Is it just me or would it be awesome to have a Bow and Arrow in Honest hearts and maybe the special version be a Crossbow. Have it that you can poison tip the arrows. Have it count a melée weapon like thrown weapons. Who Agrees?

Personally, I think it would be awesome. I also think that if you can poison the arrows, you should be able to poison a small bunch at a time.

Would be awesome but it's never gunna happen

Id think it would be great,, id finely have a use for my tremble in my inventory if you could poison the arrows/bolts :gun:

...Why?

It's not impossible I doubt all crossbows/bows and arrows are all gone since the bombs went off. I also doubt that all knowledge pertaining to making one disappeared with the bombs as well. If theirs enough demand by the fans maybe they'll include one in one of these DLC's or Fallout 4. I personally always wished the Legion would use a bow and arrow or crossbow seems like it would fit them well.

You don't make any sense. If cavemen could figure out how to make a bow and arrow, why would all knowledge of it be erased. And I'm sure some bow and arrows would have survived in fireproof safes and stuff like that.

Crossbows would mean I'm closer to mad max in fallout, so I'm all for crossbows, bows I'm not to sure about.

All I'm saying is that you shouldn't reject the idea.

That would be pretty cool, but I don't see them adding the bow and arrow/crossbow, unfortunately!!!

I just meant in the whole world of Fallout.:biggrin: Seeing as theirs no evidence of any I believe in all games it's like they don't exist. We haven't seen the whole apocalyptic world of Fallout so if the devs feel like adding them in the future they always could and speaking for myself I wish they would.

Not in New vegas anyways.

So bows and arrows/Crossbows are destroyed but assault rifles and heavy weapons are A-okay? Granted, the Gun Runners exist, but some guns (i.e. The BAR) are certainly unique to the PC. I don't understand how the knowledge could disappear, I mean the continuity makes no sense--the PC can repair Miniguns and other weapons with high knowledge of repair, and can even make bullets, but when trying to figure out how to fletch a bow and arrow, then string the bow, its impossible? Come on, if older civilizations could make a bows and arrows, and even crossbows, certainly newer civilizations could figure something out.

Fallout 3 had a mod that brought bows and arrows into the game (unfortunately, upon searching, I could not find said mod by SaidenStorm), plus another separate mod that brought Crossbows, and personally, I would welcome them in. The bows and arrows should only be effective on unarmored targets, unless creating an arrow with other capabilities, and the same goes with the crossbow.

I could go out right now and make a relatively decent bow right now. The only problem is finding a natural source of sinew, I would likely have to improvise with something else for the string. It wouldn't be the most absolutely amazing bow, but small game would be fine to kill with it. I'm sure with practice I could make it better.

CL needs some archers that shoot flaming arrows.

I know but it would be greate to role play robin hood with it .Steal from the rich give to the poor and decapitate a deathclaw with a bow and arrow .

It fits the Tribal feel of Honest Hearts, I'm giving a 55% chance of Bows/ Crossbows being in HH.

I don't see why it wouldn't be in in honest hearts. I mean it really fits the tribal feeling for the DLC. It could be pretty cool, different arrow types and people that sell said arrows.

Explosive tip, poison tip, fire arrows, possibly stunning arrows?

I was thinking about this earlier today, and I asked myself: "What skill would a bow and arrow realate too?"
I honestly can't think of one.

Sad thing is, that's probably the only reason why they won't make it.

They should have taken out grenades and dynamite from explosives, made a thrown skill, put throwing spears, hatchets, and knives into it. I think it's broad enough to add. Not that they will.

How are you gunna kill some one with a cross bow? If an certain NPC is wearing good enough armor it would just bounce off. Armor pierceing Arrows? Nah I dont like it.

Well you're not going to be using a Crossbow against a Trooper or Ranger or anyone else with Medium+ armor. Crossbow would be used on un-armored enemies (Mole Rats, Ants, Ghouls, etc...) and light-armored enemies (Tribals!). I think it's a perfect weapon for a National Park.

easy

crossbows= guns
bow and arrow=melee
laser x-bow=energy

I'd say Melee, seeing as throwing spears and things are Melee counted
