Like so many games, I find the walk speed to be too slow, but the run speed to be too fast. Rather than adjust the default speeds, I find these two additions to the autoexec.cfg file met my needs.

If you're using the Unofficial Patch, the file can be located in ...\Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines\Unofficial_Patch\cfg

Adding the lines below assigns ALT to be a speed modifier key. When held, the walk speed is increased and the run speed is reduced. When the key is released, movement speed is reset to default. This allows for four different speeds:

1. Default Walk
   
2. Faster Walk (while ALT is pressed)
   
3. Slower Run (while ALT is pressed)
   
4. Default Run

I prefer to have my characters always walk and to hold a key to run. I found this code made by Dheu and reposted by R.I.P from a now defunct forum. It assigns DEL to be an always walk/run toggle and SHIFT to be a walk/run key.


For the above code to work, make sure you unassign these keys from the in-game options.
