New Weapons like Crossbows

Hi Guys,

 

there are so Many new swords and Armors around there but I´m just missing some Kind of them like the Crossbow.

I mean in the game it works like a Bow but nobody did one.

 

And somebody asked for throwing knifes and stars...did anybody knows, what happened with them?

Someone on the Steam Workshop made a throwing knife mod. I wish he'd brought it to the Nexus...

But if you browse the most popular pages you should be able to find it.

Was thinking more like those Centurion Crossbow things the Dwemer Centurions/Spheres carry. Could be a fast firing, low damage repeater or a slow firing high damage manual re-loader. Been looking for a DragonSkull Shield too but no luck.

I think crossbows would be awesome as long as they were balanced. If it was too powerful, no matter how slow the reload, it would be super broken in stealth kills. Maybe a 10-20% dmg increase over bows and a 50% longer reload speed so that it's either a good stealth weapon or a nice one off for a warrior about to engage in melee. You could also have different versions of crossbows.

 

I.E.

 

Light xbows have the aforementioned dmg to reload relationship while

 

Heavy xbows do 1.7x dmg but cannot gain a benefit from sneak attacks due to their unwieldiness. So warriors would run around with massive

ballista-esque xbows to pull critters with, while stealthers used the light ones.

Sounds fun, although this does make me wonder how to solve the animations...

There's probably a few options: New animations (i pitty the fool who will do this. But he does deserve tons of kudos if he pulls it off.). Or using the staff animations (just like the flintlock pistols that are floating around. but would look a bit odd imho.)

 

But i do how some cracks this issue :)
