Made my first lizard and I couldn't wait to jump in the water and I gotta say...I'm disappointed. I love the speed it's great, but I was shocked that they kept the SAME animation as everyone else! If these are master swimmers, why are they not gracefully swimming head first wiggling their bodies through the water? What is this side paddle business I'm seeing, I feel like it's such a missed opportunity, what were they thinking?

    I dislike the side crawl swim in general, it just looks weird on everyone. But argonians I expect to swim more like crocodiles, using their whole bodies, especially their tail.

    Thank you!!! I feel the same way, they definitely should swim like crocs and the default swim animation also looks odd, never liked it.

    Depends on what type of armour it is.

    Samurai armor could weigh about 25kg. That's over 55 lbs.
