The way this perk is set up it not only doesn't make any sense, but it is set up so it's impossible to use.

I'm sure almost everyone knows about this perk but for those that do not I'll explain it: There is a perk in the archery skill tree that is called Eagle Eye. It says "Pressing Block while aiming, will zoom in your view"

Here is the problem:

You actually cannot aim with a bow without actually drawing an arrow, and the only way to draw an arrow is by using Block. If you try and press block to zoom in you will firre the arrow you was used in order to aim with Because the aim and block are both set to the LMB.

That's the way it's explained so, either the perk is broken and cannot be used, or the explanation on it's use is 100% incorrect. But right now due to the explanation this perk is impossible to use.

You hold the block button while the arrow is drawn...

Not that complicated Watson.

Works pretty good for me.

Explanation may be screwed, but somehow I understood how to use it right out of the gate.

Also, it really helps to notch the arrow fully first before using Eagle Eye.

The Perk works just fine. Yes, you have to Ready your Bow and Draw an Arrow to get the Zoom. Once you have the bow drawn, just use your Block Button and it all works just fine. You can undraw the arrow by sheathing the bow before you fire it.

Perk of the year for archers. Works great.

It works exactly in the same way that it does in Oblivion. Hell, even before I had the perk I found myself wanting to hold the "block" button so I could zoom in for my shot.

It sounds like he has mapped his attack and block to the same button

It's pretty simple and intuitive, I had no problem doing it when I got the perk, didn't even give it a second thought.

Hold RMB down to draw my bow, and then hold LMB to block (i.e. activate the perk). If I want to fire, I release RMB. If I want to keep my bow drawn but don't want the perk activated, I release LMB.

Not sure how your buttons are mapped (did you remap them?) but you can both bock and aim at the same time.

All of you are talking about AIMING I'm talking about ZOOMING IN. What all of you are saying you are doing is imposssible to do because of what is required to do in order to ZOOM IN.

You cannot ZOOM UNTIL YOU ARE ALREADY AIMING and THE PERK CLEARLY SAYS PRESS BLOCK WHILE AIMING,

The only way to aim to being with IS TO PRESS BLOCK, now once you are aiming you then have to press block AGAIN in order for you to zoom in.

So if you people really were zooming in, the arrow would be being shot, thus making you lose your aim.

So explain to me how you people are not shooting the arrow you are drawing?

There isn't actually a 'block' button per se. It changes depending on what weapon you're holding. The button you press normally to bash is the block button in this case.

Aiming IS zooming in.

Do you really think that ALL of us are wrong? Are we all lying about how this skill works, and you're the ONLY ONE after this long to figure out that a skill was broken?

Umm...no. Like I said, I think you have remapped your keys. My default setup allowed me to AIM (ZOOM) with RMB and BLOCK with my LMB (i.e. if my bow isn't drawn I do a BASH with LMB, which is the same as a BLOCK).

Sorry whats the issue? OP mapped the draw and block buttons to the same button? I dont see the issue with holding down two mouse buttons at once.

It's really simple.

You notch an arrow to your bow by using your attack button - for me it's my left mouse button. This is the aiming part.
You then use the block button to zoom in, WITHOUT releasing your attack button - for me it's my right mouse button.

Voila, you are now zoomed in.

If you have your attack and block button mapped to the same key then it would really be impossible for you to attack at all so I don't know what you're doing wrong, it works fine for everyone else

bro, you aim and zoom with two different buttons. Yes, you need to draw an arrow first, then while you are still holding the button to draw an arrow, you then press a secondary button to zoom in that view. The perk works fantastic. Either your keys are not mapped correctly, or you are doing something wrong and think this is call of duty.

For me, LMB is my draw button, then I hold RMB to zoom in. Release LMB and it fires.

Sorry unless you remap the buttons you cannot aim with RMB it's impossible. Even if you do remap the keys, you still wind up with the exact same situation..

Apparently people do not understand what the Eagle Eye perk even does or is supposed to do.
When you Draw you arrow, that SETS YOU TO AIM because you are already zoomed in. The eagle eye perk actually allows you to zoom in further than just the normal zoom.

LMB = BLOCK it's on all the loading screens it's even in the manual. LMB = FOR A BOW IS AIM AS WELL

Unless you remap the keys then RMB WITH A BOW = NOTHING FOR AIM or BLOCK

So why don't all of you assclowns who claerly do not understand the difference between AIMING and just looking and what buttons you're using to do it just stop this dumb trouble making charade

LMB is both the draw and arrow and AIM AND BLOCK BUTTONS and if you swap the keys you will set the RMB to both the draw to aim and press to block.

I'm done with this the perk is broken you all full well know you aren't able to use this and are just going out of your way to cause problems.

i'm reporting all of you for clearly going out of your way and obviously lying trying to say you're using buttons and doing thinigs you cannot possibly do. Then trying to tell me i'm the one trolling.

All of you saying you're doing somethinfg with the buttons in the game you simply cannot do are the trolls anyone playing Skyrim knows you cannot do what everyone here is saying they can and are.

They need to patch this broken perk simple as that.

Hahaha! I want in on the joke as well! Works fine for me. Xbox360 user here so the left stick is what I use to actually aim. The Right Trigger is for drawing an arrow and initiating the aim and Left trigger for zooming in or block if I have a shield equiped. Once on target release the Right trigger to fire. Easily one of the most useful perks Ive found so far.

I'm done with this now because anyone who plays or is playing Skyrim knows that BLOCK and AIM are the same exact button, and even remapping the buttons changes the Block and aim from the LMB to the RMB all anyone has to do to know this is play the game and see for themselves that all of you are just trouble makers.

Anyway I am just going through this thread and reporting people because you're obviously trolling and going out of your way to cause a major problem for some unknown reason.

ok.
