nofear88 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Eh? Crossbows are one of the best weapons you can get and already ingame in the guise of Dwemer Crossbows unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlaka Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 dont mean to sound rude but what would be the point of that?There are already bows in the game and you can choose to equip them or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mittgang Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I dont like how they look at all. dont want to see it on any NPC. I only hope they will not add shotguns and rockets and robo-chickens etc >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragten Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Do you actually think that crossbows are some kind of hi-tech modern weapons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senterpat Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 This really bothers me. You have no problem with the sliding rock walls, or the fact the people are using magic, but crossbows are too advanced? (by the way, there ARE robots, they are called dwemer constructs) This is a ridiculous request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidD Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 You could just open up the creation kit (when the DLC is out, that is) and go to "use info" and replace every single instance with a bow of your choice. Not very hard to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cipherthe3vil Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 This really bothers me. You have no problem with the sliding rock walls, or the fact the people are using magic, but crossbows are too advanced? (by the way, there ARE robots, they are called dwemer constructs) This is a silly request. Fix'd. Its silly, but not totally ridiculous. Cross Bows have been around for a very long time. They are not a new development at all, Crossbows were one of the next few weapons developed after the Bow itself was made. So in a world filled with steampunk/magitech Dwemer constructs and sliding rock walls with working levers, pulleys, and switches, and lets not forget magic in general, might I ask how a mere crossbow ruins it for you?

Moraelin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 And since we're talking a late Roman Empire kinda setting, you should see the kind of crossbow-like thing the Romans had come up with. It was basically a miniature torsion ballista, not a bow on a stock. Also the arms were towards the inside, so the angle of the string segments was actually very accute, and most of the force went into moving the bolt forwards. AND here comes the kicker, apparently they figured out how to shoot lead balls with it, at speeds comparable with what early guns would do some 1500 years later. They had quite ingenious people, and once they had the formulas and tables compiled for scaling torsion catapults, calculating a scaled down one was a quite trivial affair.

wzpoarch12 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Actually, that reminds me that a sweet Deadric Magicka Powered burst repeating crossbow would be awesome. Just saying, we all need an edge against the modified hordes Skyrim! It could be the "To Crossbow or not to Crossbow. That is the Question!" MOD. :thumbsup: Edited July 20, 2012 by wzpoarch12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
