    Makes me wish for more immersive swimming mechanics... like, stamina cost, and encumbrance penalty for your armor... from "swim slower and with more effort in wet robes" up to "sink like a stone in full plate"... and then a DLC set in black marsh where you have to swim every other step so all those with argonian characters can laugh as the others feed the rivers with their tears... ;)

    It would have to be more than just unequipping your armor and having it in your inventory instead, because carrying it would be no more buoyant than wearing it - so for realism you'd have to leave all your gear on the beach and hope no-one nicks it.

    Well, true for weight, not so much for everything else. And that's only if one assumes no magic... I always thought of our backpacks as "Bags of Holding" anyhow, considering how much we can stick in there... ;)
    So, I would totally be satisfied with "stick your armor into your bag of holding before swimming" levels of immersion... which would make for an interesting mechanic, seeing how you might on occasion have to fight your first battle out of the water without your armor, yes?

    One quest causes you to have to swim that I know of.No other way to get to the other side.

    I thought the speed at which we swim was already pretty quick (too quick, IMO). What is it specifically that you are trying to do that might save you a few seconds of game time by increasing it?

    even with that you're still a little slow. plus if it runs out in the middle of water you can't cast it again and you're stuck.

    The gears you have on yourself slow you down, take them off to swim faster B) .

    I try not to ask for too much at a time... but I am totally for all of that! I loved underwater exploration in TES games, I'd adore a "pirates" themed DLC, I'd love to have more boatyness (maaaybe not for individuals, but... definitely for guilds! Or small riverboats for individuals, large ocean-capable ships for guilds...?) and any piracy should definitely include some boarding action PvP!

    Create an Argonian character.

    They have this passive which increases the speed you swim at. Crazy OP!

    Oh yes.. much like The Witcher 3. Good game for diving and finding loots under water. Blood and Wine DLC is out for the Witcher now and can't wait to dive into it, but I'm too stuck in ESO trying to get my CP capped on ESO.

    Swim speed is useful for Argonians. Why is OP complaining about swim speed if it wouldn't be useful XD lol.

    If they ever take swim speed away from Argonians, I know at least 20 other people beside myself who will be upset lol.
