DivineAurora Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Was looking into adding underwater and jumping combat to my modlist, but I can't find any things that offer it without significant bugs. Character Behaviors Enhanced for instance makes it impossible to cast spells on dragonback and removes some animations in key story moments and removes cross-attack dual wielding attacks in order to add a dual-wielding block. I'd like to see something without bugs or removing existing abilities. There also seem to be a lot of issues with how weapons are drawn underwater or dealing with the transitions between water and out of it in the mods I've managed to find. I'd prefer something much smoother and more intuitive with things working relatively normally. Of course, I don't want to do silly things like let a character use 2 handed weapons or torches underwater, but being able to draw and sheathe one handed weapons and prepare and put away spells normally in one hand while swimming would be something that I think should be much more reasonable. Underwater shouts should be possible, but perhaps only when a character has some form of waterbreathing (via being an Argonian or some form of enchantment, spell, or potion). Jumping shouts should definitely be possible. I suspect that simply editing the Character Behaviors Enhanced mod to patch it might not work for this wishlist and avoiding the bugs and lost features, and someone might have to start a new mod from scratch that works in a different way, but I hope someone takes this up regardless. A minor wishlist aspect for such a mod would be alternate animations for underwater shock/fire/frost effects, causing frost effects to generate more ice while underwater, fire effects to turn into a jet of heat distortions and bubbles as if boiling the water, and I'm not sure about how shock effects should look different, perhaps an extra amount of colored magic glow due to the extra containment needed to keep the spell from going off target and shocking everything around you while underwater?
