Totally agree, though it doesn't "ruin" the mod for me. It just forces me to min-max my backsteps and be ultra aware of them... well, at least until I could afford to keep replenishing a horse and getting the lame ones healed up in a reasonable amount of time.

And as for realism, you could just as easily stumble going forwards, if we suppose you're in an actual army formation with officers ordering you forward - no time to ***** the unevenness of the ground properly. It's just not a good feature because it's out of place - so many other things would have to be more realistic if this feature is to be made to feel seamless and natural to gameplay. Probably have to wait for Bannerlord for that kind of extensive overhaul of physics and graphical realism.

My obituary for this mod would be as follows:

A thing that could have been, it was the most ambitious Tolkien-based mod ever attempted, and ultimately the story of how one man's poisonous influence and arrogance can rotten and drain a well-meaning community (not unlike the works of Tolkien).

Never letting anyone carry your own burdens, always suspecting "outsiders" of desiring your downfall, and finally not even trusting your inner circle. It's a classic tale of a person so paranoid with his own perceived talent, he forgets these talents were meant to spread joy to others and instead sadistically teases with his powers to what he sees as the rabble, well knowing he never intends to use them for anyone but his own benefit.
