Bow Damage as of 1.5

Post » Fri Jun 01, 2012 12:39 am

Dear skyrimmers!

I recently updated my skyrim to patch 1.5(xxxx) and I noticed that my bow damage was upped from ~62 to over 100.
Is this a bug? Because i certainly don't want to be overpowered, I think bow damage was fine but now it just seems over the top.
Is there some full list of changelogs from patch 1.5 that I can have a look at?

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Kind regards

This has been reported many times, specifically during the beta and after. The actual damage is the same, only the displayed damage is incorrect. This is because the displayed damage is adding the arrow damage twice in the displayed value. Testing has shown that the actual damage done under 1.5 is the same as it was under 1.4.

See I thought something was going wrong. I was like, "What, did I take a perk that adds +100 to my bow damage?" For a while I tried to figure out if it was just some jump that happened when you hit 100 with it. Alas, my bows have not become Zeus' Lightning Bolts!

Well, at least now i can take up a second weapon skill without fearing automatic death from weakness!

That's been our findings as well. We'll let you know if there's an update to damage shown.
