- WorshipsMeridia We have dragons/vampire hunters in Skyrim I am AWARE. That is NOT what I meant. I meant hunter hunters. Animal hunters. Sweet Meridia.

What even with the diving suits. THAT IS NOT HOW THE RENNAISANCE WORKED.

- WorshipsMeridia with dive suits i meant dweamer dive suits...just saying...cuz it would be freakin awsome to go to the dethps of the ocean and kill a freaking monster squid Water. Breathing. Potions.

Why would the Dwemer make diving suits? They didn't live near any large bodies of water, to my knowledge, and we have no reason to think they'd be curious about it.

Dude. You missed my point entirely.

Rennaisance (you should really learn how to spell that) as an aesthetic would not mesh well with the Elder Scrolls.

I am not questioning the validity of Da Vinci. I am not saying that diving suits are not a Rennaisance thing. (I am, however, going to say right now that Da Vinci's wings did not and could not work.) I am not saying anything, in fact, that could warrant you emphasizing the CREATED BY DA VINCI part so strongly.

I am just saying that that is a) not really an effective way to convey a Rennaisance aesthetic (because that was not really what the Rennaisance was about), b) unnecessary in-universe, due to the existence of Levitate and Waterbreathing spells (and probably potions, too), and c) not something that would go well with the aesthetic of the Elder Scrolls.

Yes, it would be awesome. BUT YOU CAN ALREADY DO THAT. In fact, I am thinking of adding a quest where you have to kill a krakeny sea monster purely to show off the deep-water-diving capacity of non-diving-suited characters. And for the awesomeness value. That would be very awesome. Although actually, I don't think there are krakens in TES. I know they have sea serpents. Would a sea serpent do? If you choose to sail, or even go somewhere near the coast, there'll be sea serpents. From what I saw in the wiki page for TESO sea serpents, they are EPIC-LOOKING.
