Looks Like Ranged Combat is back on the menu boys!

Game throws many casters at you early and the classes with some range options are reigning supreme in early game. Wondering if you can do a true hybrid Bow/Sword build as bows always seemed meh in Elder Scrolls.

Plus the Magic looks great in this game, I might go Radiant/Fire with a mix of Melee for a pure Battlemage.

I heard bows are viable and that a ranged option is recommended at least as a secondary... I'm probably gonna do exactly that. Might even try main bow with a melee back up.

All the spells i saw made me question my vow of beating every first playthrough of an Soulslike with only melee....

.. then i hit myself in the face with a Club.

Now that I think about it... I might try just going full bow build. At least that way I don't have to hear DING... DING... DING every time I start smacking mobs. Has to be the worst decision they made having that sound effect.
