Underwater Vision Should be Blurry

  • Personally I think our character's underwater vision should be blurry. I don't expect this to be popular, but what the hell. We're not wearing goggles, how can we see soo clearly underwater?

  • There's a fine line between reality, pirate fantasy, what makes a great mechanic, and fun.

    Being blind underwater would not be fun.

    With that said, I wouldn't mind there being other water effects - for example, having small, temporary droplets of water on the screen as you exit the water.

  • @galactic-geek Blind? Bit of an overstatement don't you think? A slight blur and wave effect is far from not being able to see. Also droplets don't really make sense. If we had goggles, yeah perfect sense, but you don't see droplets when you leave the water irl.

  • how did you come up with this idea? when did you think that "i see perfectly clean underwater... it's not right". it's a game, it's not irl. I guess they made it like this so the scenery gets more apprecation and it makes finding things easier too, given that you can only spend 45 seconds there without losing health.
    oh... and.... you never blink in-game... doesn't really make sense. they should add it.

    There's a difference between being blind and being completely blind... 🙄

  • @mferr11 Not a fan of this. Sounds interesting at first but I think it would get old quick. I can see the frustration trying to navigate underwater tunnels, finding small quest items/books, finding ship ladders, and solving that puzzle when the room starts to fill up. Just because its more realistic does not make it a good/fun mechanic. Just like the suggestion awhile back to make shooting disabled while underwater because of wet powder. Realistic, yes. Fun, no. Anyway those are my 2 cents.

  • Sounds like a torture to the eyes, that would make your eyes sore.

  • To be fair, it is a cool concept. Thing is that this game wasn’t really meant to have realistic features as this one. This wouldn’t be very fun when it comes to under water exploration and such or combat underwater. Since this is a fantasy game, I think it is okay as is.
