FULL STORY
======================================================================

One Starfield modder has now added the option to go diving underwater, 
allowing players to see what lurks under the surface of the enormous 
role-playing games bodies of water. 

Created by Nexus Mods user Ghostrider231, the Underwater Diving Restoration 
mod enables players to look at Starfield s aquatic wildlife in its natural 
habitat, and even harvest [creatures] non-lethally. The mod brings back 
features of underwater exploration that fans of Bethesdas other games will 
remember well, like bubble noises and oxygen levels which deplete the longer 
you stay under. That means that players will have to resurface occasionally 
so that their character doesnt drown. 

Although its an exciting addition that expands on the exploration already 
present across Starfield s 1,000+ planets, there are a few catches that 
prospective players should be aware of. For a start, since the base game 
doesnt have diving programmed in, the mysterious depths dont actually look 
how players would hope. With no underwater fog, it kind of looks like youre 
floating around in the air. Except the air is full of fish. 

Otherwise, its also worth noting that the third-person camera doesnt follow 
your character (the modder adds that your character will still dive as if you 
were in first person), and that underwater swimming doesnt follow the same 
rules as zero-gravity movement. That means that youll have to look up or down 
to move in vertical directions. Ghostrider231 has also stated that you might 
need to fast travel back and forth between two locations to make the mod 
work. 

If you want to take your Starfield exploration to the next level, the 
Underwater Diving Restoration mod can be downloaded for free from Nexus Mods 
, but since its not an official download, be sure to proceed with caution if 
you choose to install it.
