1.5 bow damage miscalculation bug

Post » Thu May 31, 2012 2:57 pm

So I must of picked the worst time to start playing Skyrim again. Why? because I always play a bow user as my main. I saw that bows now have killcams. I thought great, Fallout style, cool! But no. I now have a bug ( as do others) that now the old formula of Bow damage = (base bow damage + archery skill level, perks, enchants, ect. modifires) + arrow damage. now longer is in effect. now when you have arrows equiped ( as you would if you plan and shooting anything from a bow) it modifies the bow damage, then gets added on again. so its like arrow damage gets accounted for twice. that means better arrows can now nearly triple the total damage from before. some ppl report total damge in the 300's with this bug. honestly i always searched for the most lethal bow in the game before, this was not what i wanted. i one kill way to easy, its not even fun, just a traveling shooting gallery. ugh guess i better shelf skyrim for a year so bethesda can iron out its seemigly never end of bugs. how did this one get missed?

I can confirm this, as I play archer as well. The bow dmg is way over the top with 1.5.. I played Skyrim 4 months ago as an archer , I don't know which patch was live back then but I can remember the game running a lot more smoother and bow dmg was nowhere near as high as its atm.
