Start new character and Bows are same as my old char?

Post » Thu Jan 09, 2014 4:14 am

So I had a skyrim character that focused on Archery so I had a lot of good skills spended on and such, but i decided to create new character as a wood elf and I noticed in helgen when you get a bow of some imperial bodies, they are still OP as if it was the same as my last character? For example with the wooden bow and iron arrows I was able to I hit every spider and the bear you see in the cave and also because I had sneak = x2 damage even though this is a new character, the bow even drawed the arrow extremely fast but I dont have those skills unlocked? I thought maybe this could be because the Wood elves are good with bows, so I restarted the game as a imperial for test and the imperial character also had sneak = x2 damage and fast drawing even though in the skills menu, those perks are not unlocked. I started it cause my character was too strong and things where getting boring 1 shoting everything but it still is and idk why. Is this normal?

Thanks.

Welcome. :smile: Obligatory http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130514235332/elderscrolls/images/4/4b/Fishy_stick.png for you.
Bows always have x2 sneak damage, the perk increases it to x3. Are you sure you're drawing the bow unnaturally fast? Longbows are very light and fast, if the last bow you used was high tier like Ebony and up, then with Quick Shot it's actually comparable in speed to a longbow without the perk (if not slower, Daedric is just dreadfully slow).

As Rosveen say, bows have always a damage from 2x in sneak mode at the beginning.

You could play at a higher difficult level...if you just started your game. And then you can adjust your difficult level from your skyrim menu accordingly.
