Where is the Bow / Gun Crafting?

[CryptoFace]

Also where is the cooking? We have spices but no cooking recipes. we have animal parts that say they are used for making a bow but, no ability to craft bows guns or crossbows?

cooking is in, its the pan next to the fire, as for bows and armour i hope the ability comes to craft our own.

i know i can cook meats but there isnt actual recipes or usage of spices. atleast from what ive seen, all i can do is just cook the meat, but no seasoning. Cooking is kinda lame tho so i can live without it, love the alchemy and blacksmithing tho. Just wanted to craft bows and gujns myself too

Yeah, it is a total shame. Also that we cannot do armor.

Cooking could be like alchemy, put stuff in a pot, put a lid on it, stoke the fire, add spices, etc

Henry's training is as a blacksmith with a specialty in blades. Armorsmithing was an entirely different (and guild-regulated) craft; and of course boyers worked in wood and organic materials. Might as well object that a plumber can't build a wall.

could be the DLC for becoming the master blacksmith in the city will cover it

As the guy before me said, this is a rather zoomed in RPG about Henry; a blacksmiths son specialized in swords (Keep in mind weaponsmiths and armorers are separated even between NPCs). Making bows, armor, guns, thats just not something you can do as Henry. This isnt an rpg with create-a-character that can learn everything.

And with that being said, the games take place over a couple of weeks, the reason they added weaponsmithing to Henry is because hes just "relearning" what his dad taught him over years. You cannot learn to switch from weapons to armor in two weeks. Not possible

Was sad cooking wasnt added though

Henry is a blacksmith, making armor requires an armorsmith whereas making weapons requires a weaponsmith, which Martin was. Armor is far more complicated and labour intensive compared to making a sword, most blacksmiths in these times spent their days making nails and hinges for peasants, those that could craft weapons were typically quite wealthy and worked directly under a lord, which Martin did, there was even a hint that he had quite the backstory as it was remarked that his skill was great enough to work in Prague.

Making bows are a different art entirely to blacksmithing, requiring an entirely different knowledge base requiring extensive knowledge of woodworking.
When it comes to gunsmithing, there's only a single person in the entire game who makes firearms, they're a relatively new technology at the time so there's no way Henry would know how to make them.

Those are the lore reasons, in reality it would of just taken a lot of time and effort to create the systems for all of these, especially armorsmithing. This's one of the faults of trying to be too immersive, as with something like Skyrim it just happens in a menu, here you go through the motions in real time.
