duel wielding bows : V - Skyrim

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:53 pm

I must first say that you used the Door-in-face technique quite well in the thread title, well done. Compared to duhttp://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/dual.htmll wielding bows, shooting multiple arrows seems more than acceptable. Giving archers some kind of multishot ability/perk would be very cool. While it isn't realistic (or even possible?) it has been a staple of many fantasy games and it would add some depth that is sorely missing from the marksman skill.

I thought the "shoot two arrows at once" idea was pretty dumb, then I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE7A_4M7OqQ. It doesn't look half bad.

Thanks for the link it's satisfying knowing that it's possible

I wouldn't mind it as a perk. If you don't like it, pick another. As far as realism, is it probable? No. Is it possible? Carcharoth's video says it is.

If the load time was six and a half minutes, yeah.

Put it in the perk thread with the rest of the nuts ideas

Personally I go no on this one...

I haven't shot a bow in a while but I can not think up a reasonable means of shooting two arrows with one bow. Much less a practical purpose.

More wounds to bleed out of.

Like Legolas? That'd be cool

STAB THEM IN THE EYE WITH AN ARROW THEN SHOOT IT!

I am disappoint. I almost didn't enter this thread because of the unbelievabley stupid situation your thread title suggests but ended up entering your thread because of the unbelievabley stupid situation your thread title suggests. That and the unchecked rage it would bring. I am...disappoint.

I want to dual wield bows =D
-Throw bow A in the air while shooting bow B,than catch bow A and throw bow B.
-After you've become an expert at Marksman,it'd be possible to let the body go and pull the string and shoot in a split-second,thus going totally dual wield.
-In the ninth era,there will be stringless magnetfield bows so being a novice is fine.

Well,enough fun of the title,I still would like to shoot more than one arrow.=D
