cosmetic inaccuracy with swimming near water's surface?

Post by ahehalftalftow »

Hello,
I have noticed that while swimming in Vanilla Morrowind, your character's head can breach the surface of the water, allowing you to more easily navigate while in water. In OpenMW, it seems only the very top of PCs head will breach the surface of the water, making it very difficult to see where you are swimming to. this issue, being only cosmetic, doesn't seem to warrant a bug report, so i am posting it here in case it's worthwhile to fix.

As an argonian on my most recent save, and giving how hard I roleplay in morrowind, it seems fitting for this to be fixed pre-1.0, but is such low priority that i don't think it should be included in 0.37.0


edit: video of openMW vs Vanilla Morrowind when swimming at water's surface:

//This isn't a bug, nor is it a feature request, and it's actually pretty trivial, but it makes swimming [more] annoying
//edit2: video not working, due to the fact that my computer lost internet connection during upload. will reupload sometime soon
