Just how hard will it be to find arrows?

Just maybe....

I think this would be a better idea, limit the amount of arrows you can carry instead of limiting the arrows 'in game'

And I think that 10-15 should be a max to be able to carry.

But............... I think todds words in an interview were more, 'they will be rare and hard to find' rather than 'we will limit the carrying capacity of arrows'

we will just have to wait for more info on this as I dont think they would limit the ranger/hunter characters to much with this in the end.

I hope fletching is in this game. Then I can make all the arrows I want.

Either that or I'll have to make my "Summoned Magika Arrows" spell mod again.

I'd hope crafting is in giving the dedicated archer a reasonable supply of arrows made from common materials but an extremely limited supply of better quality arrows. Limiting the number of arrows an archer can carry seems sensible too. I was just looking at some modern commercially made quivers and none of them held more than 24 arrows and that was target arrows, not broad-tipped.

i hope different body parts will take more damage than others and possibly cripple legs and things like that

oblivion was pretty strange with bandits that have 30 arrows stuck in there head running around acting no different then they normally are

I really doubt that it will be that hard to find arrows. With how powerful the arrow are, you will only need like one or two arrows per bandit.

I personally modded oblivion for myself so that arrows did far more damage but weighed 1 each, so I couldn't carry nearly as many, it felt way more realistic to me this way. after all, where on earth would you carry 200 arrows?

It meant they weren't any rarer, there were plenty to pick up, I just couldn't take them all

I really wasnt much of an archer in Oblivion, but im thinking that I may give it a try in Skyrim, seeing as how they improved the whole archery system. Hopefully arrows will be relatively easy to come by.
