15 Enjoyably Dumb Things Gamers Do We Can't Explain
13. NEEDING To See If Your Character Can Swim
Even though you've been able to swim in most games for decades now, a lot of players (older ones especially) will still be a bit cautious when they come across even the smallest bodies of water.
That trepidation isnt undeserved though, because many developers treat water in the same way as they do a steaming pile of lava - an instant-killing and highly dangerous environmental death-bringer that you have to somehow find a way around.
Of course, even if you have worries that it might kill you, you're still going to fling your character into it with reckless abandon, just to see whether your suspicions were correct or not.
