The answer is no. Swimming is not a feature in Dragon's Dogma 2, just like it was absent in the first game. The lore of the game explains the dangers of entering deep waters infested by the Brine, which pulls creatures under, leading to instant death for NPCs and enemies.
While the absence of swimming may come as a disappointment to some players, it actually serves as a strategic advantage. It means that areas that appear to be inaccessible due to water can often be reached through alternate means, such as finding a cave entrance behind a waterfall, taking advantage of destructible environmental elements, or looking for a coastal pathway to navigate around.
For those moments when a fall seems inevitable, players can rely on their class abilities to mitigate damage. Certain vocations offer skills like Levitate to cross chasms, while strategic pawn placement can also play a crucial role in overcoming obstacles.
So, while the inability to swim may initially seem like a limitation, it actually opens up new possibilities for exploration and discovery in the world of Dragon's Dogma 2. Remember, the journey is not just about reaching your destination, but also about the adventures and challenges you encounter along the way.
