Fallout 4 is my favorite game in a very very long time. I have been waiting 7 years for it and I'm satisfied with everything about it, except the lack of my favorite thing to kill people in video games with (ESPECIALLY ONES WHERE I CAN BUILD A STEALTH CHARACTER) BOWS. I have been spamming Pete Hines on twitter and he told me to come to the forums, so now I'm going to spam the forums. I know some disagree but it would perfect the game in my mind, I could go on longer, for hours writing even. I just hope Bethesda heeds my plea. Regardless, I love Fallout 4 just this one thing would make it so much better for me. The only reason I'm on the edge of my seat about this is: Bethesda probably won't release the means to animating things in first person when the modding tools come out. They didn't with skyrim, and we won't be able to mod them into the game at all, so Bethesda is the only hope. Please Bethesda, prove you listen to your fans, and make my biggest [censored]in dream of all time come true. If many begin to back me, I'll start a petition for this as well. I need Bethesda to see this. Thank you.

I would advise against that.

As for bows, I would rather prefer some crossbows (or something along those lines) in that weird style of weapons BGS came up with. Bows don't really feel ... fitting the universe.

Only a joke, and think about a bow made of junk parts and an electrical wire, and you can upgrade it into a modern bow with carbon fiber, and things like that sort. If it's implemented right, it could work.

You spammed Pete Hines and now you intend to spam the forums.

Well aren't you just a special kinda guy.

I dont see the appeal. bows have become such a mainstream thing in the media im kinda tired of them.

Consider the amount of comments Beth gets of Fallout feeling like Elder scrolls games with guns, I doubt they wanna throw fuel into those flames by adding bows, a weapon type that has been a staple of the Elder Scrolls series for years.

Hmm... I am thinking of Crysis 3. That could work.

Naaa...I'm good. Thanks though.

I actually would like a bow... yeah, the bow was my primary go to weapon in Skyrim, but it's not like they would not exists in sport shops.

I like long range silent weapons so a carbon fiber composite bow and titanium tip arrows would be nice since they actually do exist. Make an explosive arrowhead and .... BOOM!!!

I think a Van Helsing Gatling type crossbow could work.

Nah I will pass

Pass. Really tired of bows everywhere.

I'll take a wookie bowcaster as a plasma variant.


But srsly. No.

Unlike guns...

know your getting it!

I'm actually surprised it doesn't have them ^^

sooo many games started to have bows in the last 2 years... especially 2014

this year has been more of a crossbow year for games

For crossbow I think it is very easy to implement with mod, just replace texture of railgun or syringe

Railgun is easier as simple texture and model replace. Syringe will need to modify the damage of each syringe dart to make it more practical but on the bright side is that you can make special bolt.

I think when editor out there will be people making it, imagine we can have explosive bolt, high electrify bolt...etc

I wouldn't use a regular bow at all, aside from checking it out briefly just for the novelty. I might use a crossbow a little bit, but it wouldn't become one of my main weapons. I think it would be a cool addition to the game though. It would make sense. It's the type of weapon that could fairly easily be constructed in the wasteland. Crossbows can of course get incredibly complex, but basic crossbows are in principle much easier to build than guns.

I agree but it would have to be with a twist such as mentioned before a Van Helsing type or a bow that fired explosive arrows. something to fill in a niche

I vote yes. No suggestions or requests. Just yes.


Please.


I'm begging.

Unless there was something done to increase the power or the versitility of a simple bow, it's unlikely to be added in Fallout.

There's a reason the military stopped using bows IRL, you know. Same reason applies when the other ranged weaponry includes silenced .50 sniper rifles, plasma throwers, minature nuke launchers, and fully automatic laser scatterguns.

In other words, from a damage standpoint, bows would likely be on the same tier as pipe pistols.

FALLOUT 4 BOWS TO NO ONE.

Wait what?

Aaanyways, 50s version of Crysis 3's bow could be okay.

They could easily implement a futuristic bow that used the same technology as the railgun in order to propel the arrows with such force that it would be more effective than a regular bow. Only difference would be its more silent and sneaky.

I would love to see a traditional bow and arrow in the game, especially if it was good.

Ha..when I first read the title I have to admit I thought it was another hate thread, and the op meant to say fallout 4 Blows..

Yea I wouldn't mind a bow, I would try it out a few times...not sure it would be part of my usual load out tho...would depend on power and arrow types..

laser bows ftw
