Boats have always been a small topic in elder scrolls games, but the argument has always and rightfully been "where's the to go?" and "what's the point"? Well now the are places to go by boat! The Iliac bay for example has many small islands to explore not to mention the small islands surrounding Summerset.

Not only that but boats could also be used as a form of warfare, siege ships could be the turning point in taking a coastal town like anvil or Leyawiin, if the siege ships could sale up the niben bay we could siege bravil or even have giant siege ships sailing in the center of the epic battle fields along the rumare!

What's your thoughts on personal boats and siege ships? Do you think they will include them and do you think they should?

Also there's no shame in a "You can't go any further" message.

Oh and boat homes, home is where you've traveled too with a boat home.

swimming is in place, boats not

While I loved owning my own boat in Daggerfall and have always enjoyed naval combat (a la Darkfall), I don't think it makes much sense in the setup of the game.

I'd be all for it, if Tamriel itself wasn't one giant landmass, save for Summerset Isle.

If they introduce Yokuda, Aldmeris or Akavir in a later expansion then I think real-time naval combat would become viable since a large expanse of ocean would now be playable space between two or more continents. But seeing as though the war for the White-Gold tower is pushing to the center of mainland Tamriel, I would imagine ship-to-ship combat would be not very viable and would rarely if ever occur.

I was looking at the map of Tamriel and it seems like the are allot of coastal towns and cities, then again PvP is only in cryodiil, then again most of cryodiil is accessible via the niben.
