jimpaw Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hi guys, Something that really disturbes me in a lot of games are when the developers miss the water. It is such an important part in a fantasy game. Lucky for me Skyrims water looks good from above. But when you dive down under the surface it looks like you are diving in a swamp. If you have no clue what i mean have a look at Far cry (first game) ,They really nailed the water there.Off course that water is more clear since its pacific and all but i think the mountain water is way to dark and have unrealistic dark colors for beaing a stream from the mountains. Is it possible to make the water become more clear with a small tint of blues ? Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every swim in a lake or a pond in the middle of nowhere - generally you don't want to look at the murky depths below, it's not very pretty. That's why I'll swim with a smile and stay above in the sunshine. It's murky and not blue. I would like it clear only to make my game easier, but hey, it works and it's fair and not as gross as it could be considering it doesn't seem like there are far too many beach goers in skyrim. Sure there are some hunters chilling in the hot areas of the game, but that lake by goldenglow, with all those leaves and spiders and dead animals. Bleh.

Whitefire Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I love sailing, swimming, diving, whatever. I do it a lot. Most of the times, water isn't blue underwater. Water is blue when it reflects blue sky. It may be a little different for open sea but we do not have it in Skyrim. Do not take it personally, these are just some thoughts. What we see underwater still could be improved, i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
