"Realism" especially as it applies to fantasy worlds and concepts, is absolutely useless in video games.

Doesn't sound like there's much you can do about this so that makes it bad design. I'm not even to this part of the game and it's already sounding disappointing, like why even build a ship.

Like most issues with this game it seems mods will have to solve the problem.

The community is committed to enabling the slow and terribly guided development of this game so guess there's not much else to say besides hope some modder fixes it or already has.

Well when looking into the game, it has a huge focus of realism, you can't build large buildings without support, ships get damaged by storms, skeletons are weak to blunt damage as greydwarfs/lings are weak to torches. So the fact that undead do not have to breathe what-so-ever, it makes sense they can shoot bows and such under water.

If this game had a focus on realism, we'd be able to use tools and weapons and actually freakin' dive under water. So no, that argument goes right out the window.

I agree 100% with the OP here. It's ridiculous.
