Swimming mounts should NOT be this much fun!

I went to vivec and tried all my mount categories (didn't have some of them) and I have to say, I LOVE the guar jumping!

I have the floral bear that leaves a trail of blue sparkles, and if you jump, it leaves a trail of blue sparkles in the water. (doesn't do it when just swimming).

I tried one of the camels, and I love how they angled them sort of up.

As for the legs in the water, at least near vivec, the water 'ripples' make it look like my horses are treading water when not moving, though I couldn't see if they are actually standing still.

All in all, fun!

TBH I spent most of my time on the PTS swimming about on all types of mount. It's one of the best QOL they have done and I glad most are enjoying it.

Makes getting crafting nodes and crafting reports sooooo much easier, especially when the nodes are on an island or just over the range of being allowed to "skip" water while mounted.

Rivenspire & Shadowfen Jewellery and Grahtwood Enchanting surveys... the latter of which I used to avoid like the plague.

I didn't realize until now just how much my entire body would tense up anytime I was within eyesight of water while mounted.

Swimming is definitely a QOL win for me, and it's so much fun!

i dearly love the water swimming ........... A Skyrim element come home.

i would also dearly love to ride horses bareback. No bridle, no reins, no saddle, nothing. Jst as thy are like I do in real life. Sunny day, warm skin, happy horse feels she doesnt have to work. Just make it invisible if its too much work to digitally remake a tackless horse then I can wear my Bathing gear on a bareback horse swimming because you dont swim saddled horses!!!

I love mount swimming as well! I just have to say this, I bet the reaction they are getting from players about mount swimming was the reaction they expected to get about Subclassing! 😂

Woohooooooo, my Ebon Dwarven Wolf Mount is a speedboat !!!!

I've always hated being force to dismount when crossing too deep bodies of water, and I've always loved Vvardenfell precisely because it's possible to ride in shallow waters almost everywhere on the island.

Then ZoS made possible to ride in the water and omg this is way too fun and enjoyable, we don't even lose speed, I love it.
