📋 About This Mod

Like many, I find myself frustrated with the running mechanics in Morrowind. I'm constantly toggling between walking and running to maintain a "net zero" fatigue usage. This mod tweaks the underlying game settings such that the running speed is reduced to conserve fatigue.

With this mod enabled, fatigue should remain fairly constant while running, but running speed is reduced for characters with a low Athletics skill. A character carrying a lot with low Endurance will still see some fatigue loss, while a character with high Endurance and no load will see it restore slowly.

Note: I've only tested this with OpenMW, but assuming the formulae are similar, it should be effective with the vanilla engine as well.

The full math is below for those interested. Items in italics are variables used for the purpose of showing the math here. Items in CAPS refer to player attributes and skills.

Walking speed relies on the player's Speed stat:

  WalkSpeed = fMinWalkSpeed + ( SPEED 0. 01 ( fMaxWalkSpeed – fMinWalkSpeed ) )

Running speed is based on walking speed as well as Athletics:

RunSpeed = WalkSpeed ( fBaseRunMultiplier + ( ATHLETICS 0. 01 fAthleticsRunBonus ) )

By default,

fBaseRunMultiplier = 1. 75

fAthleticsRunBonus = 1. 00

This means that, by default, running is between 75% and 175% faster than walking, depending on Athletics.

Fatigue caused by running is calculated as:

RunFatigue = fFatigueRunBase + ( fFatigueRunMult ( CurrentCarryWeight / MaxCarryWeight ) )

By default,

fFatigueRunBase = 5. 00

fFatigueRunMult = 2. 00

This means that running causes between 5 and 7 fatigue depending on Encumbrance.

Fatigue is restored at the following rate (even while running):

FatigueReturn = fFatigueReturnBase + ( ENDURANCE * fFatigueReturnMult )

By default,

fFatigueReturnBase = 2. 50

fFatigueReturnMult = 0. 02

This means that fatigue is restored between 2. 5 and 4. 5, depending on Endurance.

The goal mathematically is to lower the amount of fatigue caused by running to match the base restore rates:

set fFatigueRunBase to 3. 10

set fFatigueRunMult to 1. 40

This means that running now causes between 3. 1 and 4. 5 fatigue depending on encumbrance. The value of 3. 1 is based on the lowest possible starting value for endurance, which is 30. This effectively means that a character with minim
