Okay two quick questions, am I crazy or do headshots do more damage. Also what damage does the bound bow do because I read the stats and it says it’s like 50 which seems strange if I have 40 archery no perks and if I get the best bow and arrow I can find I could maybe do 24 with ordinary weapons (... I’m not complaining just wondering).

Speaking of bound weapons does anyone know if they scale or what is the base damage and will conjuration perks improve them?

Head shots do not do more damage.

Oh my... Director of Design



-be cool, be cool-

So how you doing.




Seriously don't you dare change the bound bow it’s the only lifeline my poor mage has left... Although it would be nice if summoning weapons didn't alert enemies. Just saying hint, hint >_>

No extra headshot damage? Then we should at least be allowed to quickscope...

Take the perk in the Illusion tree that lets you cast spells silently and you can conjure all the bows you want without alerting anybody.

So then what makes some shots do more damage than others? (I'm not talking about the sneaking bonus nor the crit chance perk)

I remember using an Oblivion mod that added headshots. It really adds to the game, rewarding precise aim instead of backpedaling and turning everyone into pin cushions.

I'm looking for an answer to this too.

Obviously they can be modified with some of the perks, but how are the base attributes of Bound items determined? Are they fixed or do they scale with something like Conjuration?

I was pretty sure that head shots did diddly. it would be cool if they staggered them though. that sure the heck would stagger me!

I lol'd

Was there any particular reason you guys didn't do locational damage again, if you don't mind me asking?
