    But if you care about immersion, why are you constantly sprinting? That's not realistic at all. You should actually be mostly walking in that case!

    Also, sprint is not a huge speed increase. Based on some quick research, it seems to be about 1/8 faster than walking. So in the old system when you could be sprinting 2/3 of the time, you end up going about 4% faster overall compared to the new system where you're sprinting 1/3 of the time. That's not nothing, but it's not *that* much. The difference is mostly psychological.

    The fact is, if you sprinted all the time, that speed would eventually feel plodding, especially now that we have turbo mounts. Here's a simpler idea: why not increase all speeds 4% in towns? End result is actually the same (though people would still perceive it as worse, but whatever), and they don't need to turn Sprint into some Frankenstein's monster of a skill.
