I’ve noticed that the generic walking speed is actually not quite fast enough for the animation. (I am not talking about when over-encumbered.) If you look closely at your character’s feet when walking, you can see that it looks like their feet are sliding on the ground a bit, like they are walking on a treadmill. In single player mode, I am able to adjust my character’s speed and I have found that at a speed of 1.2 or 1.3 removes the sliding when walking. I also personally feel that the walking speed is a bit too slow so bumping it up a bit would be helpful and would also look better. It’s a little thing, but it bugs me lol.
Well, I never noticed that. Just always felt that sprinting should be a thing.
Hmm, yes that too would be nice.
Yeah, like i already mentioned, it is a small thing but ever since i noticed that the walking speed wasn’t quite set correctly, it has bugged me.
Um sprinting is a thing, I don’t know what platform you play on, but the default key to sprint on PC is shift.
What my strong enduring muscleman calls sprinting, I call jogging in real life… but perception is subjective. 
Something to keep in mind, your characters height would play a roll in how well the animation syncs with the actual footfalls when walking.
The devs probably didn’t take into account we can change character height.

Yeah, the shift key is what i like to think of as running. It would be cool to have a sprint key as well. Would change game dynamics a bit though i imagine.
Good point @tobbiusness. I haven’t played around with that at all. I typically go on the taller side with my characters so that could be why I am always seeing this
I’m a long time gamer, regardless of how fast or slow that key makes the character, the slight speed boost from the standard speed is called “sprint” in almost every game.
I would agree with you, i was just trying to explain what both legendaddy and i meant by our use of the word sprint.
The speed can;t get any faster for walking. It is already absurdly easy to walk around enemies, both NPC and Players, without taking damage. Faster would just make it an easier escape mechanic.
