Haven't used a bow yet. You really draw the string with your left hand?

[Mooman]

It's because of the Pip boy on your left arm, would clip the string. But yeah the whole bow thing looks awkward and enough reason I don't like using them either.

Bethesda has no problem with everything clipping into everything. I seriously doubt that's the issue. I mean, I literally clipped into a rock that was already clipping into another rock, and then fell into the void.

I still suspect it's related to how the animation framework is done in Creation Engine right now, related to Skyrim's main hand/offhand system from 2011.

I'd rather it clip. Like the previous post says, tons of stuff clip already.

Yes the master hand is left. I could never played CS with the L/R inverted.

A right handed user will have the bow in the left hand as the drawing hand is the main hand. Makes sense any way you look at it.

That make sense. In the game it's the other way around.

it's because of the Pip-Boy.

Pip boy takes its space on the outside of the arm, the string would fly past the inside of the arm. Even if it did clip, you wouldnt see it anyways, because the animation doesn't even show it.

More likely the designers are clueless.

The problem is that it just looks awkward and is done badly. Most games with a bow have the bow in the left hand are drawing with the right hand so it looks weird when its not like that.

Exactly, but the bow, unlike other weapons, is left handed.

It's mind-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to people who played/play competitive FPS. It's like people playing inverted vs not inverted.

It's also annoying for me, having done archery training for my right-handeness.

how about having the choice. I did archery left handed, it's way easier for me to aim bows over any other game due to the handedness. how about the iron sights you literally can't use.

I could look pass the other stuff but the iron sights is bugging the ♥♥♥♥ out me! Don't see why they can't line it a little better!
