Crafting arrows...? : V

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 3:25 pm

Does this seem strange, or is it just me? Also, I heard (from an unreliable source) that there is something in the games code that hints at craftable arrows. I wouldn't expect something like that in an update, but maybe DLC? What do you guys think?

My guess is they wanted to make arrows scarce, so they took out arrow crafting.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Arrows are so plentiful, it's almost a crime.

If that was the real reason, then they might as well put in arrow crafting.

I also think this is strange. I would definitely like to be able to craft my own arrows.
It's to one thing that I spend my gold on.

Its their first attempt with crafting, I am sure they figured that "nobody would want to spend hours crafting arrows" sort of argument.

Guess they underestimated our interests.

Add me to the list of the disappointed. Like Nubius said, seeing as how arrows are hardly scarce, I'd really like to see arrow crafting in. It would give us another use for firewood.

I just find it disappointing that there's all these ingots in the game and once you have already crafted your favorite armor and weapons, there's nothing else to do with them but sell them. If you could make arrows, you would always have a use for ingots because you don't get all your arrows back after shooting them.

Yeah. My Daedric armor looks really badass when I'm also rocking some Steel arrows.

Crafting arrows would be nice for the sole purpose of making Daedric arrows. I’ve only found a set of 10 once while dungeon diving. If I have the bow, I might as well have the matching arrows to go with it.

There's already a mod for this at Skyrim Nexus

Worse - you cant craft bows either.

I think it's so you can't make loads of good arrows. I think when they said arrows were scarce they meant good ones. Iron and steel are everywhere though.

This game follows the path of logic haphazardly. Some things make sense and other things absolutely do not. This is one of those things that does not.

There is already a mod out for the PC version that lets you craft Arrows (:

I recommend you check carefully the items that you can make at the anvil.

Really would of been nice to instead of hunting down ebony arrows in every dungeon in the game just to get some ore and make that stuff, only thing I am really mad about is how you cant make anything with dragonbones/scales but armor why dont we get swords or the other stuff every other set gets. :sadvaultboy:

Lucky you. I'm a level 44 and I haven't found a single daedric arrow. I've been using ebony throughout my adventures. Ebony is awesome, especially when using

ebony mail

to match. It's a real shame that we can't craft the damned things.

Waste that precious ebony on Arrows!!!

You heathens!

DLC for craftable arrows?

i'd sooner bow down to the thalmor...

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 12:43 pm

yes i was disappointed that i couldnt make arrows, esp if you were playing a bosmer or any serious ranger/hunter class out there. also should be able to melt down weapons and armors to reuse the materials.

the game still got alot of improvements needed to be done.
