Ran into this last night
I knock out a thrall on an island to drag to my wheel of pain and I can’t drag them across water as swimming causes you to drop all items from your hands to swim.
While i get the idea about swimming with items in your hand the rope should at least be an item that can still be tied to your waist or something while swimming
This may be an intentional change. I just found another post where people said to make a bridge because dragging an unconscious person through water they would drown.
While a logical approach to the situation, I think we should still be able to drag someone through water since dragging someone at all over rocks, cliffs and other things is also a bit illogical.
Not only that, but there is a underwatertorch as well, which makes some people think its a bug.
Because when we can hold on to some underwater torch, we can hold to some rope as well…
