A player pointed out that there are a lot of things that need developers’ attention but instead, they chose to spend most of their time working on the skillbook change.

In fact, The Fun Pimps also failed to add one feature that fans have been asking for years now: Auto run. PC players have managed to fix this problem by adding mods.

The game is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S later this month. And it seems like the console players will have to manage without an Auto run feature for now.
