Get rid of the shoes slot affecting our walking and just bring back the stupid walking perk and make shoes give stats again.

You nerfed equipment and stats pretty hard compared to the last game where it was easy to get over 100 in any stat stacking the right buffs but in this one we have less equipment slots and even leveling up is much weaker as we're stuck with pre-determined stat blocks instead of just letting us raise stats as we see fit with XP. Kinda feels like a step backwards and how the hell are you supposed to get FIFTEEN in every stat without knowing things ahead of time? I've already maxed my characters class out and I'm sitting on a ton of XP with nothing to use it on and a literal ton of Meat with nothing to spend it on by Day 4 and my shoes no longer give me sweet, sweet stat bonues they just make me have a *single* walk cycle. Which is boring. Stupid walking's randomness is what made it fun and enjoyable.

It would be nice to have a shoes without a silly walking effect.

those are just bare feet, the shoes don't show up on your character as it is.

Because they're frankly the coolest effect to be honest. And the music that follows you is a hoot.

I think a “random shoe” would be a cool option. a shoe thats a horrible amalgamation of several types of shoes that works like the stupid walking perk. also weapons should give you stats as well like do in wol..

I would go for this actually. Or a "Stupid Shoe" even.
Also yeah I miss weapons being stat sticks as well, you have much less gear that gives stats this time compared to the last game as well.

I miss stats on shoes as well.

I like the ability to choose which specific stride to go with. But yeah, having 1 slot that's 110% cosmetic does feel like a nerf, especially in the context of the challenge on the boardwalk that needs 15 stats, which is next-to-impossible at the time I'm writing this.

It's possible but you basically need to scour the maps for potions and foods that buff stats, a hat that buff stats and an accessory that buffs stats not to mention get all the buffs in the final map area(there are 1 for each stat, plus another for Might). And save the bathtub in the junkyard for the final challenge.
