Falling in the water?

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 11:32 am

Haven't really seen a thread about this but as the title says while I'm swimming my character takes a gasp of air then proceeds to sink 20 or so feet.

It's a little weird? It only really happens when I use the water breathing spell.

Your character just sinks without you even swimming downward? Very strange.

Try swimming through Broken Oar Grotto, every now and then you get pulled down

Swimming in various parts of the Vale cave system, I get pulled straight to the bottom. Luckily I'm an Argonian, so it was just a mild annoyance. Swim closer to the sides, it happens less that way.

Seems like sometimes there are pockets of air.

It also makes the noise as if I were drowning.

It's pretty common and has always happened in Skyrim. I think it's due to the game not loading water properly or something along those lines.

Oh! Good idea, lets just pretend sea monsters are pulling us down once in a while and that water works. :banana:

I'm almost positive this is it. It's a bug, but a very, very minor one in comparision. It occurs in many different bodies of water. It's kinda just an accident where they didn't get the water to properly cover the entire area it's supposed to.
