Eating/drinking when walking

[Lacho7]

Maybe it was suggested before, sorry, I was too lazy to go through the posts.

Here is the thing, I'm not sure if it's against general mechanics of the game, but it would save a lot game time if we could eat or drink and keep walking (not running).

Let me know what you think guys... cherrs

I've thought about that as well once or twice.  Like you I'm not sure about the mechanics of it though.  But otherwise sounds good.

On the one hand: it should be possible, because it's realistic. On the other hand: why? Is it important. You will always find a place where you can stand while eating and drinking. So I wouldn't think it would be worth the change.

You have a valid point. But there is the problem of being stalked when you're fatigued.  Drinking a cup of coffee standing still isn't the best idea if yogi is on your tail.

Both @Leeanda and @Razum  have valid points. Being able to eat/drink/light a torch while walking would likely not come into play very often, but when you need to... you NEED to.

Lighting a torch makes much more sense to me. 
I already wondered here https://hinterlandforums.com/forums/topic/42020-arrow-keysenter-for-all-items-in-game/#comment-239749 why you are not able to use the space menu while still walking. The only option if you are chased by a wolf is to use number keys to cycle through.

The cup of coffee thing is also a good point. So you've convinced me. With these things in mind, there are critical situations where it would be really helpful and not being able to do it is a pretty unnatural restriction.
