Would you like to have crossbows and spears added to the next Elder Scrolls game? Discuss.

There are no ranged weapons in Skyrim only throw able tankards of ale.

Yes, and after the outcry from the fans after Crossbows were removed in Oblivion, I think it's safe to say that Crossbows will be in TES:V.

Sure why not you could just put it in the Bows catagory and have it powered by Agility and the Marksman Skill.

Absolutely.

If crossbows are in, I'll definitely be making a ranger type character. I'm not one for bows.

I would love to have crossbows back. And I agree with Ruiner87, with the outcry that came when crossbows weren't included I think there will be some.

I always preferred using them over bows when I had the option. I think that's mostly a stylistic choice though, rather than practicality or anything of the sort.

50/50 on the idea of crossbows I kind of want them but then I think of all the negatives

I support throw-able Tankards of Ale for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

They should bring back spears too.....

:cryvaultboy:

Good idea. I'll add that to the topic.

No.
Because they confuse me and I don't understand them. And I refuse to learn.

Indeed. :toughninja:

Besides, Valkyries use spears, right?

...and flails

What negatives could there be to adding more weapons/weapon types?

... and throwing weapons and javelins?

Yes, yes, yes a thousand times yes!

And a Dwemer Musket! Come on, that would be awesome!

I'd like the see the weapons skills resegregated. Or even segregated more than they were in Morrowind. Broadswords, Longswords, Shortswords, and Daggers should all be distinct. Maces, Warhammers, Battleaxes, War Axes, and Melee Staves should all be distinct. Bows and Crossbows should both be in and should be distinct. Heavy Armor, Medium Armor, Light Armor, Unarmored should all be in and should all be distinct. Unarmed should have weapons associated with it like in the Fallout series, so as to make it a serious playstyle choice instead of a gimmick. And yeah, thrown weapons would be nice too. Throwing spears, knives, axes, shuriken, and more.

Oh yeah and melee spears in addition to throwing spears.

Option to use cliff racers as a blunt weapon/spear would be pretty cool. I want my darts back, too.

I'd like them, but they aren't anywhere near as important to me as flails. We need some flails.

Sure.

My problem is Bethesda hasn't had flails since 1996, though. It's about time they got brought back.

The more variety the better, as long as it doesn't get out of hand and detracts from the rest of the game.

These polls are silly. They never include an "everything listed" option. Because you know, there totally people here who would stop at nothing to ensure that there's less big scary choices of equipment to choose from.

Basically, this.

I'll make it so that you can select more options.
