Myself I am very forgiving as far as speed goes (so I won't comment on plain speed of running) but I feel I get stuck behind objects very easy and it feels sluggish to move past them.
What I mean that when I run and get stopped by a rock or whatever else, I pretty well now always choose to back off completely and make a wide berth around the object because trying to take a short path around feels terribly sluggish, more often than not I get stuck again. Its like getting caught in some spider's cobweb...
Maybe the 'path finding' setting is set at some lower value than it should be and it makes moving close past objects real pain. Of course it affects entering town by gates or shops by doorways, it feels like there is not much space to go through, like you just have to be on certain line to pass through.
In BC where I am now, I rarely am able to go through doorways, always have to figure exactly where to move to be able to come closer and pass behind the door. Would it be so difficult to provide for wider pass throughs?? Or is that intentional to make it more difficult for boss runners?
