Once I made my first daedric bow I was hooked...and with a double enchantment now, It's dropping my enemies like flies... What's your preference?

My faithfull Glass Bow with no Enchantments and Steel Arrows..

Don't like those super powerfull Daedric/Ebony/Dragon stuff... They are too fancy and powerfull..

I pretend to stick with my Iron Armor and Glass Bow and Sword forever.. I'm currently lvl 40.

Im still waiting to see ebony and dragon, but generally the super high fantasy stuff is to silly looking for my taste.

For a human character the glass armor and stuff is a little to "fancy", I still wear fur and scaled.

Too each their own though, if it feels good do it!

edit: Thats one thing I really like about smithing, if you prefer the way something looks, you can upgrade it and keep it fairly viable even as you lvl up.

I'm training smithing to improve a Long Bow or a Hunting Bow, because my Glass Bow looks too fancy for my Nord.. :o

Nightingale bow with ebony arrows. I have had only one daedric arrow but I've had it for a couple weeks now. I use it only to kill special targets. I'm lucky in that I have the archer skill tree maxed out so I have lucked out on retrieving it over and over. :toughninja:

Exactly. And who wants to see a Nord wearing Elven armor? That just aint right! (but like I said, too each their own)

I just use a legendary Ebony bow with Iron Arrows, as the Ebony bow is strong, and the arrows are cheap.

I prefer a smithed Elven bow, because I like how it looks and it saves me some perk points.

I didn't mention it before, but I was semi-devastated when I realized there were no dragon bows to be made at the forge... I mean at least a bow...c'mon. My daedric does 357 damage with fire and shock, but I bet a dragon bow could reach 400...and maybe even have jeweled teeth???

i have found that daedric bows take longer to draw back, so i have 3 bows i run with Angi's bow is really fast fire with good smith and ebb arrows its good no enchants, an orc with firey soul trap, and lighting gets them gems filed quick with ebb arrows ( named Fistandantilus's Reach (Dragon lance)) and a Deadric with double magic dam ( you can get 2 to add with finding some weapons) i use and array of posions and weaknesses depending on the bow and the person, but untill the new patch for 360 i have not been using the weakness to magic frost fire lighting because of it being so damn broken..... pthhhhhhhhhhhhh the the last bow is called Xotholo's (sp i dont feel like looking it up ) touch Mian god of bad luck and a whole lot of other things including death
its all about the name i have been known to scrap a bow if i dont like or grow old of the name

also i forgot to tell you all death bell Giant Lichen and salt, its a slow and weakness to poison its great for big guys because you can (with the perk) get two of them then load you fav poison and go to town, works great on giants that are the two furs or put that on one blade and your fave poison on the other i call that the one two drops them like high school panties..... maybe i should not of used that line
