Do you want crossbows? : V

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:50 pm

I am trying to get as many "LIKES" as possible so maybe someone from Bethesda will see this post and consider adding crossbows in Skyrim do to popular demand. If they haven't already(no way to know, or is there?) If you do not "LIKE" this, please do not post negative comments. Thank you.
I also understand that it may be a little late in development for this if they haven't made crossbows already, but please "LIKE" if you think it would be good DLC/ expansion.

No thanks, we don't need it. And its confirmed that it will not be in, and its too late too add it now, Pete said that they aren't adding anything.

hard to say i would like the choice within the marksman skill, but crossbow technology is very different to bows, and i don't know that it would be right in TES

Yes, and I don't care about medieval crossbow limitations. It won't happen though.

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 3:08 am

Nope I don't. Bows>Crossbows.

I voted for: No, it would ruin the game.

Also it's been confirmed crossbows are not in the game.

Long bows are better anyway , quicker to load and more effective in a battle . Crossbows = Slow things by the time you load you will have been cut in half by an angry orc

Uh, yeah, I think that the OP already knows that it's not in the game, which is why he made the thread.

Nope, and I love archery. Crossbows were done poorly in previous TES games and to do them properly would make a very poor weapon choice anyway. Have you actually fired a crossbow, or watched someone? Youtube it. It takes almost a full minute to reload, whilst holding it with your body. Yeah...no.

gamesas won't add crossbows and they've heard more than they want to from people up in arms (not saying you are) about no crossbows. I, personally would like to play with crossbows because I love having great arms/armour variety. I'm considering getting Skyrim for PC to mod in the weapons and armor I care about...and you should too

It would've been nice, but we're not getting them and we've had a thousand of these threads now, so can't people just get over it and stop talking about it? It has been a long time since anyone has said something original in the crossbow threads, it's just the same arguments repeated over and over.

What's the point?

Don't want them. Not even in a DLC or a mod.
They're boring and too medieval. Bow is much more fun.

I'd rather see throwing weapons before crossbows.

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 11:06 am

Bethesda is well-aware that we want crossbows. It's up to them to add it to the game. But in real life, crossbows are really slow weapons. You could kill several bandits with a normal bow by the time you load 1 bolt.

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 2:51 am

Yes, for my stealth characters.

Not right for TES? They were in Morrowind. lol

I voted it doesn't matter to me. I'm quite happy with bows. If crossbows were in I would probably just sell them.

They're excellent if you're out of arms reach. More accurate and more powerful than longbows. Great, devastating weapon for low-skilled people. might be a good choice for low-level characters

I don't like crossbows, but honestly, I don't care if they're put in or not. It's not going to make me buy DLC if it has them.

I personally want crossbows, I think they could be overhauled from a Fable version (not comparing Bethesda to Fable Devs.) But, I have pre-ordered Skyrim for the PS3.

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:53 pm

Nope.

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 10:07 pm

don't want any more crossbow threads that's for sure.....

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:31 am

At least they are more "balanced" (They take your Skills in consideration) than crossbows. (It's almost like a Firearm, you just need to aim well)

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 10:49 pm

It's good that they're not in. I don't think they'd fit at all, thematically.

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 8:59 pm

Medieval crossbows averaged two shots per minute, not one per minute.

I'm a little confused... you're trying to get as many people as possible to give more "likes", but you don't want any no or negative comments. What if the "no people" outnumber the "yes people" by 20 to 1. Hardly a sound argument for "popular demand".

That being said, I actually like crossbows. I prefer longbows, but I'd be hard pressed to say why. I just do. I don't think it would "ruin the game" if crossbows were in, but I guess it's all a moot point now anyway. I'm sure there'll be mods soon enough.
