Still can't swim

[Hammerhi99]

This isn't Skyrim. Swimming in suits of metal (or even heavy leather) generally doesn't end well.

At least as long as you aint a witch, cause witches DO actually swim in middle ages!

Noone said it needs to be possible with armor though, it could be possible to swim in civil clothes or without clothes only.

Wrong, witches float. Like a duck.

What would such a conditional thing add to the game though?

Not much, thats why I don't support the idea

Yeah, but you forget the chainmail! I´m pretty sure, ducks (and of course whitches) in chainmail would drown if they just rely on their floating abilities. You know, like sharks will just sink to the ground when they stop moving. ?

I'm in the belief TW never plan to implement this feature, if my memory serves me correctly.

Amphibic landing of Vlandian sergents against Battanian Champs... I am sure it goes well. Something doable doesn't mean something practical.

If you want to place your Robin Hoods into the lake that might work to some degree though. Then again elevation would be better in the scale of real armies, not in guerilla or bandit warfare.

If players can swim, it will bring more gaming experience to multiplayer role-playing mods like PW4.5

Imagine going into battle with nothing but a thin chainmail shirt over a tshirt. wew

When you develop features that nobody will ever see or use, it's just a waste of time and manpower. It might satisfy someone's fixation, but that's all it will do.

Please don't forget to add men & ladies swimsuits to the markets otherwise this feature won't be immersive.

Impressive.
What happens in full armour and clothes (boots, gambeson, etc.)?
How long can you swim?
What happens to your weapons?
Was swimming a common skill in the timeframe of the game?
Why would you want to go swimming in the middle of a battle?
