When it comes to Skyrim they're both as accurate as each other. Sure, a "5700:1" mouse might be more advantageous for long distance cross-map sniping in Counter-strike or whatever, but it's not that hard to hit a target with an arrow in Skyrim. Plus I've found I can get pretty damn close to enemies without them noticing in this game, so accuracy is pretty much redundant at that point.

Also, from what i have gathered, changing the CPI settings for a mouse means you can only change the speed at which you can move your aim - nothing to do with the actual fineness of accuracy you can achieve. That means it may be -quicker- to get a more precise shot using a mouse, although I doubt it seeing as how you'd have to continuously change the mouse settings each time you move on to the next enemy. So the CPI thing isn't valid here.

It's all down to personal experience. Besides, they're only electronic peripherals - who the hell cares which is better?

yoru being over defensive and sensitive to cover your ass. relax, i have a ps3, used to have a 360, i do wish i could proper utilize a mouse and keyboard with it, but there are latency issues for some damn reason.

also, so long as you have the know how and the money, nearly everything on a pc IS better, just an example of you getting what you pay for.

consoles have there place. the reason they excel is the same reason apple products excel, of which i wont bother explaining because of your apparent sensitivities.

and the deformity comment is a actual reason, if your hand was hurt in such a way that using a mosue was troublesome but a controller wasnt...so while you can be oversensitive about it, it was nothing short of a realistic statement with no bashing or prejudice about it.

you asy im elitist, i say your a prime example of self justifying having less. Consoles, especially current ones, are subpar systems from a technological standpoint given current technology. there is NO "better then thou attitude" its just facts. also, preferring something over something else has nothing to do with whats better.

so get off your low horse...or however you view it and realize im not bashing consoles, im stating facts while your talking about preference. which is fine, you prefer a controller, use one, wont change that a mouse is better.

but as far as on topic, i made a archery char, i like it, but its mainly because this game is more of a fps then a melee...its just that melee is a dominant factor in it. tho sometimes i may feel OP with the stagger perk.

one does not have to care to argue a point

are u hitting the target that tends 2 help

Not trying to argue for the sake of it, but just wanted to point out that in Skyrim, a Headshot makes no difference at all. sure it looks cool, but a shot into someone's foot knee does exactly the same damage as a shot to the head. So all you need to do it hit the target tbh.....

I never said you were wrong, I just stated fact that DPI is about resolution.

You are being condescending. You have typical PC elitist attitude, thinking that everything about the PC is so much better. And to think that you would have to have some sort of physical deformity to be unable to use a mouse is, quite frankly, disrespectful towards both those with physical deformities and those that prefer joysticks. I never said a mouse was worse, my point was personal ability. Quit your "better than thou" attitude

Then why put so much effort into arguing your point?

What you don't realise is my mouse boasts an 1800 DPI. As he already said, the people who make the mouse use the term DPI.

Another thing you don't realise is that gamepads can be used on PCs also, so I don't understand how he is that childish term "PC Elitist".

If you have never used a mouse and keyboard and became good with it how can you possibly say it's not better? You can't just pick up a mouse and keyboard and become great overnight, it actually does take time. For racing and sports games a gamepad would win easily but for FPS there is no competition for the mouse.

Lol, not to pick on ya or anything but the perk for backstabs with a dagger increases it to a total of 15×.

I think you're thinking of the default (no perks) damage bonus for sneak attacks with a dagger, which is 5×.

Also mouse is unquestionably better speed and precision than gamepad, it's why FPS on PC is an entirely different experience than on consoles.

The only thing about it is that you need to learn how to use the cross-hairs, and learn how the arrows fly when hitting targets at different distances to get head shots. I'm still getting the hang of it myself!

At early stages, Archery is insanely underpowered, dealing about 10 damage per shot, when most low level enemies have about 50-100, taking 5-10 arrows, quite clearly.

Later stages, they still feel a little underpowered, mine does about 60 damage per shot, but very few enemies can it one shot kill.

They need to give it a bit of a boost, because even with the perks, it's not powerful enough.

it's not a lucky glitch. you used console commands, because the ancient cowl there doesn't work right.
