You Can't Swim Underwater in Starfield

[Darius]

This get me worried for TES 6

[Ommamar]

For some reason most modern games seem to have made this design decision. I do remember Andreja (sp?) saying something about swimming in the water of New Atlantis as being dangerous. I found this odd as you are always on the surface so what could be dangerous?

[Tazz]

You can,t swim cos their no fish under the water all the fish up in the sky... actually at some planet i don't remember i fly with my jetpack searching for anything that can be scan... suddenly i been attack by something when i saw a group of fish is attacking me...what the hell i say im still flying in the sky ....now i realize all the fish in that planet is floating in the sky not on water

All the water is too buoyant. I just forces you to the top because it just works

You also don't lose any health when you drop into water from 100m height. Beth devs are incompetent.

[Mosley was right]

To be fair: TES IV had me worried for TES VI. TES V confirmed those worries.

As the words above the tomb in LOTR Return of the King said: Abandon all hope ye who enter.

Someone should place that above the entrance to Bethesda HQ...

Dante's Inferno, originally.

"it just works" todd
imagine actually listening to todd and upgrading your pc for this game.

Yeah, I strongly recommend against upgrading for this game. It was able to play on high settings and it looks average at best. This isn't on a 2023 AAA level, in fact even Talos Principle 2 which is a AA game looks better than this and also has a vastly superior visual design. This is probably down to the fact that Croteam isn't creatively bankrupt lime Bethesda is.

Minecraft is like this too. It must be an absolutely terrible unsuccessful game.

Ah yes, minecraft: that eternally classic Sci-fi drama that all fans of the genre remember with fondness....

Wait-

You can't compare the two. Minecraft was a flash in the pan type thing, the right thing at the right time. Shartfield is more of a turd in the toilet situation.

You know if you did get hurt from it people would be complaining about that instead.

I wouldn't, I was actually really surprised when it happened. Tried the same thing in Talos Principle 2 two days ago and died from impact like I should have. Goes to show that AA devs who are competent and proud of their work are more diligent than lazy and incompetent Bethesda devs.

Right but, this has always been the case with Bethesda, it's not a new lazy thing, it's an old lazy thing.

It's the year of our Lord 2023, game design is meant to improve over time. A lazy thing is a lazy thing whether it's new or just something they forgot about.

In an ideal world I would agree with that, but looking at the state of games now and in the recent past, Improved is not the word I would choose. It's sad, and, it's not an excuse, but it's also not surprising.
