please add traditional japanese longbow and quiver

[Móðsognir]

I'd like to see the martial art of Kyudo added. The tall off center longbow, the highly stylized form, and if the character is also in the hold stance, perhaps change to kneeling or sitting position. maybe hold would add a little bow precision too, much like how block adds defense skill. This would be a different weapon than just a crossbow reskin. as different as all the other weapons are from each other. Where a crossbow is more powerful in range, hit and armor penetration a bow might be higher in accuracy, faster reload time, low weight and quieter for those of use that like to stealth snipe. Maybe even ammo types with different effects. specialty arrows for blunt damage for example when you just want to KO someone.

I would also suggest that a quiver on the back be a part of the bow model and not a seperate object in bag slot or belt. Maybe a new cloth hat too.

A bow is more accurate than a crossbow?
And a bow is quieter than a crossbow?

Also, Tooth Pick has, at best, 1.25 sec reload time. How much faster would the bow be?
Not to mention the strength requirements for firing the bow multiple times consecutively and fast.
Or the skill requirement to be able to fire it accurately, especially if you're going to be fast with it.

Really, there would be very little reason to pick a bow over a crossbow. You'd mostly do that simply because you like bows, even if the crossbow would be the better option.

Though, this game is focused on melee combat, so adding a variety of ranged weapons is not really the direction that we should expect this game to take.

Yes, there are good reasons that you see archery competitions more than crossbow competitions. They are more accurate and required more skill compared to a crossbow. And have you ever seen or heard a crossbow compared to a longbow? A longbow is near silent. the difference in sound is huge when you get to the more powerful crossbows. And a crossbow takes much longer to load in real life as you must cock them between each shot, using both hands and sometimes even your foot. I wasn't asking for as many different types of ranged weapons as there are melee weapons, I was only saying bows would have different functions and stats like the melee weapons. And it isn't about picking any one weapon over others, it's about having variety to fit different applications. Having a weapon that with enough skill would allow you to KO at range is just very useful. So one bow type (longbow), with different specialty ammo types to include a blunt arrow is what I'm suggesting. I have no problem with ranged weapons being affected by agility, strength or even athleticism. I'd leave that to the developer to decide. Currently I see crossbows in game literally one shotting limbs off. A single longbow is a reasonable feature request and Kyudo perfectly blends with the japanese theme of ninjas, samurai and martial arts. And yes, I like bows. I like swords and maces too. I also like horseback riding and parachuting but I'm not asking for those. so what's your point about "simply because you like bows"? Was that supposed to be some disqualifying factor? Seem like you're just in a mood to be unreasonable.

bows will not be added officially.
For that you will need Modders, like the link i posted above. its the first Bow a modder has made for the game.

This was one of the mods i was looking for.

This modder also made the creepy fogman crawling mod.
