Its a little bit frustrating when my enemies have my precious daedric arrows stuck in them and i cant get them back...

I mean, the guy has so many arrows sticking out of his face he looks like hellraiser, and i cant remove them? Pbbb... C'mon..

as your archery skill increases, the odds of retrieving your arrows goes up. also, there is a perk that doubles that chance. just unlucky for now....

i'm not sure but i think the higher level the arrow the lower the chance to retrieve it as well. at least that's how it seems to go for me.

Some arrows break and when you learn not to hit bone, they are more likely to be recovered.

LOL

^ This! o/

I always just passed it off as broken arrows.

It's called realism. You have apparently never been archery hunting.

Shoot a buck with a bow and there's a good chance the arrow cannot be salvaged. It splinters, breaks, or even shatters if you hit a bone at a certain angle.
