Fishing issue

It dawned on me the other day, the fighing rod makes a sound like it has a reel on it when we catch the fish, despite being a bamboo stick with a bit of string tied on (no reel).
Once you're aware of it, it just seems weird.

People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed this!
I'm sure others have noticed it too, I just don't recall anyone commenting on it in the forums.
What I find scary is that it took me this long to spot it, I really should have realised earlier.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭✭✭✭It makes the reel sound when you cast it too.
BTW, I have fished with a pole and string before, it's not that easy to do to, as you are basically on top of the fish and can spook them. Have to stand very still. Much better to cast the line, put the pole in a holder then pick up a beer before having a seat. Of course you have to be quick to grab the pole when the fish hits. But, by that point, you needed to get up to get another beer anyway, so it's all good.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Woolenthreads✭✭✭✭I think they probably did it so that people had an audible trigger that they recognised to know, first, that it was working and that it had something.Oooh look, lot's of Butterflies! Wait! Butterflies? Get out of here Sheo, stop bugging me!

What sound would you like your bamboo stick to make to alert you that a fish is hooked ?

Actually that's a good question, I guess the sound of a fly being cast would work (yes I do know what fly fishing sounds like).
Either that or just add a dwemer style reel to the rod.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Circuitous✭✭✭✭✭Now you've ruined it for me.
It's especially dumb because fishing rods with reels exist in the game! They're at every "fishing camp" site in every alliance as far as I can tell. Yours just doesn't have one, for some strange reason.Ｔｈａｎｋ Ｓｔｅｎｄａｒｒ ｉｔ’ｓ Ｆｒｅｄａｓ．

Sorry
True about the other rods though, I just want the look to match the sound, it would help keep the immersive feel going.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Quit fishing for attention.Are you saying the game isn't reel-istic?
Seriously though, this game has quite a few sound design oversights. Footstep sounds are another I've noticed.-T h e - A l d m e r i - I n i t i a t i v e-— O r d e r - o f - t h e - R a v y n —0 -
Super_Sonico✭✭✭✭Yes, but I like it because I can read on my ipad and mindlessly hit E,R,E when I hear that sound and never once lay an eye on the screen.
