Bethesda please add cross hairs to mounted bowcrossbows : V

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 1:22 pm

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in that I found it confusing to tell where my arrow was going to go at times, with some practice I kind of got the hang of it(depending on the angle/slope) but I think a cross hair/reticle alone would help greatly.

Also let me know if I should have put this in the "Skyrim General Discussion".

I have one when I use a bow/crossbow on horseback. You must be glitched or something?

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:14 pm

Yeah for me it works for bows but not crossbows. Fortunately I was targeting a bear so I couldn't miss. Pretty sure it's a bug, and it svcks.

This is a bug that was identified in the beta but evidently not fixed.

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 4:06 am

Seems like every reported bug discovered by the beta was left broken, so what was the point of the beta again?

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 6:08 pm

Can we get a list from the beta members about what WAS fixed, or does that violate the NDA?

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 6:07 pm

I'm also curious as to what was fixed. >_>
Anyways I'm hoping this is fixed soon, I'm really looking forward to the crossbows. =\

I have to ask. When you get sent into orbit by a giant, do you scream "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off agaiiiiiiiin!"?

You know the golden rule here, keep it "sticky on top" or it won't happend

Oh god lmao.

I have the same problem too, i assumed it was a glitch so i'm hoping they fix it in the next patch.

I have a crosshair on my crossbow, works fine.

As for what bugs they fixed, Gstaff wont tell us either.

Well can't never shoot from horse anymore I wasted about 120 bots already my enemies must be happy

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:07 pm

I had a crosshair when i was using a bow on horseback for a while then when i was riding Arvak it just disappeared.

I'd prefer an Iron Sights style aiming mechanism for the Crossbow myself. It'd be nice if that were available.

Also, its not really related, but how about making bolts via the forge? We can do arrows now (finally, and thanks Bethesda), but what about bolts?

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 8:13 am

You can make bolts via forges (if you're Dawnguard faction).

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 8:52 am

Not for me. I'm with the Dawnguard, and I don't have it available.
Was it only at Fort Dawnguard? I checked in Whiterun and it wasn't available.
I didn't see a forge in Dawnguard. If you can do it anywhere, maybe its just buggy for me.

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 7:24 am

There's a forge in Fort Dawnguard. Speak to the people around it and they offer side quests for flame bolts etc.

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 6:15 am

Only does that on zephyr and crossbows for me.

You have to have the steel smithing perk if you want to smith steel bolts

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:07 pm

Exactly the same for me its really annoying

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 6:58 pm

i fixed my crosshair bug turning off/on the xbox and reload it only failed on arvak anyways

Have you done the Dawnguard side quests? Each time you collect the ancient dwemer secrets or whatever for that one chick... (oh gawd I'm lacking specificity)... she should teach you how yo create the various bolts and you can then smith them anywhere.

When you walk straight into Dawnguard and you walk into the dining hall, turn left and go all the way down to the end -- there will be an enchanter, alchemy table, and smithing tools. The forge just outside, before the fenced in area for the armored trolls.

I have to admit I did say that once when Serana got launched, quickly followed by "Wait, oh my god no!"

Thankfully because she is immortal all you have to do is wait a hour and she'll be back...
