Yaaaa, all those modern tech bows really fit into TES lore and tech level! :thumbsup:

 

These are good ideas for dwemer bows. They probably had the technology.

 

Sorry, but 1E Dwemer did not have that type of tech in crossbows, otherwise you would have seen it in the giant crossbows they used throughout their cities as seen here.

Yes, they are technically a ballista, but thats just another name for a giant crossbow. Nowhere do you see compound mechanisms, everything appears to be based around steam, natural gas, and magicka as power sources.

Most bows in the game don't even look useable.

 

 

Ok!! SO!!

 

Light crossbow - Crossbow that Can be used in only the right hand and works with Magic? Easy to carry, easy to load, easy to aim (aim not slowing the player down) Limited in styles, but you can make your own unique ones (Basic, Imperial, Nordic , Dwemer) (then perhaps you could make things like Moonstone nordic or Ebony basic)

 

Heavy crossbow - Absolute destroyer. Slows the player down a lot. Cant move whilst reloading

(

 

Dartguns (As seen on dwemer spheres)

 

Short bow ( Less range and power, Can move around much better with it)

Long bow ( Lots of range and power , Drawing slows the player A lot)

Anything can be written into TES lore, you just need a radical variable that makes the tech possible. Yeah, modern crossbows appear impossible, but perhaps there can be a halfway point with a "Da Vinci" type character -- a genius inventor -- who grasps the concepts of the Dwemer far better than any other in Tamriel. Sounds plausible.

Don't get me wrong, I think having crossbows in the game would be cool, as long as it sticks with the lore of the TES universe. Dwemer tech could indeed include steam or magicka powered crosbows (or even soulstone powered projectile weapons, aka: soulstone guns), and would fit right in if designed along the same Dwemer style. I could definitely see a soulstone/steam powered crossbow that has a small tank and tubes that power a reloading device. But the modern compound pulley bows? Nope, not at all.
