Manual Aiming for Crossbows

[SpockBot]

So I was wondering if there is already... Or if it would be possible to make some mod - to give crossbows (Manual Aiming). - Similar to what we have with regular bows.

I also don't understand why you can't aim them.

 

It's not possible right now, but I am against gameplay altering mods in Dark Souls, anyway.

I like that as of right now the mods can only be purely cosmetic.

It's probably a balance thing. Crossbows are generally the "fast one-handed" bows. They're more meant for knights (etc) who need a quick ranged attack rather than for sniping.

 

On topic, I don't think that's possible. Not right now, at least.

Personally, and I don't mean to criticize your idea, I agree with Kaffeebohnson. There are a myriad of reasons why, but the biggest one is that I prefer it when people can't easily make invulnerability hacks and things like that.

I also don't want to break the game in anyway. - But for me its less of a concern as I'm not really into PvP.

- So after buying the game twice and passing it about five times or so.

I was just interested in making the single player experience a bit different or better.

 

- On topic: Instead of some 1st person view - would it work to just have some crosshairs on screen when you're blind firing (i.e. without using the lock on target ability).

 

The main reason I want this to work is - The Sniper Crossbow - it has the greatest range of any bow in the game.

Plus I just think it looks cool and I'd like to use it more often.

 

But all that extra range is wasted seeing as you can't even aim the damn thing.

- Just doesn't make sense, why make a "Sniper" Crossbow if you can't even - you know "Sniper" with it.
