This is such an obvious issue that it's probably been beaten to death and I just wasn't here to assist, having acquired Prophecies about a year after its release. If that is the case, I'll gladly provide the oil to be flamed.
In any event, this is my gripe: why can't we walk normally? Why must we run all the time? Walking doesn't have any practical game application per se, naturally, and most of the time we do want to just rush from one place to the next, but why on earth isn't there the option to just walk? A simple Shift-click or Shift-Direction keys, for example? It's not like the animations for that aren't there already, like when you get slowed by a hex (and on a side note, I think it looks pretty cool to walk with a hammer on the shoulder). NPCs walk normally around town, and I bet many people would like to be able to do that too, whether to position and pose for screenies or, on another note, for roleplaying situations.
Your thoughts, please.
