Well I'm having a few problems with my character. Sometimes I don't know when or why it happens but my weapon's damage somehow decreases. What I mean is that when I have my weapon equipped (Plain Glass Bow at the moment) it sometimes drops damage. When this happens I look into my inventory and see that the weapon equipped has (+39) in green next to damage rating. If I re-equip the bow it goes back to the original gray coloured damage and the weapon actually does more damage.

I know this because I shot a bandit and it only did about 1/4 - 1/3 damage. I was confused opened my inventory saw the green +39 re-equipped the weapon and shot him again resulting in his death without the sneak attack. It was crazy how weak I was with this glitch. It also keeps recurring, but I don't know when until I check my inventory constantly or if it does low damage. It's just a minor annoyance but also makes me weak. The thing is even lower leveled bows/weapons actually display a higher rating as well. It's really weird but I have no idea what's causing it.

My second problem is about stealth kills. I find that when I'm completely hidden I can be any range and hit the enemy for a stealth attack. But, if I'm still not completely detected and I hit the enemy when I am relatively close it isn't a stealth kill and I'm still undetected. But if I shoot from a far distance and hit the enemy and I can take another well placed shot and get another sneak attack. I find if I stay far enough I can continue to sneak attack them before they get very close causing death to be much faster. I don't actually think this is a glitch but more for realism. If I'm at a far distance I am much harder to detect meaning that I am more likely to do a sneak attack. But if I am slightly spotted or being searched at close range and attack it's not a sneak attack. I think this could be because Bows are meant to be long range weapons and they didn't want to overpower close range stealth kills constantly or it's just a glitch. I don't know if it is or not though. I don't think it's a problem. If I go close I usually shoot and run/roll further back and take another shot to get the stealth hit. But I can't take a close range shot after the first hit for a stealth bonus.

Thanks

I can get emails for every reply to a topic but that's quite annoying. Is there anyway I can get emails for only replies to my own posts?

Edit: I disabled [Notification method to use for topic replies and reply digests]. But I enabled [Notify me when someone quotes my posts]. Now I should only get emails to direct replies. That way it should be much easier. I still don't know what [Notification method to use for new topics and topic digests] does but I guess I'll find out.

I have this problem too. Both of them.

I get that weapon damage problem on my archer too. I don't know why.
