What is the purpose of "walking"...?

Does anyone do it regularly in game? For what purpose? I sometimes do it for follow quests but half the time walking is too slow and running is too fast. I don’t get it… :man_shrugging:

it’s called role-play walking. it’s what NPC’s do.

Mainly for rp purposes, otherwise I can’t think of a good use

RP mostly, but there have been times I needed to get as close to something as possible without ending up on it or past it and walking is the only way.

I don’t do it regularly but sometimes it comes in handy for when I need to make tiny precise movements for an achievement or quest.

I do it all the time when I have to follow slow NPCs for quests.

There’s one quest in Redridge you gotta walk to avoid waking up worgs. Perhaps others…
The game uses walking when disoriented masking the arms with flailing animation.
RPers use it to wander around. It’s funny to see, if you follow one of them, how far they’ll walk away an rp scene before resuming running or even mounting. :laughing:
Walking can be relaxing if you’re soaking in the scenery and ambience noises.

No real purpose. FFXIV made use of walking in Eureka instance by adding high lvl dragons above the sync cap that wake up and kill you if you run by them so you walk instead since they sleep all the time.

Apart from FFXIV’s case, I have never seen any other game use “walking” other then rping purposes.

While posting walking mvs :stuck_out_tongue:
