throwing darts

throwing darts?

they pretty much defined morrowind for me. I vote yes. I will not buy skyrim unless I can throwing darts.

Well throwing darts would actually be pretty useless in a real situation, unless you were very precise and know where to throw them. There would have to be pretty precise locational damage to accommodate the finesse that throwing darts require in a realistic way, but that doesnt mean they necessarily shouldn't be in the game.

they always seemed kind of lame to me in MW though...

I voted 'don't know' but it's more like, I don't really care, personally. I never used throwing darts in Morrowind, and honestly, I didn't even know the game had them (of course, I haven't played it much, and it's been a couple years since I did....). Even if Skyrim had throwing darts, I would most likely stick with my usual sword or warhammer, like always. :shrug:

He was drawing attention to a grammatical mistake. OP's post should've been, "I won't buy Skyrim unless I can throw darts." Not, "I won't buy Skyrim unless I can throwing darts."

I don't know what you thought was going on...

I'd like to see a return of darts, throwing knives and maybe throwing stars.

can any one argue that having only ONE type of range weapon wasn't completely screwed up, nope. I voted yes.

Now, throwing daggers or knifes I would like to see. For darts, I don't really care that much, honestly :| Or axes for that matter...

Yes, I would like very much to be a throwing dart.

How would this work against someone wearing heavy Armour? Surely they would just ping off? :ph34r:

Throwing weapons would provide a one-handed ranged weapon outside of spells. I don't plan to use them, but they would add more variety to the dual-wielding system.
And in Skyrim, there should be throwing AXES.

You know that ain't true man ;) Todd has all but confirmed bows are all we're getting, sadly. He talked about streamlining weapons like it was god send- about looking at what was popular in morrowind and then cutting range weapons down to just bows.

I remember using them in Morrowind,but mostly the enchanted ones with paralyze effects and the likes,because like others pointed out here,they werent that much effective.
As long as they make archery effective like they've been saying and let us enchant the arrows this time around(or poison more at a time....) i guess we wont have any more throwable weapons ingame.

I like content, but they don't sound like fun, but I want more content.

In previous games they were just stupid, too low of damage and too uncommon.
As someone said before, getting hit with a throwing knife is pretty much the equivelent of being stabbed, which is pretty lethal. (knives too are under appreciated)
Darts wouldn't cause as much damage, but perhaps its an excellent method to deliver posions.

If throwing weapons are back, there better be a chance to miss with them. It takes a lot of skill to hit someone with most throwing weapons, and even then it might not hit the lethal end.
A chance to miss with melee weapons might make people unhappy, but 100% chance to hit with a throwing weapon is even more ridiculous.
