Improve Swimming

[Godkin Veratas]

Swimming is astoundingly terrible in MO2, just as MO1.

Entering and exiting water is bad.

It's unnecessarily confusing to find out what one can carry, both equipment and armor weight and retain buoyancy.

Make swimming more like running and sprinting, the default swimming speed should not drain stamina. "Sprint" swimming should drain stamina.

Treading water at surface level should be easy to maintain if buoyancy rating is acceptable.

Waterdrops after emerging from the water would be awesome.

I don't think this is about looks.

I don't mind losing stamina from normal swim speed, it should just be a lot less severe.
As it stands swimming is literally one of the most dangerous things in MO.

There are other, potentially more gamebreaking issues with water as well. Such as some of the lakes and rivers not being deep enough, so you end up falling through the water into a hole you can't get back out of without killing yourself. Water should extend all the way though a lake, not half of it.
