Is there a way to speed up animations (during combat?)

[jake21]

I've already selected the boolean option in the options screen for fast animation but they still seem pretty slow esp compare to previous versions; is there a tweak (perhaps hand edited option) that will speed up combat?

I take from other threads this one is not everyone's favorite and balance et all is more out of whack than the norm ?

If that is the case hopefully this bad experience will not kill the series and they will return to Katuari ?
