killing slaughterfish : V

You can't fight underwater but something I found does work is the spell firecloak while out of the water then if you go in the water the fish attack you and commit suicide. Only way I found to easily get scales from them. I really don't know why they removed underwater fighting and spells. They allowed it in Oblivion so they know how to do the animations for it.

I don't know why they removed it either. We could fight underwater not just in Oblivion but in Morrowind also.

Either take enemies out of the water or let us defend ourselves when we're underwater. Those are the two rational choices.

Wait until they follow you up on land :whistling: and then smack them.

With the lack of underwater fighting, an Argonian's ability to breath underwater serves little purpose, save for searching sunken ships and waterlogged dungeon areas. If they'd rather not allow all races to fight underwater, why not tie it in with the ability to breathe underwater; be it naturally like an Argonian, through enchanted items or even through use of water breathing potions and ingredients?

Meh, Lydia snipes them all for me as soon as I get aggro.

I've found no reason for... anything underwater. Maybe I'm missing out?

They probably removed it because they couldnt make it work

I remember an epic underwater fight with an ENORMOUS slaughterfish in a certain dungeon back in Oblivion. Sigh. Those were the days.

Really. Inability to jump while running or attack while swimming/jumping??? COME ON. How these basic game mechanics were eschewed in favor of STREAMLINING just ruffles my manhairs.

I don't lieve home without it :wink_smile:

When I first got it, I HATED the smoke-like effect. Then, all of the sudden, it stopped working, then I was like "where the hell is my smoke?!?!?!?"

Fortunately, just unequip/equip brought it back.

Nothing like having 1 slaugterfish in a lake hold up your companion cause he keeps running in after it, then floating beside it for a while, then running back to land, then back into the water. Plus I can't even find it to shoot it...

It's also an enemy alert gadget right? :lol:

What i do is use the Aura Whisper shout and then i shoot an arrow in this annoying fish.

How could I make it to level 54 without running into one?

take them to shallow water and beat them with a mace!

Yea whenever my mage sees slaughterfish in the water he starts flinging fireballs like a maniac at every droplet of water he can find
