Hi folks, I played this game a bit when it first came out, really liked the game alot, except for the pesky problem of not being able to swim or dive under water. Besides the fact of not being able to retrieve loot on the seabed which is annoying, I've always loved games that gave you the feeling that you can really explore everywhere. Taking away the underwater aspect just kind of dumbs this game down in my opinion.

There have been countless games developed over the last 20+ years which featured underwater exploration. I mean, swimming underwater to find a cave entrance in Elder Scrolls 3 (Morrowind) was one of my favorite gaming moments ever!

I'm fine with having limitations on swimming (breath meter, can't swim with heavy armor, etc - whatever) but I am really stumped as to why Valheim devs did not include this in the base game.
