True about the doors, although to be fair, WoW to this day has no openable doors or hatchways. Zero. I’ve told WoW players that and they swear I’m lying. I kid them not. Check it out sometime. All the cities, all towns, all the dungeons have nothing but openings in buildings. No doors ever swing, or open or close in that game. Which in my opinion only makes it all the more cartoonish and silly.
But I agree, this game in 2021 should 100% have opening and closing doors!
Even Skyrim has them. Heck, Oblivion has them and that game is over 15 years old.
Because the excellent engine they are using has no way to make a character swim…true story.
Imagine a rival Dev opening up NW and seeing the walk to the bottom of the lake and no swimmimng. The laughter could be heard @ Amazpn HQ. They wouldnt have omitted swimming if the could in any way put it into the game.
Have you watched Pirates of the Caribbean?
The Undead walk under water.
What happens at the beginning of the New World?
Your ship goes down and you “wake up” in an Island.
That means… everything in New World is actually dead, this is why you respawn after you “die”… It is all an illusion, my friend. We are all dead in the game.
And the water walking is the tip for this mystery.
…
Nah… There is no reason for no swimming. Is really bad to launch the game without.
Ive seen this before , the attempt at logic. Then the logic fails when someone says ‘When i take off all armour and drop everything I own on the ground why can I still not swim’?
Even in d&d plate don’t make you less agile seeing it only limits the bonus to dex. It just does not permit great feats of dexterity, but you are still as capable to act and work as any normal human.
