I love walking. Also easier to position yourself if you want have some screenshot with others.

I use it to position myself nicely when doing emotes.

I don't rp.

I like it because my Dunmer gals look great while walking.

I also like it because I sometimes find the fact that almost everyone is running frantically everywhere a mite....well...silly looking.

Why run all the time? You are no longer charged by the hour to play MMOs

Ever been cliffside, or in some other precarious position?

While the 'Run' feels like Walk, 'Sprint' feels like Run, and walk feels like creep, it can presumably allow you to position yourself with a but more accuracy.

I suspect at some point in the future, they will add some content that will require a bit more precision to get from point A to point B. In that regard, it's an unofficial carryover from the standalone games.

Personally, I disabled it. Nothing greater than trying to put some distance in between you and the mobs that probably already snared you anyway to have your character exit...even...slower...

It's right up there with pulling up your character sheet mid battle, or your inventory screen. Had the game glitch the other day and break out a survey map at the wrong time.

'Cause that's what I'd do, casually read something that obscures my entire view while 5 guys are trying to kick my ***.

For role playing. Also, you can make a nice video with walking.

ye, i forgot about it

BTW Character Windows and Inventory keybinds doing the same thing

Actually, Character Windows will bring up the last window that you had open.

You had most recently opened your Inventory window before hitting Character Windows, that is why it brought back up your Inventory Window.

Also, as a FYI, Character Windows is also functions as "Close Window" in many (but not all) circumstances, replacing the Left Alt keybind (which is the default for Character Windows).

The more you know.... : )

I use walk when I'm inside, especially if there are lots of things in the way. I've also used it around town, in fact prefer it. At the forges especially, or in the bank in Auridon, where the interiors have objects close together.

I also prefer to toggle walk when I'm on my horse while in town, galloping while in-town just seems ridiculous.

Just interesting
there is no any stamina/other penalty when you RUN
and im sure WALK is useless type of movement, and i cant find any circumstances when you need it

so why we have this option in Keybinds settings?
i cant get it

For roleplaying people or really hardcore immersionists

My favorite thing to do is rp walk over the corpses of players in Cyrodiil. That triggers rage that will get me more ap when they come back seeking revenge.

just lold

I have a favorite spot in Daggerfall I like to climb a top and show off. But to make the jumps up there I toggle walk so I don't overshoot and fall back down.

I think Lonely Island said it best in Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions:

Cool guys don't look at explosions.
They blow things up and then walk away.
Who's got time to watch an explosion?
There's cool guy errands that they have to walk to.

Love to walk mounted through town. Pull back for wide view. Reminds me of old TV western when hero enters town at beginning of story. Also lets me see the hard work peeps put into character design in a game with these ultra graphics. It is very cool when my sons walk by and say, "Wow, great graphics". Thanks to all who put in the effort to make knockout individual characters.

RP implies that the game is not real.

Well it is part of every TES game in on PC, and it's not like people force you to do either. Some people don't like to feel like they are running 100% of the time, and it is good to move slower while sneaking, at least in the main installments. I am literally just finishing my patch for TESO though, so I can't be sure if there is practical use, but like I said, its not as if this is the first elder scrolls with a walk/run toggle.

There's one specific boss mechanic that is a little bit easier if you toggle walk during the boss. Don't want to give away spoilers so I won't go into detail. You can do it with run toggled, but I like using walk.

I have always enjoyed walking in gorgeous games like ESO, now I shun any game that doesn't allow me to walk.
