Yeah they usually at least try to clean up their tracks. I feel like they could have path blocked the water sections pretty fast and then just added swimming at a later date. Instead we get this water death march. I don’t know why I assumed AMZ would be the company to care lmao

That video is a perfect example of how silly the situation is.
It is because you are really a zombie
Sad, still no word from devs even to acknowledge. At least pretend you care about your product…

READ the topic.
Here a copy and paste
And you actually know that if you have light armour or a lighter bag weight
Do cancel dodge rolls
You can be faster then with heavy armour… right?
Yeah because its realistic only you lose your half health when you jump from the highest peak with 1000 wooden log in you inventory.
I am sure their concern was realism when they decided to not implement swimming.

Swimming in armor is not unrealistic at all. There were medieval as well as ancient military academies that actually taught “how to swim in armor”

Interestingly enough, up until the nineteenth century the majority of Europeans could not swim. Not even the sailors. Swimming was considered an uncivilised activity and even before bathrooms became widespread people stuck to rivers to get their bathing done.
Sailors believed that if the ship capsizes or you go overboard you are going to die at sea anyway so no point in delaying the inevitable. A fair assumption on their part, considering how cold the sea is and the number of predators swimming close to surface.

Yeah…swimming is one of those things I can do without. If they ever put it in the game I will be like ,“Okay cool. Next.” It’s hardly game breaking.
Found the guy who shoots down every reasonable idea because he is simply a contrarian who thinks the game is fine as-is and doesn’t need the sweeping adjustments it desperately, actually needs.
It’s funny, I assume in the very beginning when the ship sank, the guy walked towards the beach

I always giggle at people who don’t understand that in a fantasy setting magic is real, it’s established. walking under water is not

I know it’s not a priority but please swimming needs to be added.
What we have now is not a good solution at all. Plus it’s an Activity many people enjoy, and it adds movement variety.
Swimming is really not that big of a deal compared to other things they need to fix. On the whole, the game released in a playable state and I’m having fun. Looking forward to what’s next.
Yeah, there are a lot of things they need to fix, the more I play the more I realize how this game is still in early beta. They’re going to keep kicking most of this down the road though until abandonment. I can already see it.
