This is one thing that get always wrong.
At first, the change was removable by using the options, but not it is not anymore.
And not only movement from the player, but NPCs, human or not, are going through the same problem. Moonwalking characters:
And I have removed mods and started a new save to ensure it happens without anything else added, and it does, all the time.
It used to be that changing the options in game play would give us back the movement in PC as it used to be, but now it does not. All the time, without mods, I am required to often walk backwards a bit to get the character to turn to the direction I am going.
It feels like you are in one of the Truck Simulators, or “Drift Racing”.
And as if it were something “that hard” to correct, but no, it is just change one thing to make it work like any other game would.
