Dawnguard will crossbows be held by NPCs? : V

Do you think this dlc will add crossbows as a unique item only for dawnguards or that it'll add in as an extra weapon so bandits can use it?
I guess its only going to be limited so vampric lords cannot get it what do you think?

I think the crossbow will be a unique item for the dawnguard rather then every one to have to have the crossbow

I seem to remember a trailer where someone uses a crossbow and then turns into a vampire lord, I could be remembering incorrectly as they have stated that crossbows are specifically related to the Dawnguard. Can't see why you wouldnt be able to loot crossbows of their copses though haha It's probably more likely that high level crossbows are Dawnguard specific...

I don't see how the regular NPC's in Skyrim could get the crossbow.

Yes, NPC will be able to use them. Have you not seen the trailer?... I think that everyone will be able to use Xbows since you can craft bolts. But there really is no way of knowing for sure until we actually get to play it.

I saw the same trailer in which someone with a crossbow become a vampire lord. I think that if there is only 1 or 2 types of crossbow then only the Dawnguard and/or the vampire lords will have them. But if there are more crossbows like dwarven, ebony, orcish ect. then bandits will have them too.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too, hopefully it is.

Turing Vampire Lord "on" and "off" is avaible at any time. So, once you kill someone shooting crossbow bolts at you, you then turn human and loot them. Durr.

There is a shot in the gameplay preview where an NPC is using it, in what looks to be somekind of Crossbow 101.

i hope the folks back home can use it, namely bandits and perhaps draugr.

I read in an article somewhere that there is only one kind of Crossbow...

I heard differently. I heard that at least two exist, dwarven and steel.

Which is wrong, according to one of the actual game developers on one of the E3 videos.

Thank God! It bummed me out when i read it....

This is the link where i read it just in case you're curious: http://www.justpushstart.com/2012/06/skyrim-dawnguard-dlc-contains-one-crossbow/

I personally think it has to be unique to dawnguard because just killing any odd bandit for this weapon would eliminate such as awesome reason to join the dawnguard.

I wouldn't trust such articles. Nothing was shown backing his statement and it was pretty short in detail.

You and me both my friend. I certainly hope this is the case.
