Aqueous Mounts, or boats

Would be able to move through the water much faster and look way cooler than just swimming. Hell, maybe not even a mount but a Rowing Boat or something.

I know these things aren't important or necessary at all but they would be cool and I personally wound't mind owning one, just so I can cruise around the Tamriel Waters in style.

(Sorry Argonians :/ )

    Boats. Yes! That would be amazing! Imagine things like fishing holes you can only get to by using a little boat!

    Perhaps you could mount an Argonian.

    A disgusting thought :s

    Why is that gif backwards :D

    I'm not too sure about an actual aquatic mount. However, I think it would be nice if some of our mounts would have some kind of animation in the water, rather than the instant dismount and disappear thing we have now.
    For instance, horses can swim fine when they need to. Same with all the cat mounts. It should be extremely slow if you stay mounted on them when this happens, but still possible to travel. The guars however, I don't think they could swim at all, therefore they would have to protest about going into deep water and then force dismount in a more dynamic way than what we have.

    I wouldn't be opposed to our regular mounts being able to swim but mounts JUST for the water... the thought actively makes me angry. :lol:

    But your horse being able to swim? SURE! I've actually suggested this very thing @Glaiceana

    In my "Advanced Mounts Overhaul Concept"
    (http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/159507/advanced-mounts-overhaul-concept/p1) I suggested additional riding skills be added and one of those skills was:
    • Aquestrian: One point in this skill and mounts are able to swim in the water, upgrades increase its speed in the water. (Get it? Aquestrian... hehe)

    Just adding swimming animations to the existing mounts so that we won't be dismounted for any puddle would be enough IMO.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    So would "aqueous mounts" evaporate in the desert? Or do you mean "aquatic mounts"?

    A big NO to riding seahorses or kelpies...
    A big YES to having boats you could use to row over the water surface, and maps where they might actually mean something.

    Also... a YES as well to horses you could teach how to not disappear when they get their feet wet...
