Archery problem!

Post » Fri Jun 01, 2012 2:28 am

Hello! I am new to this forum. I searched the web wide and long as it is looking for an answer but couldn't find it. Lately I'm experiencing some problems whenever my character is trying to shoot an arrow. It misses every time flying either over the target or below it. It happens only when the bow is fully drawn. When I try to shoot without drawing the bow fully the arrow changes it's position to vertical in flight. I mean it still flies towards the target but not in with it's head pointing towards him but to the ground. It looks ridiculous and both problems made the game impossible for me as my character has always been a typical archer-hunter since I started playing Elder Scrolls back in the days. I reinstalled the game several times now. But it keeps happening after several hours of gameplay. It is the greatest game I have ever played but reinstalling it over and over again has made want to give up on it for good :( Does anybody have the same issue? Any idea how to fix it?

Are you using 3rd person view while firing with your bow? I've noticed that that is a lot harder.

I am. But it happens in 1st person mode as well. Arrows just seem not to care about the laws of physics. It wasn't happening before :(

Have you tried unequiping/dropping your weapons and arrows and trying again? Have you tried that, and also entered say a house, and exited again?

It actually worked. I dropped my bow and arrows. I noticed whenever I had more than 300 arrows in my quiver that's when they start behaving weird, but as long as it's less than 299 they fly normally... for now. Thank you!
