We favor 1st person games in general and never play in 3rd person if the 1st person is an option.

As for underwater combat, in Oblivion one could punch, swing a sword/dagger or use touch spells (Electricuting Slaughterfish is sooo satisfying!) As for it being "ugly", that's realistic.

In real life, Navy Seals use daggers as their main underwater weapon as stabbing is better than trying to swing a blade and spearguns are clumsy and don't have enough power. That first line sounded just like my father. With "ugly", i meant unrealistic. The Hero isn't trained like Seals and yet he can swim with a 60 pounds daedric armor and swing a claymore underwater.
