gmillar Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yaaaa, all those modern tech bows really fit into TES lore and tech level! :thumbsup: I agree, they're on a similar level of complexity to other Dwemer tech. Yes I know you were being sarcastic, but you were accidentally right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anb2004 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) bows in skyrim pretty cool imo guess i'm the one who not really big fan of fantasy looking bow except hunting/long/iron bow, so i try working for new bow which i created it base on these consept (the left one), modern looks but still quite fit in with skyrim, plan to replace ebony bow with it. but still no luck to bring these bow with working bow animation yet :blush: Edited January 21, 2012 by ebony_ivory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.http://i43.tinypic.com/2j5j1xd.jpg 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. Sorry, but modern tech crossbows don't fit TES Dwemer lore and tech level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack254 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksun45230 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Sorry, but modern tech crossbows don't fit TES Dwemer lore and tech level. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
