Arrow Speed Enhanced - Dawnguard Edition

Description
This mod increases the arrow speed, depending on the type of arrow. With faster arrows, you may need to aim lower than you usually do, since they arc differently. Once you figure out the new aiming, the higher speeds make moving targets easier to hit.

Iron - 1x (default speed)
Falmer - 1.5x
Forsworn - 1.5x (Falmer and Forsworn arrows are weaker than Iron, damage wise, but I made them faster to hopefully keep them from being absolutely useless.)
Steel - 2x
Dwarven - 2.5 (Because Dwemer don't do archery?)
Orcish - 3x
Bound - 4x
Elven (including both Sunhallowed and Bloodcursed vesions)/Glass/Ebony/Daedric - 5x (Here's where it caps, since 5x is REALLY FREAKING FAST! :D )
Dragonbone - 5.5x (Ok, I lied. Dragonbone is faster, because Dragonbone must be THE BEST! MUAHAHA!)

Ancient Nord Arrows are left alone at default speed, because they're ancient, and I'm assuming they're stinky by now.

With Dawnguard comes BOLTS!

Steel Bolt (all types) - 2x (In comparison to the Iron Arrow default. Bolts are actually already 1.5x faster than arrows unmodded.)
Dwarven Bolts (all types) - 3x

---------------------------

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This version is for the vanilla + Dawnguard version of Skyrim. There are also two other versions of this mod to cover all DLC - The Vanilla Edition (see below for details) and the Dragonborn Edition. To minimize confusion, I have provided a HANDY DANDY GUIDE below. (yay!)

The Handy Dandy Guide:

If you have:

Vanilla Skyrim ONLY (no dlc): Get the Vanilla Edition

Vanilla Skyrim + Dawnguard: Get the Dawnguard Edition ONLY. It contains both the Vanilla and new arrows from the expansion.

Vanilla Skyrim + Dragonborn: Get the Vanilla Edition, AND the Dragonborn Edition. (The Dragonborn Edition ONLY COVERS THE NEW ARROWS FROM THE EXPANSION.)

Vanilla Skyrim + Dawnguard + Dragonborn: Get the Dawnguard Edition AND the Dragonborn Edition, but NOT the Vanilla Edition.

Links for all three:

Dawnguard Edition: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=164456506
Dragonborn Edition: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=164463746

----------------------------------------------

This mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't edit arrow speeds.

---------------------

This mod was inspired in part by:

- The fact that arrows in real life don't sail gracefully through the air at the speed of SLOW.
- Trying to find up-to-date arrow mods that increase speed realistically, and failing.
- A mod that someone made for Oblivion that increased arrow speed depending on the quality of the arrow. (Can't remember its name. ARG!)

i feel like one vanilla version and one "all dlc" version would've been more organised

Lately my arrows seem to fall dead, bounce off dragur, if I spelled that right. Thought I'd try this Mod. I use Deadric and bound arrows so they should be amazing but not lately! no conflicting mods in either.

Arrow speeds too fast. Turning off auto-aim (with a mod) makes it easier to hit moving targets than anything else. The reason is because auto-aim doesn't lead your targets - you have to do that manually w/o auto-aim on to do it.

Faster != better.

Arrow speeds are great as you have made them, don't worry about the other posters. Subscribed, rated up, and favorited. Thanks :)

The four people below me are dead on and I agree with them. Gradual increase is a good idea, but always keep the crossbows as fastest.

The incriments should be decreased to point value. No need to go from an Iron arrow at 1x speed, to a Steel arrow thats 2x original arrow speed. I mean, 5.5x? really? how do you even aim that? lol. Why not have more gradual increases? for instance, making steel arrows 1.25x normal speed, and so on, to have a gradual increase to a 3x cap.

I love the idea for this mod, just needs a little tweaking!
