Combat is too slow

[Johannes]

They take too much time and break the pacing, at least at the point where you're replaying the game - you can skip over text you've read before, but fights you can't fast-forward. Especially fights with a lot of allies, like the defense of the pass as IG.

Some solutions:

Allow for a higher multiplier to the animation speeds. Now it's capped at 2x, I want it to be more like 5x or 10x.
Hotkeys for all the attack types. Now just Fast, Regular, and Power attacks have hotkeys (1-3)... Why?



Also another thing to speed the game up, would be to add a few more hotspots to teleport to on the map in Maadoran. Especially to the blacksmith. Having to always run there between arena fights is tedious.

There's already a fast travel hotspot for the smith in Maadoran btw.

100% agree on the animation speed multiplier and hotkey stuff. 2x doesn't seem particularly fast at all, 1x seems like slow motion.

Allow for a higher multiplier to the animation speeds. Now it's capped at 2x, I want it to be more like 5x or 10x.

Open the console and copy-paste:

$pref::Video::animationSpeed = "2"

Replace 2 with a desired number. Keep in mind that going above 6 might break things.

2 is the safest one, above that, it depends on your PC specs. With a good computer you can set it higher.
