makes perfect sense skyrim is set around 1300 and so most archers should use crossbows except elves

the game wont let me upgrade my crossbow

this does not fit into skyrims lore or whatever the fuck its called cuz skyrim is kinda ''before crossbows'' but the dawnguard invented them for use against vampires

War crossbows need to be put in the dirt and have two hands on the string to reload. Yours looks too fast and easy to reload.

it would say dlc required dawnguad but it dont so he lying

Just to let you know I think you messed up on the cross bow damage just slightly.
Note testing done with 100 archery (since I can't set archery to 0 for base damage) after I noticed that the dwarven crossbow was a downgrade from the crossbow (steel smithing required)

My Reasoning for this is.
Steel Crossbow (the most basic one named crossbow) does 47 damage
Dwarven does 35
Elven 30
Orcish 32
Glass 32
Ebony 35
Dragon 37
Daedric 47

I am just wondering if it was your intent to have the steel crossbow match the highest damage crossbow in this particular mod. In addition I wonder why there is such a large leap between Dragon and Daedric. Especially since Dragon requires a higher smithing skill it should in turn provide more damage. I am just looking for some insight into this and if this damage scale was in error I am glad I could help you out!

Can this work with the "Integrated crossbbows" mod pack?

I consider this a 'must have' mod for archery users myself. But one question, does this include the dragonebone crossbow?

@johnmproffer yes Dawnguard is needed

Do you need the DLC?

Seems a bug occurs. Attention: It never happens before. Now, the default steel crossbow is more powerful than anyother crossbows (as least until orc and dwarf line, not yet meet glass and daedra though). Even better than the crossbow that the orc gives to you in Dawnguard's keep (strange thing is, that orc gives you a steel crossbow too, but not yet as powerful as you made by yourself). As far as I can remember, it seems that crossbows (except the default steal crossbow) are somehow weakened ... Like a bug to me though.

I am having an issue with the mod. I cant seem to do any damage with my shots... I hit the dead on but it dosnt do any damage. Please help.

why this mod doesn't work? :(

omg to many dawnguard mods

@DemoMan yes it is.

is dawn gaurd required?

Is the bug fixes where steel crossbows are better then ebony or orcish?

So it's no longer working for some reason

this mod is how dawngard should already be like so cool

I love this mod, it is perhaps the first time i've really cared about the smithing perk tree. However there is one problem/bug. Apparently the 'dropped' version of the steel crossbow is leveling as I do, since the dropped version is even more powervul now at 24 then the crafted steel version. Right now, the simple 'steel' version that I got off a bandit is now more powerful then even a crafted orc crossbow.

Other then that I love this mod and see no problems in it. :)

can you use this with automatic crossbow mod?

So, why the new crossbows and bolts? Why not just have the same stuff but have them craftable and available from bandits, guards and soldiers?

@Doom - In Morrowind, taking place 200 years ago, they could be found everywhere for sale. I doubt they would have fallen into disuse for 200 years. A lot of good stuff was left out after Morrowind. Personally, I'd like to see real spears and halberds come back, instead of just reskinned swords and axes.

the only thing i see wrong is that crossbows are only used by the dawngaurd, thus everyone having them makes little sense. just saying

FYI I found that when I installed this mod I could no longer upgrade crossbows; I don't know what might do that but you might want to look into that.

So I found a Glass Crossbow and its damage was nearly half that of the basic Crossbow. What's that about?

<GR> | Cinisavis
you forgot to uncheck the mod in the data files

Is there going to be a dragonborn supporting verson soon?

sunscribed to this mod and after a while I got tired of it. But for some reason, even after I unsubscribed it, I am still seeing bandits and guards walking around with Crossbows.
What do I do to fix this?

very good work for this crossbow i advises this mod

yes eidolol is right dawnguard suck if you dont want to be a vampire

someone needs to make a crossbow mod that gives you a crossbow without having dawnguard.

I can't seem to find the crossbows or bolts in any vendor's list. Is this a bug or was it fixed or is there something else?

I can no longer temper my crossbows. The dragon bone crossbow looks awesome!!!!!!

The damage on the bows goes up and down, up and down, up and down, the damage on the bows goes up and down, all day loong.

One minute my bow does 24 damage. I kill someone who has a bow, and look at hit on the ground, it does 37. Then look at my in my inventory, and it dos 37.

Yeah mod is broken. I like the idea behind it, especially the passive 25% armor pierce, because it only makes sense that all crossbows have armor piercing abilities considering that was their main purpose, to pierce the tin cans of seasoned knights so that even a child could kill them through the jerkin and chainmail without having to make an overely complicated and skilled shot through armors weak points.

The damage is fine when using the Crossbow Collection mod that your weapons come from, but for some reason your versions are broken.

With a further look into the damage it would appear that the damage displayed by the crossbows in your mod is infact the BASE damage of the crossbows, unaffected by archery skills, I dont have the skill to fix it but like the poster below me said, it seems like a simple thing to fix, so please fix it for us. :)

@valdrec yes, i looked at the esp file in the creation kit and the base damage is broken =( its fixed easy when you know how to use the creation kit

I'm fairly sure it's to do with this mod, but I thought it would be safe to check, are ordinary crossbows supposed to be higher base damage then the latter versions? I swear my ordinary crossbow is better than even Ebony.

Cracking, permanently installed.

I have crash :(

not showing up in vendors for me as well

Does this mod lower the base damage on the regular crossbow? I've got a few points into the overdraw perk, and my crossbow at this point only does 22 damage, while the elven longbow from Ishilmiel's LOTR weapons mod does 36 damage.

they aren't showing up in the vendors' invetories for me is this a bug or do the crossbows becaome available after a certain lvl?
