I was just thinking how all the bows in Oblivion were generaly the same length and that was pretty weird.i mean did every race use a short bow?i hope they include short and long bows in skyrim.i mean long bows could take more time to pull but more powerful and longer range and short bows could be quicker pull less power and less range(and lighter).

I've never thought about this, even though bows are my weapon of choice. :/

I think recurve bows would be awesome
they'd be the best of the best; fast and powerful

Thankfully they have supposedly included short and longbows this time.

that's how bows are in skyrim

longer, more powerful bows take longer to pull but have a lot more power.

Shortbows, Longbows, Recurve Bows, Composite Bows, Crossbows... throw them all in, please!

I always use bow and would love different varieties. Hell I would like it if you could use a bow for melee combat as well, not to do massive damage but to at least push someone back if they get too close.

I would like it if my Mathews 72 lb DXT Compund bow was included in the game :biggrin:

in the e3 demo when looking at the UI the bow is actually reffered to as "long bow"

Bowstaff

and the arrow damage for different types shouldnt be soo seperate damage like iron arrow does like 8 and deadric like 15.it should have different effects like faster flight time or fragments on impact(glass)
