Archery?

  • Posted by Orc_King October 29, 2011 - 947 views

    Anyone else more excited about archery this time around [after seeing how they revamped it in the gameplay footage]? I know I am. I mean I used it here and there when I had to [when I wasn't using magic lol]; but now I feel the need to use it more often. I love the new overall setup of archery now. Makes you actually hold your breath while playing when you prep to fire an arrow lol.

    It seems like I'm one of the minority who used mainly archery in Oblivion lol. I plan on going through my first play-through of skyrim the same way I did Oblivion and Fallout 3 and F:NV. A stealthy character who specializes in long-range combat. In the fa...  more

    I'm definitely excited for it. I plan on using pure archery with a bit of illusion magic thrown in.

    Thanks Morgan!  Another site that I didn't know about - more to check out while I attempt to patiently wait for the game to release!

    I missed having to hold your breath when you zoom in - where is that stated?  Not questioning the statement, just want to read the article!

    @ Morgan, yea I think mage-archers will be more about enhancing the archery than just buffing yourself. But what you can do is maybe go into illusion and manipulate your foes (make them turn on each other, make them run away things like that), then switch...  more

    Thinking of making my character a Breton Mage/Archer, thought it seemed like an interesting combo, so judging from the fact that archery has been improved loads in skyrim im pretty hopeful. Barely picked up a bow in oblivion but things are changing this t...  more

    I made the effort to improve my archery skill in Oblivion.  In its defense, archery was a lot more fun after you got to journeyman level, and particularly if you had decent sneak skill.  However, I believe archery is going to be a lot more interesting in ...  more

    Well it makes you hold your breath when you zoom in, not just when you draw the bow. I'm very excited for archery in Skyrim. I used it in both Oblivion and Morrowind but the new features make it a much more fitting weapon. It can now be a proper ambush/ h...  more
