You have a point there but agroing a troll and taking it to a swamp is a bit difficult if your still geared for Dark Forest and/or there isn't a swamp around.

I have to disagree with the pursue distance being OK, It makes running away impossible, so if you accidentally pickup up a troll when you don't have the gear for it, like you just started the game, its not going to be much fun.

When you lure a troll in the swamp it's not for killing it, it's for the fun of watching the swamp being demolished by a big angry guy.

For the players having trouble escaping mobs, make sure you are well rested, fully fed, not wet/cold (if possible) and sheathe your weapon, but even then we can still escape pretty much anything in the game except maybe the wolves.
Use the environnement to regain stamina when walking and run through the most efficient paths you may find.

I agree though that there are some weird spawns sometimes as i have also experienced the "troll out of nowhere" thing multiple times" but at worst you take a hit at best you hear it before he engages.

Have fun everyone !

I had a Draugr Elite that I absolutely could not outrun until I got it stuck on some terrain. I'm wondering if when an enemy decides to commit to an attack they get some kind of movement speed increase until they execute their attack. I covered about half a fairly large biome trying to shake the guy, but he was on my heels the whole way, doing his lightspeed battle shuffle.
