What the heck is going on with archery?

It does exist, it's just not as noticeable as Oblivion because Oblivion had like, three times the amount of gravity for some reason.

 

edit: Also - for arrows not being able to collect every arrow out of a corpse, just think of it as "The arrow broke"

What's kinda bothering me is that i can drop 5 or 6 arrows in a target ..kill it and go to collect my arrows and only get 1 back (sometimes none at all).allthough, most long distance sneak attacks allways give the arrows back..(well 90% i guess).....makes me mad when i can see 3 or 4 arrows sticking out of a corpse and nothing to pick up when i search the body....maybe someone could look into it...would be really nice to have it fixed.

 

OH yeah! I forgot about that one! I let go of 14 arrows into a dragon and only got two back..what's with that? I am constantly buying or collecting all the steel arrows I can get my hands on. So I'm with ya on this one. :verymad:

 

Assume that the missing arrows are broken beyond repair and therefore not recoverable.

There's a perk for that.

There's some sort of auto targeting? :blink: I didn't know that. It seems to me all my shots are manual--but I guess I could be mistaken. I've made some pretty long distance shots using trajectory, so the arrows seem to me to have weight and velocity. I usually use sneak and archery to clear out the bad guys--well, it worked pretty well until I got hooked up with Barbas the Daedric Dog, who doesn't have a wait command. Unfortunately, sneaking with him around doesn't work. :rolleyes:

there is no Auto targeting people keep saying there is and thats crap also arrows obviously have gravity when i use them it feels like im firing a mortar... More than 50 feet away and you have to do crazy leads and ajustments, this game almost requires mill dots lol.

well, my archery skill level is at around 72,(i think) ....i allready have the 50% arrow retrieve perk...it has helped abit but ..stilll..... should be able to collecet more than 1 out of 10 arrows landed.....and yes ...maybe some of them get broken when hitting the target...but still.....

I'v enoticed that some shots actually have upwards trajectory before drop-off. But if you're talkign about long distance shots you always aim about one head-and a half higher.

 

However, you may be trying to hit you target at a distance where the arrows looses force and it doesnt register a hit even if you're on target.

If you've ever shot a compound bow before, it has a bit of lift before drop.

In my honest opinion, archery is pretty tough. Wait till your doing Dark Brotherhood assassinations trying to avoid being seen in broad daylight at a long range while sneaking. Its tough to make that 1 shot count, when you have to account for arrow drop/target movement.

 

But the one thing that bugs me, is the fact that I can lay 3 arrows into someones face(well not anymore as I'm pushing out 200pts of damage with each arrow so its almost always a 1 shot kill with "weaker" targets) and them keep coming at me. If I had 3 arrows through my face, I don't think I would be moving.
