As someone said before, the devs didn't intend you to swim everywhere. They made the raft and boats for that. Personally I like the fact that they made it harder. Some of you show your age with the rants on how hard things are in games these days, and I don't mean that as an insult. Back in the day you'd have 20 other things to worry about, constantly get one shot by simple mobs and bosses would take you literally 10+ trys to beat. Devs have gone too soft on people anymore, and that's why I love how they made this game slightly more hardcore than most others. I use that term loosely too, as it's really not that hard imo. The one thing I do agree with is that they shouldn't make the loot sink to the bottom of the bed to where you can't retrieve it.
