No oxygen gauge?

[Requin des bois]

Hi,

Is it me or a bug?
I've just started SE, going to Neugrad, and into the lake we can reach there, but I cannot see any oxygen gauge on my screen...
And no, not playing an argonian...

Right, there is no gauge. Just surface when you start to take damage, or get a helmet of water breathing. You don't need to go under water in this game often enough to really worry about it, unfortunately.

Well, having played a little with the original version, I REALLY enjoyed going underwater, looking for chests/artefacts/ships to explore and so on. :/
I don't understand why they've removed that...

[WR3ND]

There isn't one in the older game either, unless maybe you got a mod for it or something.

[Requin des bois]

Well, am I mistaking with Morrowind? So many years I've not played those games...
Anyway, weird choice to not have that lovely gauge. :(

There's a game called Subnautica it has one :)

[WR3ND]

There is one in Oblivion as well. I thought you meant the older version of Skyrim. But yeah, it is kind of strange, though like I was saying, there isn't as much underwater content in Skyrim. Still, there is some though.

Go and get the Deathbrand Armor. That should sort it out for you alright. The helm has water breathing.

Ah, that should be that. Have stopped the game early 2012. Maybe a patch solv...bring this problem. :/

There's about 5 instances I can recall that going underwater serves any purpose anyway.
