Don't worry BlackAsp I know what you're talking about ;) , to be good with a longbow or other bow weapons you had to have great upper body strength and I wouldn't try to agrue against it, I'm just saying that I don't believe Morrowind works that way.
As for using longbows in Solstheim my assassin and thief characters put them to good use out in the forests and plains as they could sneak around and snipe creatuers getting even higher damage bonuses for doing it while sneaking. :ebil:

Np scud im only trying to help and maybe RPG can become so real someday in the furture.
P.S. are the moderators reading this thread? can anything be done about the details i explain eariler, something like a plugin for realistic about using the bows?
You know what, when i shot off a arrow or a spell of fireball high in the sky in the night, man this would be even cool if that arrow could keep travel til it hit the dirt or water. Like shooting catapults lol. Bombardment all over the places on the other side. :ebil:

You could use the edit button and do something about them yourself :D

Well unless one of the forum mods has been dying to make an archery mod I doubt much would happen. I do know that there are archery mods out there (I have downloaded one but haven't tried it yet) but I don't think they make the kinds of changes you're talking about. Other than finding one of these mod authors and pitching your ideas the only thing I could suggest is taking Myoldnamebroke's advise and making your own.

Ohh...
Monbee slaps forehead comically
When you asked the forum moderators to do something about it, I assumed you meant change what you had written in your post. The moderators aren't necessarily plugin makers...make the question more general and perhaps you'd get a better response. But yes, do as I suggested ;) and make your own.

Opps lol i though i was gonna use the moderators as plugins lol. :cheeky:
Well i doubt if i will try to edit the archery skills i mention, but would be cool for those who use bows/xbows though.

Why not use destruction magic? It's, in many ways, much better than marksmanship weapons. If you carry around lots of restore magica potions, you'll never run out of punch in a tough fight. Destruction magic does alot more damage (like killing 5 ordinators in one shot). I do see the appeal of bows to a thief charecter, however,IMO destruction magic is much better.

Destruction magic is great, untill you run into something with high magic resistantces or worse, reflect. And the kind of spells needed to kill five ordinators is going to be a high powered mana hog which is no good for non magic oriented classes like thieves or assassins or warriors and good mana potions are also more costly than arrows.
If you want to hit multiple targets or just add some magic damage to your attacks then buy some enchanted arrows or bolts and work on upping the skills that will serve your character better.

Also, it's not about what's best, it's about what you want to roleplay.
fatman on 12/7/2003 at 11:43
I must agree with that. However, i do think blasting things with magic is fun. Also, to counter enamies with relect, I simply relfect it back at them (almost 100% relfect/spell absorb). And the spell that takes down ordinators costs 133 magica.... a bit high yes, but is easily dealt with through lots of restore magica potions.
