Archery Skill Reduction during Battles
Is anyone else having issues with their archery skill dropping significantly during battles? My character has a skill of 174 and can't hit accurately from more than 10 feet away during battles despite having pinpoint accuracy when I test it out in towns. Archery was working fine too until the last couple of battles, where it suddenly just stopped working properly. I've never encountered this glitch in any other mod and the glitch keeps happening when I start new characters in TLD. The mod is great otherwise, but given the nerfs on mounted combat in this mod, a character that can't use a bow is basically useless in battle...

Nvm, figured it out. Apparently you can also have your shield equipped in this mod while shooting arrows, and that drops your archery skill ~50%. Putting my character's shield away did the trick.

They added that with the latest patch. I'm not a fan of it.
I wonder if it also affects troops, because if yes, it would would have quite a negative effect on some elven archers.

Of course it does not affect troops.

But I like not being a pin cushion.

Put away your shield when shooting your bow, or invest in shield skill to reduce the accuracy penalty.

That's not that big of an issue, the big issue is when I switch weapons if the shield is "too big" your character decides now's the perfect time to fisticuff the orc horde and pulls out NO weapons while also dropping the shield.

It's quite annoying, it's an extra scroll you have to do every single time you switch weapons because of it and one more scroll to pull out the shield again. 3 scrolls you have to do vs the 1 you had to in vanilla which remembered if you had the shield out even on a 2h/1h weapon. Those extra scrolls add up very fast in a battle.

Oh, and companions always keep the shield on if they can.

I didn't really mind the delay when testing it. Also, going to fists only happens when you equip the shield qhile wielding a bow, not when straight moving to the next weapon.
However, I added a few extra triggers that should emulate the native behavior. Try the latest nightly patch.
