LE The ability to use magicka spells underwater.

[Smeagoluk]

This is for you community of modders out there that would like some ideas for a really useful mod.

 

Introduction:

 

Have you ever wondered from the days of Oblivion that you where able to use magicka or weapons in combat while underwater. However I have found that within Skyrim, this feature is not possible. As soon as you hit the water (swimming or diving), your abilities to defend yourself have been disabled and slaughter-fish have a feast. This can be a little awkward if you have found a wreck 'deep' underwater and with only a water-breathing spell in hand.

 

Not only are you aware that you've only just got enough time to dive, do a quick search and then get to the surface as soon as possible before you drown to death. Not only are you secretly hoping to not get attacked by anything, which would only speed up your untimely death. But you know that you can not use any form of magicka or combat while diving to a wreck deep under-water, thinking you could do with a water-breathing spell right now and the ability to just kill any slaughter-fish which keeps delaying your desperate efforts for fresh air.

 

Idea for any modders:

 

To make a mod, so that your character can have the ability to use magicka while you are underwater, such as a water-breathing spell so you are able to stay submerged for longer while using a certain spell or a created spell, such as a (water-spear) spell that can be casted under-water during a combat situation. Have it so other spells that exist in Skyrim, ie: night-eye spell, etc. can be used also or what spells or abilities that would be related to a character under-water.

 

This is my idea of a very useful mod to have in Skyrim, not only will this enhance the exploration of the under-water world, but enhance the experience you will have while playing Skyrim.

 

Please feel free to comment on this idea and to any modders that decide to take on this challenge, good luck. :)

After finding that my Argonian is helpless in water when it comes to combat, I decided to have a look in the Creation Kit. And found that there is the option to disable called 'No Combat in Water', I disabled(or so I thought) that for the Argonian race in Character/Race in the Creation Kit. But my Argonian is still unable to fight in water, nor any of the other races that I tried disabling that option. Yet the Slaughterfish are unable to fight in water after I enabled the No combat in water option for them, or at least the Slaughterfish that I had previously killed and then after loading my experimental mod resurrected him and also did the reset character command as well.

 

At this point I have no clue(first time using the Creation Kit) how to enable combat under water, but at least I can make the Slaughter fish as helpless in water as my Argonian :D But somebody did figure it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cisn0z5KxqM&list=FLjfhfaubgaQ5JCzDEwGwACA&feature=mh_lolz, but hasn't released the mod as of yet due to being incomplete. So I am crossing my fingers hoping that will be released soon, or even one that just gives you a few spells to use when under water for combat, or I'll get lucky and get a 'ha ha! I've got it' moment.
