Optional keybind for slow walking, please

[Robin_G]

With a controller on our hands we can play as slow or fast as we want. On the other side, using keyboard & mouse we are always forced to run. This limitation applies to both Prey and Dishonored.

Immersion and multiple options (play as you want) are Arkane's main signs of identity, and same thing about Looking Glass, who are his antecesors). Adding an optional keybind for normal walk would be very simple. It would not alter in any way the experience of those who want to play fast, but would greatly gratify those who want to enjoy a more relaxed pace, and if I can say... more immersive.

Arkane, I love all your games, from Arx Fatalis to Prey. Your game concept is, by far, the best and most immersive in the industry. But it's very sad be forced to play in a mood I don't like when I using my preferred control system (keyboard and mouse)

This^ needs to be done Arkane!

[G97_Slamelov]

Please, inmersive games need to allow this, remember Thief or system Shock. Arkane is great, the true Looking Glass sucessor, please, add walking key for Prey and Dishonored

[Thrill]

True. Please, add walk button.

[trek554]

Yes please add.

Honestly Keyboards are holding back pc gaming imo. Digital movement will always be weaker than analogue movement even if you do add walk/run/sprint buttens. I hope more people will try out controller + mouse in the future.

This. I wished more games allowed this and didn't force you to use one or the other. Stick for movement and mouse for looking is pretty ideal.

Actually, a promising analog keyboard is already in development, the Wooting One, but in the meantime a proper optional keybind for “normal walk” would be great.

As you might be knowing, the first Thief games and System Shock 2 had three different movement speeds from a stand up position: creep, walk and run. And obviously those games was designed for keyboard control.

I didn't know Dishonored 2 and Prey let you walk slowly with a controller.

Yes this needs to be added then.

[G97_Slamelov]

Yes, you can use a controller + mouse, but i think it's easier add a key for walking. I have controllers enough, hotas, racing wheel, pad... none of them are useful for this.

Only a key, is not too complicated, I think.

how about they fix the ridiculous mouse 3 key binding on pc where its set to menu and u cant change it to jump , use, reload, etc etc.

[SlaveOfSelf(lucas)]

Totally agree. Wish there would be walk button.

I'd rather have something like the mouse wheel in splinter cell chaos theory.
there's no point in binding the mouse wheel to switch weapon when you have a weapon wheel and a 1-9 shortcut system.

Splinter cell's mouse wheel speed change is my favorite way to control speed. There's a mod that does that for Skyrim but not very well done and support dropped by author.

Can anyone else confirm the game no longer supports controller + mouse? Whenever I come within interaction distance of an object, the analog is "reset", making you stop moving. It's not playable this way as you have to release the analog every time to get moving again.

I actually made a script for FreePIE to implement a system like that for any game that supports simultaneous inputs from kb&m and controller. Originally I made it for Far Cry 2, cause it had a delicate stealth system based on how fast you moved (same lead designer as Chaos Theory). You might find use for it in other games. It's in one of my guides for Far Cry 2.

I fully agree with original post. There is needed to add a walk button. It should be standard for all FPS games, I think.

Dear developers, please fine-tune it.
Thank You!
