Bow and Arrow Glitch?

Post » Tue Aug 16, 2011 6:54 pm

So I was in the middle of completing Mehrunes Razor with my Argonian assassin, who exclusively kills with bows, when I noticed an odd, and very irritating, glitch with my bow. Every time I draw an arrow to it, the arrow partially fires, going about an inch off the bow in first person. Naturally, this isn't huge, but there is something else as well. About 70% of the time, the arrow will also make the firing noise and, when I do loose it, it will fire as if from the left of my character, meaning I have to offset this and aim slightly to the right of a target. Changing my bow and arrows doesn't seem to help, so is there another way to fix this glitch?

This seems to be one of those things that just happens from time to time with no rhyme or reason.

Try reloading the game, that should make it go away.

All my characters have used the bow exclusively (on PC). Never had this happen before. Reboot and reload and it should go away. If not, reload an earlier save.

I've had that happen to me before too..Its about as annoying as the jump out of water and float glitch. Just turn off your system and turn it back on and it should remedy this.
