Does anybody else find the Eagle Eye perk to be kind of janky?

[wjpower2003]

I've just used my bow and my crossbow for the first time since I got the eagle eye perk and it's horrendous.

It seems as though the bow-sway which was gradually reduced as I increased in strength, agility and bow skill has reasserted itself in a big was and with the zoom, I can only see the end of the arrow which makes it more difficult to actually determine the accuracy of my aim.

I don't want to drink a Lethean potion and spend ages reapplying all my perks just so I can remove one perk. If only the cheat mod on Nexusmods had the full list of perks, but it doesn't yet, sadly. Does anybody else find Eagle Eye janky?

If eagle eye gives you a zoomed in view of course the sway would appear more severe. It's the same concept as with a scope on a rifle or something. You are looking at the target more closely, and thus any deviation on the aim point feels more severe when in actuality the sway is not

I understand that, but my point is that I assumed the whole purpose of the perk was to make marksmanship easier.... unless it's to make marksmanship more challenging. If the latter was the objective then they did a really good job.

Eagle Eye does make targeting easier, but at first the opposite may appear to be the case. The crossbow is never stable, not even with Eagle Eye, but the 'flow' will get slower. You need to get used to that.
Shooting at the range next to Trosky made this clear to me. After getting used to Eagle Eye, my scores improve markedly, after a while.

Yeah, don't listen to these people. It's shіt in its current state. It should be patched. It slows down when it shouldn't, when you are not even aiming yet. It should instead slow down when you're in the right position.
