What more do you want? I mean, if NPCs on both the Trooper's and Smuggler's class-quests explicitly referring to the existence of something, which then turns out NOT to exist, doesn't suggest that that something was at some point or other intended to be included in the game, then I don't know what will.

I couldn't have anything to do with the fact that "swimming" sounds better than "wading" right? Also, swimming != diving. Also, hydrospeeder (wherever is it said, I do not recall that conversation) seems to be just a version of speeder that flies above water. And it is something that does not have a single mention on Wookiepedia, so I have my doubts about its existence

I get that, but in the expanded universe like The Old Republic and stuff they like to fill in some of those holes and take themselves really seriously. There are pages for 'Everything you wanted to know about force lightning and more!' and even an explanation as to why some Troopers and Mandos wear belt skirts... but the real answer is because it's cool and stylish. So I feel like even though it's all space magic, it's somewhat grounded with an... 'acceptable' explanation.

Here's the video link for a refresher: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukG_JW8kAjs (starts at around 15:30) "you'll have to make an amphibious approach"

Amphibious does not mean diving or swimming, it simply means attack from water (like Normandy landing during WW2, that was amphibious assault, land forces launched from ships) Seaspeeder mentioned in there probably means just what I said before, speeder that hover above water (so probably a normal speeder with better repulsors that provide higher lift)

I swear when I read the title of this thread, I thought it said "Why the lack of underwear content".

I could almost swear you're still not entirely convinced Ord Mantell was originally designed to have water-related systems. It's almost as if... Nah.

Kotor didn't have underwater combat. You has to wear a bulky, slow suit and use that special sonic device to kill the firaxan sharks before they could eat you, but there were no sabers or blasters. It's a cool concept, but one that for this game would require too many resources that could be allocated elsewhere for more important projects.
