When you take a dip, you get covered with water. Entirely.
When you want to, you can drink that water. Licking water off your hand is the same as drinking it from a waterskin. Drinking water that covers your head is a concept I haven't really figured out yet. There seems to be so much water that covers you that you can go from thirsty to "too full" by drinking the water from just the upper body and arms. You can also drink blood that splatters over you. And any other liquid too. That's probably a bug. :P
More, shouldn't a little bath wash away all this blood?
My character had a bath after a cave, and that goddamn ichor was still stuck at his mace!
Whenever I try to enter water, it doesn't let me. I even bought 8 ranks in swim.
Also, how do you get the water into your waterskin? I'm tired of having to leave caves because I can't find anything to drink.
Has anyone figured out how to swim ashore from a river? I've lost two adventurers that way (2nd one was trying to swim from river to brook, which doesn't work).
[Edit]
Hmm. Nevermind. I could've sworn that worked though.

I've tried drinking blood off my armor and weapons, but it doesn't let me :(
"No. That's disgusting."
. . . Erm . . . that's the point! My swordsman will eat beetles straight out of the ground, but he's too much of a panzy to drink a little blood!
That's pretty hilarious about drinking water off your body. Now if I can just take a swim without getting killed. Do you guys recommend jumping into one of those rives in a chasm?

I've gone back to the old version because I'm getting so annoyed with this stuff. If I go back then I'm just going to use a race which can fly. Most annoying thing ever: went into a town where I was immediately attacked by the mayor and some drunks. After killing them I found that there was a one tile wide path out of the town hall, with a tree in the way. The alternative? Jumping down a cliff. The travel key wouldn't work as I was in a hostile village. ;_; Not being able to travel with stolen good exasperates the problem even more! That having been said, when this is all fixed it's going to be so awesome :)
Ah, and for the moment, modding a flying adventurer won't be really handly, since you'll be able to fly only when you have these mini-map that appears.
