Crossbows as a vampire : V

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:01 am

So Im wondering...

If you choose to side with the Vampires, can you still get crossbows?

... Well yeah, you're gonna kill dawnguards then right? So loot 'em.

Maybe they only carry the steel crossbow, and you can only get the dwarven one in the dawnguard?

Smithing?

Play a game where you can loot everything off your fallen foe...
Still concerned whether or not the Dawnguard will drop crossbows.

I doubt they'd add a new weapon exclusive to not being a vamp lord when the main focus of the DLC is on vamp lords. Just my thoughts

Isn't there a crossbow on the pc's back in the gameplay footage before he transforms into a VL?

In the E3 gameplay, or the trailer, I forget, someone with a crossbow turned into a vampire lord, so yeah, Crossbows are not guild exclusive. Although, I hope dawnguard gives you a really powerful bow at the end of their faction line that vamps cannot get.

Were they present in a past TES game? Morrowind if I'm correct?

Yup, good ol' Morrowind. And I saw a vid where a guy (not sure if it was the one with Todd or not, its on the G4 site) said that we would be able to smith a dwarven crossbow.

Yeah, I guess they chose the dwemer because of their great skill at macking mechanical stuff, so the crossbow was pretty appropriate.

Exactly. I can just see my assassin types making great "art" with these weapons

I love the looks of them, apparantly there's only two types though, steel and dwarven

Yeah, that is all there were in vanilla Morrowind as well.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:49 am

Doubt it

but that's confirmed to be the way you get those

Oh right i never played morrowind xD Hopefully the Dwarven one is Dawnguard only and the steel one is obtainable by the vampires if need be

I just wonder if it is just going to appear in the dwarven section of smithing or if we have to find a dwemer schematic or something.

I guess we just gotta wait and see -.- So jealous of the beta testers. xD

I thought about applying but I started reading the terms and didn't think I could devote enough time to it. Oh well, Its only a couple more weeks. :edit: I hope they optimize ranged horseback archery in the meantime, I'm getting better at it but I think it is still a little off.

Anyway I'm pretty blown away from the early arrival of the first DLC, I remember the devs a very few months ago didn't have ideas on what it would be about, then with the unlucky death of their concept artist, I just say kudos for their fast recovery, both on the mourning and on the creation of the DLC.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 2:22 pm

Two words. Dragonbone. Crossbows.. I've all the smithing perks for a reason dagnabbit!

I noticed that ranged horseback needed a bit of editing, it seems as if the legs are just stuck on the horse and the torso can spin 180 degrees? also i applied for it, but only those applying from the u.s could get in :/

Woah i didnt know about the death of the concept artist, sorry for their loss and props to them to get this dlc up and running so soon :biggrin:
