Why can't any of these developers make the ocean look proper? Grey, green?

Oh I know... Degenerate fucking mainlanders.
What, you weren´t born, but were instead fished out of the sea?

On a more serious note - our water is still a work in progress. In general we choose our colors not for their realism, but for more coherent visuals (read: Art!)
EDIT: also we´re developing this game in a coastal town. Mainland, true, but with our own share of floods and foghorns piping in the night.

This is how ocean should look like, angry, murderous, terrifying... And blue.

Your ocean looks stygian, and the furies lived in the underground and tortured the damned, fitting!

PoE 2 ocean looks terrible, it reminds me of the river in Boston during St. Patrick's day:

:what: You put food colouring in it or smth? Where's that natural grey colour? Water doesn't look like that.
Okay, kids. You know why that water is blue? It is because the sky reflected off its surface is blue. You know why the Finnish Bay is grey? That is because weather in this part of the world during this season is mostly shit (and gray). Water has a different color also because of certain flora and fauna - which is very different depending on the part of the world where you happen to look at said water.

If you hire Avellone you can use him as oceanic color palette consultant, the man was born on the atlantic coast but lives on the pacific coast I think, he's seen all the colors.

Also the Gulf of Finland is really shallow and everybody around it keeps shitting into it. That makes for a vibrant microflora. Meaning, the water is brown, green, or grey, and murky, most of the year, and gets a nice scum of cyanobacteria towards late summer, which gives it pretty accents of bright green. It only becomes bottle-green and somewhat clear towards late autumn, just before it freezes over, and that only if it's been calm enough for the silt to settle.

It's an improvement though, when I was a kid it also produced brownish suds.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
Meanwhile, while some codexers were touching their dicks together, we managed to float our boat in a wholly different way. (SFX: bada-bam-tsshh!)
