Swim like an Argonian!

All races should have a way to zip through water like an Argonian. I think a potion would be the best way to implement, but maybe set gear? Thoughts?

    If you are going across a larger body of water the effect wears off mid-swim and you can't cast it when you are in the water.

    Potions could work. Could also maybe tie it in with the jewelry trait Swift that increases movement speed, so it increases swim speed as well.

    Unless it already does that. Haven't been on the PTS.

    Get a running start + jump from your mount for additional head start.

    What body of water are you regularly crossing that takes more than 30 seconds with 30% speed boost?

    Potions would be worse than Rapids of Accelerate. This might work, though.

    Would be water walking straight to Dagon Fel. Really hope they open that area up eventually (islands north of Vvardenfell)

    Maybe a water-walking spell with spellcrafting?

    Always wanted a crafted set with this bonus to pair with Fjord for farming. Could turn my stamSorc into an argonian but gear would be best.

    Obvious issue would be that enemies could not fight back. You can notice this then hitting enemies at the other side of an river.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Sorry that you didn't pick the coolest race. My argonians are happy every time they go swimming.

    Wasn't that Morrowind? I don't recall water walk potions in Oblivion, but it's been a while since I played.

    Yes, Argonians are the master race (see sig block) but my poor nord...she's so slow. Maybe it's the drinking...

    My Argonian is named Swims Like Nord.

    Swimming is difficult. Argonians have large strong tails used to propel them. Where's your tail?
