Boat Mounts

I think you're more likely to have some kind of aqua-animal mount. Otherwise the devs couldn't justify how slaughterfish are impeding your progress in trying to go off-map. (They ate through the metal hull of your dwemer boat?)

But yeah, water mounts. Swimming has been slow enough for a long time.

Oh gosh.... that reminds me of trying so hard to get the seahorse mount in Vashj'ir. I loved the underwater zone. I wanted that mount, but my satellite ping meant I was never able to get it. I lost track of how many times I tried....

I would enjoy this possibility. Great idea!

It would allow circumventing deep waters where you are not supposed to be able to short cut.

Slaughterfish still apply.

As suggestions go, it’s more of a cosmetic change to character swimming.

Um. The original book? I reread the entire "library" of books at least once a year, and have done so since 1964, when a very dear friend introduced me to Tolkien.

Sorry, I misread. I, for some reason, thought you said watched and not finished.

No worries! I love the LotR movies, not thrilled with The Hobbit ones. Daughter loved the cartoon version but she was about the right age....

My daughters loved the cartoon as well

Seems like a lot of work for something that wouldn't get much usage since fishing nodes are on the coast and having the traverse water is rare.

Saying that, a barrel mount could be fun. Floats on the water, rolls down hills.

Barrel rider achievement unlocked.

Actually this one often swims down rivers to find a fishy hole - follow a river you find a lake - then you find the sea.

There's a river in Shadowfen though. Follow that and you hit a giant Temple.

To add to this, I wish the personalities came with cosmetic swims.

I’d like to see Argonians crocodile swim.

They should definitely have a proper swim and involving their tail.
Not the weird one-sided dog paddle all toons get. (What is up with that?)

Well this one was fishing with Clan Claws at the weekend. We were following rivers to find more fishy puddles.

Well the thought occurred to this one would life not be easier and a bit faster with small personal boats that perhaps take up the space of a usual mount? So much less swimming.

Something between a barrel and a boat - there could be many different styles - coin to be made from this yes!

If a mount can know to dismount when at a river then cannot a boat know when you are on a river to sail down it?

All these boats and yet you never see any sailing anywhere - so curious. Perhaps it is time to change this?

Your thoughts would be welcome.

I really love this idea
@SantieClaws !!

It would be great if they treated the boats like the free places you get in each alliance and certain zones.

You would have actual storage space (like the warhog) to prepare for Fishmas. It would also work as an incentive for ZoS to actually make crown store boats. Selling more elaborate and interesting vessels for the unknown seas....

I find this a excellent idea! It would be so nice to be able to sail around the waters of Elsweyr! My khajiit is already looking forward to this!

Skorro

Horker on a skateboard for overland and water mount! 😃

Iccotak

They should make an extensive ship system not only for rivers but also for the open water.
Imagine;
- Ship PvP battle zones
- Ship PvE with enemy ships and sea monsters

Khenarthi

I would love a paddleboard, but a barrel actually sound more amusing.

WoppaBoem

yes boat mount please, 1+

Loulong

Khajiit has sampled too many fishies from this lake!

Chaos2088

If we get to explore the seas of nirn, would love this!
