I personally would love to see a few things associated with the crossbow:

1. Having multiple types of crossbows.

2. Craftable bolts or at least a decent amount of enemies using crossbows.

3. Crossbows being a generic weapon, not just a Dawnguard (The faction) specific weapon.

Any thoughts on what you'd like to see Crossbow wise?

I personally would love silver crossbows, loved all the silver weapons in oblivion and I know you can get swords and greatswords but thats not really enough imo, think a silver crossbow would not only look great but would be my primary vampire killing tool, van helsing style lol.

It'd also be a Werewolf killing tool.

I would like to have a crossbow like in the Van Hellsing movie.Automatic Crossbow

I would like to see heavy and light variants for all materials and also special looking X-bows that have cool enchantments and stuff

im hoping for new crossbow specific perks

Marshall, the crossbow perks are just going to go with the archer perks.

I do hope that the crossbows load really slowly, like real crossbows. If they're just gonna be sideways bows then adding them becomes purely cosmetic.

As of now we are stuck with the bow perks.Bow and Crossbow will use the same skill tree but Crossbows will have a higher chance to stagger enemies.

Bethesda states that apparently the pros and cons to X-bows will be along the lines of:

Pros- Can be stored on your back while loaded, for a quick shot when you need it and every shot with the crossbow will have a chance to stagger the enemy.

Cons- The crossbow will take longer to load and (possibly?) be less accurate/or less range

So far I like the look of the steel crossbow they've shown us, it's small and light looking which matches my rogue perfectly. But I also hope to see some massive portable ballista type machines as well.

I'd want to see a variety of crossbows, including a Dwemer variant, and perhaps higher levels too...possibly Orcish, or Ebony. It seems in particular that Orcs would use crossbows...it's the kind of hard-hitting brutality I imagine them looking for in their weapons. Though, I don't think I want to see a 'silver crossbow', but maybe 'silver bolts'.

I would like a cross bow that shot fireballs......or lazers...

I think 1-H crossbows would be amazing with a little reload animation to make it seam plausible. Also maybe incorperate some sort of dwemer crossbow which can shoot like 6 bolts without needing to reload. I also think that the new vampire lord should have a custom perk tree or at least his skills should align with the perks of the werewolves (Lycanthropy). And just for the heck of it I hope they do add the werebear...Just a quick question for everyone. Which player home in dawnguard do you think will be the coolest?

I think the vampire home will probably be cooler, it would be different from what we're used to but on the other hand it will be SO evil looking lol so really about what the player prefers (good vs evil), and yeah the werebear would be awesome imo, it could be neutral in the vampire/dawnguard conflict and you could maybe get a quest to recruit it to your cause? I dno but I think that would be cool.

Not that i doubt you but can you link this source?

Oh- quickshots- mean crossbow is the superior for every 1st shot.

Also.. Totally called quickshots AND stagger if this source is confirmed- so- called it.
