Pick up the pace.

is the latest in a long line of games to commit the cardinal but common sin of not making NPCs match the walking speed of the player. It sounds like a minor quibble, but it crops up so often that it's driving me loopy, resulting in me trotting ahead of NPCs while screaming at them as I completely lose the plot.

Since a lot of quests require you to follow an NPC, you'll find yourself stopping and starting constantly as you try to get to your destination. Some NPCs will pick up the pace a bit if you run far enough ahead of them, but you'll still have to wait for them to catch up and, crucially, you won't actually have a quest marker showing you where they are taking you.

Like so many of the recurring issues with Bethesda games, it's been left up to modders to fix this, which they've done with some simple command line mods. These are easy to use, but will require you to make a tweak to the StarfieldCustom.ini file. from Somberx increases the player walking speed by 50% so you can keep up with NPCs while walking. After downloading and extracting the ESP to your Starfield data folder, all you need to do is add a line to the StarfieldCustom.ini file.

Mouse sensitivity has been optimised to match your display ratio, and this feature also disables mouse acceleration. If you're using a controller, the mod also makes some tweaks to make aiming more precise and increases controller response time. Installation is a bit more involved, however, and you'll need to use console commands as well as adding new lines to the StarfieldCustom.ini file.
