I don't want a space bar jump but I wouldn't mind an auto jump of sorts. I would like to run to a fence and auto hurdle over it or run up to a ledge and auto pull myself up onto it or auto jump down from other ledges.

The problem with it I believe is because SE like to MoCap the animations for these thing so they look nice rests with Lalafell's as silly as it sounds. As other races are much taller than Lalafells jumping to ledges and hurdling over things is fine but with Lalafell's as they are so small in comparison to other races will mean they have problems making the animation fit. A Roegadyn would be able to jump and reach ledges much higher than a Lalafell with a nice smooth animation, where as a Lalafell would have to jump a considerable distance from the ground to reach that same height and that would not look right.

So as much as I would like to be able to jump off a cliff and dive into a river or jump up ledges I think we are being held back by our little friends ; ;
