present and future characters?

Global/stat adjustments just affect that one save. So every time you start a new character you would need to enter the command one time then save. Just like changing the timescale or any other global variable or stat.

I use console regularly to edit my character for rp reasons and no change has ever perpetuated onto another character.

You can also set highth and that increases your run speed range and dmg

Is there an .ini tweak or something that can make it permanent, like a mod would be?

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1603 mod lets you set your own speed settings, and is permanent until the esp is removed.

Grab this mod first:

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=5217

Then set up your batch file to contain the line:

player.setav speedmult 120

The default value if 100, so by setting it to 120 you are increasing the walking speed by 20%. If you want to walk slower, decrease the value by the appropriate percent. The mod will make sure that every time a save game is loaded, this command is issued automatically.

However, you'll still find yourself having to reissue that command by hand becuase all the NPCs seem to walk at different speeds. When following NPCs, sometimes I have to go up to 175, other times I have to drop it back to 100. There is no perfect solution.

Because movement speed is based on armor worn and applicable perks.

Doesn't messing with your player speed currently have issues with perks that also effect movement? I think we've figured out that the Perks in a way override your base speed. So if you set your run speed to be slower when you get a perk that increases it with a weapon drawn, when that happens it is based off of the original base speed. Make sense? So it would seem you would need to relatively mod any Perks that deal with speed as well, right?

That's why I love Skyrim speeds. It sets all those multipliers in its utility. I don't know how clean the resulting ESP is, but once i have the CK I'll comb over it as well as I can.

Well that kind of blows then. I didn't know there were perks to increase movement speed. I wish Bethesda would have thought of that and made the NPCs walk speed match yours when leading you places.

I would expect that it would modify the multiplier, like potions do. However, I don't know anything for a fact as I haven't ever seen a perk to increase movement speed yet.

I do know that SkyEdit barfs on the Realisitic Running Speeds one, so I have stayed away from it.

The perks I'm talking about are the master perks for armor that affect weight of worn armor, stamina drain while sprinting with the armor, etc. They make you act as though you have no armor on for the movement check and you move as fast as you do in clothing or naked.

Yeah once the CK comes out I'm sure somehow will make a full on movement speed mod. I'm gonna hang in there a little longer since I'm not convinced the current methods are the best ones yet. I definately want to speed up walking and slow down running though.

Did you look at the Skyrim Speeds mod? I'm not trying to toot this guy's horn, it's not my mod or anything. But it can do exactly what you're asking for. Just trying to help you out.

Oh yeah for sure, but I'm not sure how it interacts with the Perks or other modifiers at this point. I've been talking to him in his mod's comments section, as have a few others. I just want to make sure you can change the speeds withough screwing up anything else.

Ok then. Good luck finding your happy medium then.

I'm pretty sure "setscale" also adjusts your move speed by the same amount. But I doubt you want to be taller just so you can move faster.

» Mon May 21, 2012 11:31 am

personally I've always found the running speed (i.e. your max speed while not sprinting) to be just about right, but the actual WALKING speed (toggle-able through caps-lock) to be far, far too slow.

Sadly, adjusting the speedmult attribute affects the max run speed as well. It'd be nice if the default 'walking' speed was just a tad faster -- or a way to increase it.

There are several NPCs who walk around expecting you to follow them, and you either "walk" yourself and fall behind, or "run" and sail past them.

Of course, if you are using a 360 controller you can fine tune your speed more, but I use mouse and keyboard only, and only have two speeds available to me. (plus sprinting)

Yes, this is my problem also, and what I am requesting.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1603 by Wolfmark. I'm linking to the mod again because I'm not sure folks have been reading your posts. To repeat: Wolfmark's allows the player to configure running and walking speed independently of each other. I have my walking speed set a bit faster than the default walking speed, while leaving running speed alone. It's a great mod and has made a huge difference in my game.

or just get an xbox controller. then use the joysticks

Have you encountered any issues? Quests, Perks, etc... ? Thanks.
