Bug Report: Slaughterfish

I got eaten alive by earlier by slaughterfish. This makes sense as slaughterfish are crazy, razortoothed, flesh-eating fish-monsters. HOWEVER, the avid fisherman I am, I know that slaughterfish only reside in FOUL waters. This occurred in ocean water. Unacceptable! Fix this please.

    Slaughterfish are the ESO-equivalent of "do not go there" - you cannot win against them - they will eat you alive, if you go where ZOS does not want you to go.

    It's sometimes funny with what game designer come up, when they do not want you to go to a specific area - in Archeage for example, if you wanted to fly with your glider above the sea in order to bombard a ship or so - they collapsed your wings and you fell from the sky :smiley:

    Slaughterfish are used by ZOS as a way of preventing people from swimming too far out from land, and to prevent accesing areas they don't want you to get to.

    Yes, but I have seen some tricky swimmers in videos, who managed to outswim them - buffed of course, and get on uncharted land before the fish could slaughter them whole.

    Todays Fish Report is Salmon with a chance of River Betty. There is a 0% chance of that one blue lake fish that Khajiit still needs in Stormhaven.

    Khajiit often wonders who is Betty and why she is in the river?

    Sounds like you're just fishing for replies. B)
    Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

    Slaughterfish in TESO are fished up in Foul Water yes, but in TESV: Skyrim they could be found in any body of water too, be it ocean lake or river.

    There is always one fish in each zone that takes forever...

    This one will never forget the Midget Salmon in Alik'r and the Blue Monkfish in Auridon...

    OP: I got that achievement on day 1 playing the game and I laughed out loud.

    @Lysette
    Actually, that wasn't a game designer's idea.

    The death by slaughterfish was proposed by our very own Psijic Order beta tester Tabbycat during the closed beta in November of 2013 as a forum poll "Would you rather drown or be eaten alive by slaughterfish?".

    ZOS liked the idea and ran with it starting with the 0.16 beta patch.

    Before that, you would simply drown if you swam too far out.

    Slaughterfish are a sort of adaptive fish, way back in morrowind shows us you could find them both in the see, in lakes and even inside cave leaks.
