I generally don't like it when games require me to click in the left thumbstick to make my character/horse sprint. I always feel like I'm slowly breaking/damaging the stick over time.

When I played Red Dead Redemption 2 (fantastic game, one of my favorites of the last console generation), it gave us the option to simply tap the X (cross) button to run faster. Granted, this was just the "jog" or "slower sprint" speed--to actually get Arthur to sprint at full speed, we had to repeatedly tap the X button.

In AC: Valhalla, though, the thumbstick alone controls walking and jogging speeds--and we have to click the stick to fully sprint. As an alternative, could a new patch allow us the option simply to press the X button (which is mainly the climb/clamber/parkour button) to initiate sprint? Unless we're near a wall or structure, that button doesn't do anything anyway, and there's no dedicated jump feature (unless we're jumping off a structure). We can always press or hold that button to continue with climb/clamber/parkour. Using it once to initiate sprinting would be a cool idea for those of us who'd prefer not to click the left thumbstick to sprint.

Just an idea.

(Psst, also, by the way, maybe check out my posts, dating back to mid-December 2020, about giving us more HUD-disabling options. That'd be really cool of you.)

In the new DLC, the Blacksmith and Tattoo Parlor will only show on the map if you use Raven Sight. The only permanent locations are the Merchant, Stables and Drinking Marker. Once you leave Raven Sight and open the map the Blacksmith and Tattoo Parlor locations are gone. I am sure that is not what was intended.

Hi,

The pack-2 mastery challenge is not activated or I don't know how to play the new pack.

Thank you.
