Invisible 'sharks'

[Liranthine]

After now 3 years or something I still have this question stuck in my head,

 

in the very beginning of the game I realised fast that this game is boring as hell, so as I arrived on the first island I decided - instead of following the mainstory - to jump into the ocean and tried to swim to other islands but after some time I just died in the middle of the ocean (even though there was nothing what could've kill me).

 

I haven't seen anything, I just died (I tried it around 5-7 times, always died for 'no reason').

 

I'm assuming that I got killed by a shark (or some seamonster), I think the reason why I couldn't see anything was because of a glitch.

 

I tried thinks like restarting the system and stuff, but nothing helped.

 

So I want to ask, did that happened to anyone out there as well? Did you found out how to fix it (the 'glitch'(if it's a glitch))?

It's meant to be like that, there is no shark or whatever, the game just kills you for wandering too far in the water without the ship (that is the DLC).

You can get a boat in the game without the dlc.

You can get a boat in the game without the dlc.

 

Although who would need a boat when you can just walk on water with spells/potions?
