May we walk?

Any chance we could have the ability to turn on the Walk power in these new non-combat NPC background stories? Given that they are all about immersion and story instead of fighting, it would add a good deal of realism if we didn't have to jog everywhere.

Movement speed in the Personal Stories was increased during Beta due to player feedback about how slowly we moved through them.

EDIT: See the first line of my sig for the explanation that fits best.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I have quoted that excellent line of your sig before, but it doesn't apply here. I'm not asking for movement speed to be reduced. I'm asking for us to have access to the Walk power that gives us the option. First rule of software programming: give users a simple option and then almost everyone can be happy.

Zeroth rule of software programming: give users -no- option and then it'll be very easy to code with a minimum of effort or risk of bugs. Sure a few users may whine about it, but our jobs will be easier.

For what it's worth I don't think your idea is a bad one.
I just don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

We don't get walk? I didn't really pay attention. I did pay attention on my lowbies though, and noticed that I could walk and use a rocket board even (that was on beta the other week when I was trying out a fire/dark troller I think). Maybe it's different on live, but I was definitely able to do it on beta for the mission where you get turned into the reporter. LMAO'd about it too.
