Hey guys, its that pirate guy, and i want to know, is it too late for me to get into archery? Im Level 17, with 35 lockpicking, 34 speech,49 one handed, 54 smithing, and 51 enchanting, so is it too late for archery?
Pirate guy? What's that about?
Anyway, Lockpicking, Speech and 1H have nothing to do with it. I assume you have leveled either Light Armor, Heavy Armor or both but they don't matter either. However, Enchanting and Smithing do matter. They will help in the damage output.
Being only level 17 is a help in itself as you'll still a long way to go. You won't be one shotting most things yet, but enemies don't really have a defense against extreme ranges. You can easily climb up and perch on a ledge overlooking a camp and take pop shots all day.
Melee enemies are easily taken out by using your environment, like a rock or even a table. Then it's really more comparable to shooting fish in a bucket.
