Game changes

Stamina loss occurs any time you run or swim, this also applies to combat. Be aware of this, as fighting already consumes stamina so the effects stack. The same applies to running away, if you rush away from danger as soon as you run out of stamina, you'll be more likely to be caught. Running backwards doesn't drain stamina, as you can't move backwards fast enough to tire yourself out (useful in combat if you can block your stamina regeneration while walking backwards). Management of stamina and health becomes crucial, make sure you have stamina/health potions or spells before dungeon crawling, or at least take bedding.

FAQ

Q: Do you make Stamina drains for Jumping/Bow Drains?

Answer: I've looked into both of these things and there are many mods that already do this for bows. This kind of thing is best done with scripts, and the only scripts that run in this mod are in the MCM. I want to keep scripts as free as possible. If you want a durable drain pipe, I recommend Wildcat or Smilodon. Both are highly configurable, so you can choose the elements you like. Jump stamina loss requires scripting. I might look into it in the future, but right now, no, no.

Q: Will you be linking Stamina drains to stock weights at some point?

A: This has been implemented in version 3.0.

Q: This mod isn't used to slowing down players for a walk. Why did you introduce that element?

A: Simply put, it’s more immersive. In the past I've had trouble getting it to work consistently due to the nature of magic effects involving movement speed, but in this version it works flawlessly.

Q: So what actually changes compared to the old version?

A. a) When Stamina is depleted, the player is now forced to walk.

b) It’s all about inventory weight.

c) Stamina, Health and Magicka are all connected to each other and are affected to some extent by the mechanics of movement.

d) Added new move …
