Steam Community :: Explosive Arrows- Fire, Ice, and Shock

KyreanNightblood [author] Dec 23, 2016 @ 6:00pm

Yup. The arrows themselves have their own object type in the creation kit, rigorously playtested to make them balanced (orrrrr.... changing damage when users say they're too powerful; I'm too lazy to playtest).

right got you steel arrows are material not the arrows the self

KyreanNightblood [author] Dec 22, 2016 @ 4:42pm

They only come in one type. Steel arrows are part of making them, but they don't actually have the same properties. Just think of them as another type of arrow, not a trait that can be applied to any type.

dofuss1 Dec 22, 2016 @ 11:28am

is it just for steel arrows or can you have the same effect across all arrow types

My new favorite method of personal transportation in skyrim. 10/10, would explode self again.

I love these arrows. If you need to send a group of enemies flying or make one in particular disappear in a hurry use these arrows. Plus I think they are just powerful enough. I took on a Dragon Priest with them and even with their power it still took a bit of fighting.

How much damage do these do? Do they scale with perks? I hate seeing all those 'OP' and 'Cheat' weapons that just obliterate anything with one hit cause some twelvie found out how to use the creation kit.. sigh

Sometimes you just want to send some Thalmor or bandits flying. It's great fun sneakiing up on a mountainside next to a Forsworn camp and raining down destruction.

these arrow's are so fun to use. In the darkbrotherhood main quest's every time i had to kill someone i used those arrow's to kill every target i mostly use the explosive not realy the lightning and ice and i have real good armor that if i fall from a very hight place i dont loose health or die so sometime's i use them to get down to the bottem of the throut of the world by shooting on under me. keep up the great work and do make more mod's

thiss dont requir dlc right also how do u get the unrelentin force shourt

KyreanNightblood [author] Jan 20, 2013 @ 1:46pm

I actually don't have Dawnguard, and I'm not very likely to get it, so I'd have to put off making explosive bolts until I end up getting the expansion.

neilbert1 Dec 10, 2012 @ 10:11pm

Of course, you can already make exploding bolts in Dawnguard, but they are rather weak compared to your arrows! More powerful exploding bolts could be nice.

neilbert1 Dec 10, 2012 @ 9:42pm

If you ever do any more mods for skyrim, one just like this for crossbow bolts would be perfect!

neilbert1 Dec 10, 2012 @ 9:37pm

I've tried several exploding arrow mods, and your's is the best I've tried - a good balance between power, and ease of crafting (the inferno arrows from the atomic arrow mod are more powerful, but use one firesalt per SINGLE arrow. All the other exploding arrow mods I tried had wimpy explosions. Lastly, being thrown by my own arrow exploding too close was cool - with all the all other mods, being caught in your own explosion had no effect - BORING!). Best of the bunch - good job!!

darisnova Nov 5, 2012 @ 3:20pm

Cool mod. Took me a few too many times to remember to stand AWAY from my target before shooting, but hey, it was a hilarious learning experience. Do you think you could bring some of this to Crossbow bolts?
note: sorry if it already exists and this comment seems lazy for not looking :/

KyreanNightblood [author] May 24, 2012 @ 4:23pm

I think I figured out the issue with the ice arrows! Apparently, I had forgotten to change the created object to ice arrows, so it was basically saying there was a second recipe for fire arrows, and the game didn't like this. Along with now supporting Lightning Arrows, I have fixed that. Kony, you should now be able to create ice arrows.

KyreanNightblood [author] May 22, 2012 @ 5:45pm

I'm so glad you enjoy it!

Raptor Rachel May 20, 2012 @ 6:18pm

Wow, thank you so much for this mod. I killed a dragon with three arrows (with the help of some guards of course ;D). This is by far one of the coolest mods ever, and it makes me laugh because of that moment's pause right before it blows them up.

KyreanNightblood [author] May 19, 2012 @ 4:03pm

I've tried to make a merchant- believe me, I've tried. I can never get the dialogue to work right. I after I found that out, I decided that, because these are a specialty item, the frost/fire salt ingredients are good to prevent them from becoming world-breaking.

benjaminianwatson May 19, 2012 @ 6:50am

It would be good if you could add a merchant that sells them - saves me finding loads of fire/frost salts. :D

MrBlack May 17, 2012 @ 11:38am

P.S. if by summer time noone creates a mod for the arrow with an explosive end, i'll take it up on myself :) i've got uni for now so i'm quite busy but if by summer time noone decides to do it i can :)

MrBlack May 17, 2012 @ 11:35am

Kony is this arrow mod the only "crafting" mod you have?

KyreanNightblood [author] May 13, 2012 @ 10:23am

I have no idea why that would be... if anyone else has this problem, please, tell me about it.

Space Muslim May 13, 2012 @ 1:27am

yeah your arrow mod is the only arrow mod i have. my game crashes when i choose to craft them

KyreanNightblood [author] May 11, 2012 @ 6:32pm

I'm sorry, I can't help you unless you give me more details. What were you doing when it crashed? Are you sure it was my mod? I tried to make it as pure and simple as possible to avoid conflicts and crashes.

Space Muslim May 11, 2012 @ 2:30am

good mod but i cant use the frost arrows. it just makes the came crash

KyreanNightblood [author] May 6, 2012 @ 10:09am

Unfortunately, I don't have any way to make a new model for it... If anyone is able to make a model like jhnnystrns suggests, I'll add it to the mod and give you credit!

JohnnyStarnes May 5, 2012 @ 8:38am

if you could make the same idea for the arrow, but a different model, like an arrow with a leathersack at the end (somehow "holding" the explosive), i could point this at a more realistic sense for a mod. just suggesting, i havent seen the other one yet but i like this one. :D

KyreanNightblood [author] Apr 30, 2012 @ 5:21pm

Aw, thanks! That makes me feel good!
