So we have water in this game, right? Infact, we have lots of it. Loads. And we can dive underwater... without needing to rise up to the surface again? Unrealistic.


Ok so the subject says it all. Like us, real life felines and canines cannot breathe underwater. So, there should be a limit.

In character creation, there should be a box that you can tick to say if your character can breathe underwater, because there could be a fictional feline or canine that can breathe underwater. This is just an idea, obviously.

The could be...difficult. What if you have a map that has a cave under water. You'd want to get to that without having to come up ever second/minute. Bubbles though, I wouldn't mind.

I dunno, sure it's unrealistic, but still. Having a penalty for being in water just doesn't sound right. I mean, what's gonna happen if you stay under too long? Die and spawn somewhere else? Get logged out? FeralHeart is supposed to be realistic sure, but it's not totally realistic, I mean with purple wolves and blue lions running around.
But as Smokey said, I wouldn't mind bubbles either.

I don't think this is needed. If you want your character to come up for air, press 'r' for rise and wala, it rises to the surface. You can use your imagination. c:

Thank chu Rubeh.

But like you said, if we had a button(Kinda like lip sync)to click if we wanted to rise and fall, I could MAYBE settle for that...

  Realism is down the drain here. The only realism ever mentioned is ANATOMY, which has nothing to do with breathing under water. The amount of people who think realistic anatomy means everything in the game needs to be realistic is killing me. Just to point out the fact that nothing has really been said about anything other than anatomy being realistic.

  And I think this is an unneccessary thing. After all, it's not like you can die in game, so there is really no point to this... and as it has been said above, all it takes is to press R, a little imagination and such to do that.

Wait.. I didn't think we could go underwater in FH, so this entire thing would be kind of a moot point?
If I missed that you could go underwater at some point.. I still don't think there's a point to this, since you can't die, like Kyugima said.

  To dive and rise press R to go up, and F to go down when in the water.

I like the idea, but I have to go against it. I like being able to go underwater without any time limit staring at me. :3 It's too...video game like, you know? I'm going to stick with Teal on this one. RP is your best friend.
