I hate if I have to wait till a year from now for a mod to fix it. MURKY water seems to be a theme with Bethesda.
I can't answer your questions about water visibility, but apparently power armor doesn't float well according to a few comments I've read.
Yeah, diving in Power Armor is a good way to lose your frame.
Boston waters aren't clear in modern day lol don't know what you'd expect 200 years after a nuclear war
its actually very nimble in the water, its like the worlds best speed boat..
or cement block...
i never really figured it myself but does anyone know if the power armor lets you breathe underwater without the perk?
And I was going to say .... don't drink it.
Don't drink the water!
I hear its not safe.
I've used Power Armor to explore underwater but the problem is that you cant swim haha, So they got that right but man its tough getting around under water in a suit of PA.
I guess Brita didn't survive the apocalypse or they just couldn't figure out how to filter out poo and radiation.
Hazmat suit also lets you breath underwater, at least from my limited experimentation.
