Ressayez Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Because making characters and mobs able to swim means lots of work to do in terms of art/animations and code. You worded this more like a question than a suggestion, so there’s your answer.

Evivo Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It would make an interesting mechanic though. Swimming fills the log meter and when it gets full while he's swimming he morphs back and drowns.

Axelocke Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Well, maybe not swim, but I definitely think they should let Werebeaver paddle with his tail.

Toroic Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think that the best thing for woodie would be a werebeaver rework to make him work very much like wilba. Traditionally Woodie with werebeaver form was very much a hybrid gatherer fighter but the cost of using werebeaver was quite high as you'd drop your full inventory and end up with low stats when you changed back. Something like wilba but with weak offense, no additional sanity drain, the ability to swim and to pick up resources would be an amazing niche for Woodie. Werebeaver could fully transition into an explorer/gatherer role without directly competing with Max as it could efficiently gather sea resources and take shortcuts he couldn't. Ships currently are quite clunky and gathering bull kelp is slow and awkward. Beavers are quite skilled swimmers and restricting swimming to werebeaver only shouldn't cause any balance concerns.

Well-met Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 With the latest update, it seems clear Klei's intent does not involve swimming. Anyone in contact with the water is either death or shore teleport.
