Do you think Skif's sprint speed is too fast?

[BTGbullseye]

Well, you shouldn't. It's less than 16MPH, and even my fat lazy ass can do that with an 80lb ruck in rough terrain for the amount of time that you get in-game. Skif is a relatively healthy and fix ex-military man, I think a 16MPH sprint for 10 seconds while lugging around 120lbs is actually kinda low on the duration, but perfectly fine for speed.

This was calculated by sprinting 920m in a near perfectly straight line with unlimited stamina, and using a stopwatch to determine that it took 135 seconds to complete that distance. The distance and unlimited stamina was required to minimize the margin of error, which is quite high if you try to measure a distance from a fixed point while sprinting for a certain duration with unmodified stamina.

You want to run Fast if blood sucker is on you.

Not anymore. Now you want to pull out your high-pen automatic weapons, and use 1/3rd of a magazine to eliminate them as they try to get at you.

I haven't come across Blood Sucker yet since 2 updates.

Easy fix, run with a maxxed out inventory, problem solved!

His stamina is a complete joke though, worse than 60y old 300lb asthmatic chainsmoker, tired after 3 knife swings and 20 meter sprint.
He does recover quite amazingly though.

Green speed is fine. Could be higher because the zone is big and empty.
Yellow speed is "okay" at best, but honestly sucks and needs to be 10-15% faster.
Red speed is unacceptable lol. Punished for looting because now you have to SLOWLY walk back to sell ♥♥♥♥ hundreds of meters away. Really atrocious design.
Simple solution by changing nothing would be to have most vendors sell Hercules pills for like 1K a tube.

But really.
As Myyra says, Skif's stamina is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
OG stalker games were smaller, you seemed to run faster and your stamina lasted MULTIPLE TIMES what they do now.
So you ran LONGER and FASTER ...in a SMALLER Area.
I can't make that math work - the math where Stalker 2 is bigger but punishes you for playing it by making Skif worse.

Skif's light jog is like my marathon pace. He isn't slow at all.
