I think it would be neat to expand the options for the RP behind walking. For instance:
a tall male giant lumbers east
a blue-eyed female sprite skips east
a mischevious male halfling saunters in from the east

Instead of walking, jogging or running everywhere there could be an RP equivalent. There would be no change in speed or PE drain, it would just look different. Several options could be made available, I don't suggest players get free reign of the word which will replace walk, but a list of pre-approved words for each movements speed. Similar things could be done for 4-legged players and flying folk.

speed walk plod - or something like that for syntax

Whatcha think?

Nope! Do not need it. Way more important things like a quest complete command!

The actual speed you are moving is important information to be able to see during a battle situation - both to remind yourself and for an opponent. I would not add a feature that would obscure that.

With the pre-set list of options, presumably two or three for each speed, it would still be clear how quickly they're moving, it would just be more flavorfully clear.

I've been emoting stuff like this for years. Only I usually just do it when I leave an inn. I don't do it all the time to much work.
