Really? A silver bow works against ghosts in Oblivion....then again I avoided archery like the plague when I played Morrowind.........

Better arrows travel in a straighter (and more predictable) path, AFAIK.

Hitting is based on your skill with the bow, not the type of arrows or the type of bow.

Also, the better material, the arrow usually holds more enchantment. Like a steel viper-arrow normaly does less poison than a bonemold viper-arrow

Few more questions...
A couple of my stats are in red (luck and personality) what is the significance of that?
What do the little icons at the bottom right of the screen mean?
I have tried using the official forum at (
www.elderscrolls.com/forums), but after creating a new account there, I was still unable to seach or start new threads, and now my account has disappeared. Anone else had these problems? It is the construction set forum I want, as there is none here.

Red stats mean they have been drained. Head to a shrine to get them restored to normal.
The bottom right show effects that are currently on you. The different icons show what spell effects they are and what not.

Also worth noting is that if you have something that boosts one of your stats, if that stat is drained, you'll only be able to restore it to its normal level while the boost is still active. You'll have to remove the boost in order to fully restore the stat, then reapply it to gain the boost.

...No matter how many times I read that, I still don't get it...:erg:

Yes, not exactly the clearest explination, is it?
Let me try again.
Say you have a strength of 50 and a ring that gives you +20 strength (Constant effect) so your altered strength is 70. Then you get hit by something that drains your strength to 10, so with the +20 bonus, your altered strength is 30. If you go to a shrine or cast a restoration spell, your strength will only go back up to 50 (30 plus the 20 point bonus), because that's what the game thinks your strength is. You'll have to take off the ring before you get restored so your natural strength returns to 50, then put on the ring to regain your altered 70 strength.

In other words: Before you restore a damaged stat, unequip all enchanted items that boost that stat.
