No x-bows

Good people of the Imperial City!


I was really hoping they would have added crossbows for the remaster. Especially since Morrowind has it.

I really wanted Spears and Crossbows. It is nonsensical for a medieval society to not have both.

you need to learn what remaster means then. If they weren't in base game, logically they wouldn't be here

Crossbows kind of hold a pretty interesting spot in the world, as with irl lore, they were banned by the Church at least regarding their usage towards fellow Christians and I find Bethesda ran with this. This translates them being mostly associated with vampire hunters (Skyrim) and Daedra hunters (eso Fighter's Guild) in TES. They're devices with the purpose to be used against those who are the antithesis of the Divines, though most notably Arkay.

That said, vampires are still significant and common in Oblivion, and even Necromancers are a prominent issue, I wouldn't put it passed me if Archmage Traven authorized Witchhunters to use crossbows to help annhiliate necromancers entirely.

I'm less familiar of their position in TES:III, but dunmeri culture is vaaaaastly different than most of Tamriel's to begin with.

Even from a lore perspective, no reason not to have them.

Damn, I've stalked M'aiq like crazy in Skyrim, but here... This sentence is a new to me, despite I liked to listen to him even in OG.
Awesome.
Really like this guy. Especially he is a god, right?
People say that each game has its own interation of M'aiq.

I think it's always the same person. He just might be a twisted Tom Bombadil. ^^
