LE crossbows expansion pack (request)

[FallenHeroX]

the idea is to expand the variety of crossbows in the game using the vanilla textures. so youd get crossbows for the other smithing materials too right now theres only dwarven and steel crossbows based on what ive read from the wiki list so the ones to add would be.

 

Wood. (this would go in leather or hide your choice)

Iron.

Elven.

Glass.

Ebony

Orcish.

Daedric.

Dragonbone.

 

naturally youll need dawnguard to play the expansion or itl just crash on you. whoever decides to do this do add this to the leveled list so some npcs can use them. and try to balance it out accordingly to its respective material meaning no oped ones. anyone whos played the dawnguard dlc will understand why ive requested this.

I second this request. I myself will probably try to make at lease a few of those once I view the crossbow mesh files in Nifskope to see how they're built, and I'll probably post the ones I might make as mods if I like them.

Maybe Wood should be the "Iron" Crossbow?

 

Actually, how would any materials other than Steel and Dwarven Metal work for a mechanism? I kinda understand Iron, cause it's kinda like a weaker Steel, but how would you make a Crossbow out of Refined Moonstone and Quicksilver or Orichalcum or Dragonbones? Just saying.

 

Of course, each Crossbow type will need to have a corresponding Bolt type and the three Elemental Exploding Bolt types.

Dragonbone might work as a reasonable flexible material, as long as you treat it correctly during the creation process.

 

Compared to bows, using the higher-tier metals for crossbows makes a bit more sense seeing as much of the mechanisms of actual crossbows are metal. Basically what improving the metal would do is improve the amount of tension you can put on the crossbow thereby improving launch speed.

wood is wood its a weaker material then iron. maybe they grind the materials and mix it into the steel and dwarven ingots idk im sure theres some method to it. enchanted bolts would be cool too.

thats cool for the wood one youll probabally want to make your own textures for it. the akaviri imports mod from oblivion was the inspiration for this mod idea in case your curios.

Crossbows Revamped

 

Is this what you had in mind? Not all the features you mentioned, but it's a good start, and i'm still expanding on it. :)

yeah a little like that just more variety based on the vanilla materials already in game and with different model designs based on its respective material

I think an Auriel Crossbow in the same style as the bow would be awesome.
