Not to the Elder Scrolls, but to this board/part. I only noticed a Skyrim board today :facepalm:

...So you'll be seeing a lot more of me around here because i can't wait for November! :foodndrink:

One question guys! Will there be a return of the simple weapon the Bow and Arrow set? A quick Google investigation provided me with nothing, please don't bash me if this has been asked 5003838388822727 times all ready or shown in 5667373 screenshots.

Yes sir, they have promised to return the bow and arrows, with a new system that makes you shoot them slower, but with much more damage.

Love the avatar.

Yes. Bows will actually be more powerful now (at the cost of arrows being a little harder to find). Welcome aboard.

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 4:37 am

Bows will take longer to fire, arrows will be more scarce, but damage from arrow hits will be much higher.

Adding to this, the reason they did this is to make bows feel more realistic in combat, so they're kinda like snipers, usually getting 1 or two shot kills. This also prevents the 'pin cushion effect' we had in Oblivion.

No it just seems friendly because the right ppl found your thread, there are alot of so called flamers/knowitalls/correcters/trolls/shorttempered/bais/attentionhogs lol

Any who theres also a perk for the bow that will zoom in and slow down time for better aim, kinda like red dead redemption had (if you've played this)

Welcome, http://images.uesp.net//c/c4/Fishystick.jpg,

Bows and arrows are in, but have been revamped to be more like bows and less like guns

@Kingko, it's a friendly forum inbetween big game releases, as the traffic dies down after the hype dies

It's mostly a friendly forum. . I often get quite .... intense... when I'm in a debate I'm passionate about... or if I'm being overly righteous.. but at the end of the day I'm a mostly friendly person, and it's all an act.

In other news, welcome aboard!!!

can I have my fishy stick now... coz... I never got one... :cry:

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 7:11 am

Why wouldn't bows be in the game? No offense intended but haven't you watched the trailers? I mean it's kind of hard to miss even for a person who is not a TES fan

How are correctors a bad thing? Lol...they are just there to help, and know it all's are fine with me as long as they are right

And BTW I think Oblivion had that zoom function too all you needed was the marksmen skill to be journeyman I think (BTW I don't remember a bow and arrow in RDR correct me if I am wrong)

That means that it may be possible to craft a crossbow mod.

yep, but oblivion didn't have the slowing down time part of the perk so you can take better aim, and thats what RDR has incommon with skyrim. (is this sarcasm your giving me MNiT?)

trust me correctors maybe be correct but that doesn't mean there any less rude or annoying 90% of the time

and well i have basicly the same comment for know it alls lol

Thank you

!! You've been one of many contributions to a day that has been, on the whole, very good.

Where did you see your sig?

» Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:40 am

you know, now that i think about it, i dont think i ever got a fishy stick when i joined these forums... but that was ages ago, so... my fishy stick probably wouldnt be very fresh at this point.

oh well, im used to being left out.

i like fried fish better... mmm, tilapia. :liplick:

fish sticks are still good, though.

people are definitely gonna have to be more careful with their arrows in this game, no more running into battle with hundreds of them, most likely.

i prefer using swords and conjuration, though.

Lol, I took it from a discussion on one of the meet the devs threads. I think #13.

I replaced the actual names of the posters, partially to give them unanimity, but also cause it gave some context and seemed funnier.

I would upload a few pictures for you but my computer is being stupidly slow right now. I can't link you any either because Google is not working. :flame:

Oh, ya, forgot I could just link a picture.

Here is a 'famous' picture of a Khajiit (ok, the Khajiit looks AMAZING!) in Skyrim, he's holding a bow: http://images.wikia.com/skyrim/images/5/5c/The-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-pc-1303119651-029.jpg

Here's a first person screen of somebody loading a bow: http://images.wikia.com/skyrim/images/7/71/1718307-wmplayer_2011_02_24_23_55_32_77_super.jpg

Nice, the Khajitt looks a bit like the tiger out of Black and White though
