Underwater Combat: is it even possible?

Ive been doing a bit of reserch on any form of underwater combat, and all attempts have become fruitless.. is there any way that we can make this happen? Like new animations? And using a specific type of weapon, like daggers, maybe it will give me a reason to actually use them. I would really like to see this mod come to life, i can see that there would be an uproar if new mids afterwards for new dungeons,creatures, weapons, armors and many more things that could be made if only we were able to survive underwater attacks, while i know slaughterfish arent that hard in the first place but other aquatic creatures could be added as well.

Did you read the description? Especially this part.

 

you need to create a new character for this to work

Yeah, Beth dropped the ball on underwater combat - it was an integral part of Oblivion, but was just left out of Skyrim entirely. Obviously it's too cold to swim and fight at the same time in that frigid water.

I've tried that mod as well and it didn't work for me either. New character in a clean Skyrim install.

 

Opening up the mod to check it's internals, it looks like the only thing changed is setting the allow underwater attacking flag on all the playable races. This is a change I tried myself right after the creation kit was released and it didn't work then either. That mod should probably be removed.

 

From the information I've been able to find, allowing underwater combat requires editing the behavior files. I've tried looking at those but can't make much sense of them myself.

SaidenStorm was working on the behavior files to allow underwater combat before he quit modding, and got as far as uploading a video on youtube.

Looks like that's as close as anyone's come so far. It's a real shame SaidenStorm left the modding scene :sad:
