Hi urybody. I'm wondering if it would be possible to complete all of the game Skyrim using just a raw bow? By raw bow, I mean a bow without any special effects or enchantments, like the Ebony Bow I have. And using the Skill Tree as your main strength and full training of course.

My Ebony is doing the most damage for me currently, so I thought there might be something to the idea.

Thanks, G

Hi Gardenia,
Y'know we were just talking about this on another thread - how there are different ways to make the game challenging (without turning the difficulty to Master).
See, this would never occur to me, what you're suggesting heheh...
I have a double-enchanted Nord Hero bow (only 7 pounds) that is almost my main killing machine.
I guess I don't really need the shock + frost it puts on its victims...
But you'd need to smith it up to 200 or maybe 300 damage?
Then, with a Fortify Archery enchantment 300 damage becomes 400...?
(LoL, that's why I'm playing on Master.)

So, no enchantments then - but could you smith it up?
Puny default damage is gonna go through a LOT of arrows, heheh...
Luckily they're weightless.

Sure.

Especially if you can use alchemy to boost your skill or add temporary effects to the bow, or enchant some gear to give you better archery damage.
