Description
This was inspired by Great Grey Owls and the fact that they share some characteristics with Drow. They hunt at night and their flight is silent. They also live in cold regions and forests. And you don’t want to get under their talons.

Hello

Thanks for all the support and feedback.

Uploaded a new in game footage of the 2 Handed Hold of the crossbow animations using Drow's new model (cape/cowl split). I hope you find these better than the old 1 Handed hold. Please leave feedback again if you find this is better or if you have any suggestions =).

For those who still prefer bows. I have submitted a bow version of this crossbow earlier. Please check it out too! I know it was a great jump from the default bow to a crossbow.

I made this crossbow hoping to achieve a balance. I wanted something new and different , at the same time I didn't want to hurt Drow's look and feel. It was my first modelling attempt, check some part of the process here[imgur.com]

I'll check any criticism in the comments on the model/textures and I'll try to rework any parts if needed.

You can find the old video here
