  Hello everyone!

  I stumbled upon a nice little trick that will prove to be very useful for sneaky characters. I'm pretty sure many of you have already experienced it, but for those of you who haven't, here it goes. Unsheathing weapons, spells or even empty fists while walking in sneak mode increases the default movement speed by quite an observable amount.

  How to do it:

  • Equip a weapon or a spell on your character and sheathe it. It also works with empty fists;
  • Enter in third person view;
  • Crouch and start walking in sneak mode;
  • While walking in sneak mode, unsheathe whatever you have equipped (fists included);

  Warning: Jumping, attacking or switching to first person view will cancel the sneak movement speed increase. Switching back to third person view from first person reactivates the effect.

  Closing Notes: I would like to thank Raidriar for helping me test this!
