! Arrows ! (all you wanted to know)

Post » Tue Sep 20, 2011 4:03 am

they are used for bows. :P jk


anyway do we have any idea if Quivers and bow are sparate things or when you equip a bow it appears with it?

And do we know how Arrows Ammuntion work? do i need to buy ammo for bows? or is it limitless.

Btw: there is a leaked photo of a magic Glowing bow that looks amazing, But i notice something the arrows inside the quiver was also glowing, so what do you think?

cant remember how it worked in oblivion

Quiver appear when you equip arrows. You have to buy arrows but you can retrieve them once shot. Bows and arrows are separate items.

I imagine like Oblivion it'll be with the arrows

A bows ammunition are the arrows, you can buy them, I think make your own etc...

That leaked photo is believed to be a bound bow spell, looks like it is, could be wrong though.

In past Elder Scrolls game, each arrow type had a quiver that went with it. So when you equipped glass arrows, you'd be wearing a glass quiver.

You have to buy/find arrows. They are said to be rarer than in past games, but it's also easier to take down enemies using less arrows in Skyrim, so it balances out. Plus you can retrieve most of the arrows you shoot, if you know where they landed.

That bow is speculated to be a bound bow (a bow that is summoned for a short time using a spell). Maybe the arrows are bound too, I can't remember how that worked in Oblivion either.

Bows are more powerful in Skyrim, arrows won't be limitless. Rarer and more expensive :)

Bound Bow also makes Bound Arrows maybe.

yea like everyone has said arrows are much more rare that the other games so it may be harder to be a arch this time around

I don't recall any 3rd person shots from the demo when the bow was equipped but i don't recall actually seeing a quiver on the PC's back at any time. I wonder if it will come and go when the bow gets equipped or if it will play like oblivion where the quiver shows up when it's equipped no matter what weapon the PC is using.
