I thought that was fixed?

Lol! That made me giggle a bit. I am fortunate enough for that glitch to have never happened to me~ He's always used the bows I have given him.

i thought it was fixed too...

I feel your pain man. Faendal needs to keep up with the advancing bow technologies. That danky Hunting Bow, isn't going to cut it, Faendal. How many times do I have to tell you already?!

seriously, it's as if he has no respect for how tough it can be to kill a dragon and fashion a weapon from it's carcass. ingrate...

...... dike...... Though we still love you Faendal.

I really wish that Bethesda would fix the bow and arrows things for followers. Super irritating.

I believe giving them one dragonbone arrow, and then them having infinite as a result is good enough damage output for me.

Id much rather have to deal with keeping their arrows stocked, as long as theyd use the best ones along with the best bow. Mainly for immersion reasons. I can kill things fast enough as it is.

I can sympathies, luckily for me this glitch has never hapend on my skyrim game.

Lucky bastard.

This issue was actually addressed in an official patch?

I could get him to equip an Elven Bow but that is pretty much it. I guess that lowly non-mer Daeric bow wasn't good enough for the might of some crappy Elven Bow

yea, 1.9 "fixed" it.

LOL

racially appropriate bow or not, the bottom line is i helped him get the girl...and this is how he repays me?

Don't you see?
He purposefully irritate you so he can go back to Riverwood and has his ways with the girl you helped him to get!
Clever Mer

not as clever as he might think, the only way he's going back to Riverwood is in a pine box (none shall see my face and live to tell the tale).

at which point i will expose his deception and use my speech perks to bed his ex in her emotionally weakened state...

Even with 100 speech and all perks they still don't put out unless married.

i should clarify, by "emotionally weakened state" i meant dead...none shall see my face...

What's the medieval penalty for practicing necrophilia?

Ask Falanu Hlaalu. It's been a couple of hundred years, she must know by now.

interesting question, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrophilia

He doesnt equip it right away for me either, but give it a second, let him get into battle, he should switch...at least....he did for me now....
