Disable auto slow motion?

I swear to god this was in the options last i played and i just can't find it

Auto slow motion? I have only noticed the game slowing down either because I use a... that slow time item... or that I pretty that button which slows down the game.... well or the button which pauses the game. I have not noticed the game ever slowing down automatically though.

when you are in a guard's line of sight the game goes into slow mo and stays that way until you lelave

Oh right... forgot about that. Seems like a nice feature though? If this didnt happen you would just be dead unless you reacted really fast... but on the other hand, going in and out of slowmotion does make it a bit harder to control the character as well... not sure if the pros outweigh the cons. I think I mainly have control issues when using the slowdown item which slows down time and makes you faster, as there is a time where you then keep moving faster after the slowdown stops and it also means you have a hard time to stop moving in the direction you are moving.

But with the regular slowdown that does not seem so much of a problem.

i like the idea that i can ♥♥♥♥ up

You can... but if it does not slow down you dont really have an option not to, as they will be shooting you within a second of turning that corner. Its not just for the fun of it, that they made time slow down. Its not meant to be humanly possible to dodge those bullets if it happens in real-time.

I guess you could try to never turn a corner while they are looking, or always have stealth or whatever running when you do... but that is not really a viable tactic long term. Pretty much no late missions can be completed like this.

I kinda hope they don't implement this, because then the no-slow-mo run will become the "real" way to play the game, and then I just don't think the game would be quite as fun, because the game is really built around the ability to mess around with item combinations with infinite time to plan and decide. One of the tenets of game design is that if a game pressures you into playing a certain way, even subtly, the majority of players will do it that way even if it's less fun.

As an option it seems fine. It would be a high difficulty mode for sure, and I doubt people would really use it that much, because, the game is balanced around being able to slow down time in different ways.

If there were an option i would set slow motion to only be like 0.9x speed or something
