help me with archery

You know the way arrows and bolts like to fly through creatures and people after they travel a certain distance. How do I make it so they don't pass through the target.

Also what do I need to do to make arrows and bolts travel through the air realistically.

Add to Skyrim.ini (the one in My Documents/My Games/Skyrim):

[Combat]
fMagnetismStrafeHeadingMult=0.0
fMagnetismLookingMult=0.0
f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
f1PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.7
f3PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.7

[Actor]

fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=12288.0000

The [Combat] settings make arrows and bolts fly more realistically. The [Actor] setting makes it so that arrows and bolts hit at a long, long distance - gives sniping a whole new feel!

(Thanks to http://zemalf.blogspot.com/2011/11/skyrim-archery-tweak.html for these settings.)

Something you could try for the increased arrow traveling is adding this line in your .ini file:

[Actor]

fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=10000.0000

If you happen to not like the arch that it starts from when you shoot the arrow, you can add these lines as well:

[Combat]

f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.0

f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.0
Though the arch is more realistic than you think. You can test that if you wish. It will probably be more like Oblivion with that setting if you are used to playing an archer in Oblivion. Cheers :D

[Edited]

Hmm, I'll give those other settings a try too. Thanks :smile:

If you plan to mod Sir, have a look at the following.

ABT - Arrows and Bolts Tweaks
Proper Aiming
Proper Length Arrows
Arrowsmith
Casual Bow Animation (stops your character running with their bow like a gorilla)

Also, for a more realistic strike

Realistic Ragdolls and Force

Pretty clean mods. No conflicts. Install one at a time.

And have fun Sir
