I like Ghost of Tsushima for this. Companion NPCs, I recall, have a minimum walking speed but will always match your pace if you go faster. If you call your horse they'll even magically spawn their own and ride alongside you!

the worst video game designer in the world: "hey, i have a great idea. let's make this character walk slower than you but stop walking their path if you get too far ahead. so you constantly have to walk forward a bit, wait for them, and then walk forward again, and so on, hope you don't get too far"

I'd bet the single biggest reason for this is not having good (flexible, durable, simple) tools to dynamically adjust NPC speed. BioShock Infinite DID solve this for Elizabeth - while she was supposed to be following you, we also wanted her in sight as much as possible (ie in front of you). So...

Trump responded by calling host Alexandra Cooper “Dumber than Harris” so now Cooper is doing an episode on abortion and the experience of going to a clinic in North Carolina since the Trump abortion ban. She has 10 million listeners.

The thing about Clark Kent being an old fashioned Kansas farm boy is that Kansas used to be a hotbed of progressivism and solidarity politics (it’s kind of how the state got founded)
