FIRE ARROWS : V

» Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:14 pm

Fire arrows have always been used, so I don't understand why Skyrim wouldn't have them! If you can shoot fire out of your hands, why can't you shoot them from a bow!? I don't see it being that hard ...
It could be Alchemical ... you create this potion that's highly flammible, and you could apply it to your arrows then use a torch or camp fire to ignite the arrow ... or even a fire spell maybe?

What do you guys think? I feel like fire arrows are really cool and belong in skyrim

You can enchant your bows, so you can probably enchant one to do fire damage.

you can enchant a bow with in turn enchants all the arrows fired from it, might not be graphically shown but same idea

So many great things have been put into Skyrim that so many new threads are popping up complaining about little things :shrug:

But to the point, I don't think fire arrows would really be that cool.

Screw enchanting, I want to light my arrows without pesky magic.

Fire were used to light things on fire, not to directly kill people. So that's not the best reasoning on why they should be in the game. That being said, I think it would be cool if they had been added.

I'm not complaining, I just don't see why not!

I'm pretty sure they have shown some artwork of what seems to me are either Bandits or Storm Cloaks using fur armor and having a bow with an arrow that is lit.

Because apparently Fans are unreasonable and have unrealistic expectations :sadvaultboy:

That was in some concept art in which the focus of the art wasn't the bow and arrow. Artist probably just threw that in there for fun.

You dont say.... :wink_smile:

It would take 2 seconds to mod in.

There need to be some visual representation if an enchant. Either on the bow,
but preferably, on the arrows themselves. Fire, lightning, poison, whatever. Can't
have enchanted stuff and nothing shows on screen. It just looks like, any bow,
and arrow. That would be plain silly.

Who knows, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19396.

I mean, BGS did say they changed some aspects of the game based on certain mods (mainly bow damage)

So maybe when we enchant a weapon with, say, fire then it would show off 'fire' characteristics. And maybe, just maybe, it can happen to bows too.

But that's just me being overly optimistic.

In either case, a mod will eventually come that makes it much, much better; IF they don't add it. :thumbsup:

When was it ever said that fire arrows were not in that game?

OOps, completly forgot about the proof. Sorry for the delay, bud :facepalm: .

Well, if these things are not it. Visual representation of enchants, different types
of arrows etc. I am sure the modding community will come through for us and
make it happen. So I am not overly worried about it.

LIES! It would take two and a half! I wonder what the file size would be for it though.

If everybody enchanted arrows in Tamriel, soul gems would become scarce.

Man, that looks awesome! I really hope we can play with fire arrows in this game.

That kind of ruins the immersion though, I'm sure a lot of us want a non-magical way to light arrows on fire just as they did in the middle ages.

Agreed. I think they'd actually be pretty hot.

» Tue Sep 13, 2011 11:36 pm

I hope if that is in, it would require a special kind of arrow. You cant just set a normal arrow on fire

» Tue Sep 13, 2011 10:42 pm

I think and hope they are in the game. The visual effect is worth it, especially at night. Now that they added persistent fire on people and terrain, I think the fire arrows are in.
