Congrats for influencing the Skyrim development :tops: ! And happy birthday :celebrate:
As far as advising Beth, i know you have some very interesting source material, so I think you should PM the Beth community manager on these forums telling him that you're "the guy who made the mod", and give him a few links where they can read about recreations of medieval combat, and maybe buy a book or two on that. And I guess you could offer to answer some of their questions by email... using your modding time for that instead seems worth it if you're basically "remotely modding" Skyrim

.
I've been enjoying the mod quite a bit. It seems you managed to make it rather low-conflict in recent iterations, because it fits well in my humongous load order.
A simple request: would it be possible to have an option to remove the "Don't use your bow" booting message I get every time I load a game, as well as the {} that gets added in the bows' names? I'm aiming for immersion, i.e. I don't want to be constantly reminded that I modded the game.
I guess you have your own reasons for including those, that probably include confused players and dumb support requests. However in my case I turn off all stats modifications to arrows and bows (Edit: I also turn off the arrow limit) since I have other mods to take care of that: therefore the {} doesn't serve a purpose I think. Also, I can't remember a time where I fired an arrow right upon loading a game, and even then I wouldn't really care that the first shot is not done according to your system, as long as it kicks in soon afterwards.
Lastly I understand the options in your ini file, but what's slightly confusing is that you keep inverting the logic of each option like this:
set doActivateOptionOne = 1
set dontActivateOptionTwo = 1
The convention in most ini files is that all options are expressed in a positive way (i.e. "do"), which allows seeing at a glance which features are on or off.
