continue to walk forward while switching items

[Hairy_eyeball 82]

while walking, i will pull out an item to use and even if i let up on the forward button(w) my character will continue to walk forward. this has resulted in me falling off a few roofs and breaking a leg or outright death. i have learned to stop moving when selecting an item. ive even had my character start walking forward as i selected an item while walking backwards!

there is also the bug that stops you completely while moving forward when you try to put something away.

so id say 2 moving bugs associated with inventory use.

well that's a con, but a big pro for me is you can run up stairs this way which you have to walk up slowly normaly. but psssht pro-tip ;-)

 

edit: also works with compass and other stuff

i guess for areas with working railings and no danger of falling off this is a good thing.

ill just stick to not pulling items out when near a ledge.
