When I installed the mod, the texts of items and quests are sometimes in English, and sometimes in the language I had Skyrim set to. Weirdly enough, the crossbow and bolts names didn't change language
Isn't that a conflict?

Added bonus that the crossbow now becomes available to all in the game, which not only makes firefights more interesting (always thought it one sided when you have crossbow and other bows), but also helps keep up a steady supply of bolts.

I havent tried out this mod yet but it looks fantastic! After i try it i will tell my thoughts

kden

I haven't changed these recipes. They're just now allowed to be produced at any forge, instead of just the one in Fort Dawnguard. Could I do something else? I could, but I won't. That's not the point of this mod.

pls answer me

i thougth the crossbow was made of iron though... could you add a crossbow that is craftable without any perks, but made entirely out of wood without iron/steel/etc?

Thank you for the quick reply. I will give that a try. If it doesn't work I'll start using nexus lol

Common and known issue with Steam Workshop for every game, as far as I know. It's more likely to happen if you have a very large number of mods. One possible fix is to move several of your mods out of your data folder, unsubscribe, let the loader recognize this, and then move them back. This'll let you keep them while clearing your list. It may very well not work, but I don't know what else will.

Alternatively, all of my stuff is on Skyrim Nexus too.

hmmmm it is not showing up in my load list. I have subscribed. Based on the comments I have no doubt that the mod works but for some reason my game is not loading the mod when I subscribe to it.

could you add a link to the mod files

I mentioned on a recently popular crossbow mod called Faction Crossbows and I have to ask, will this give Crossbows to the appropriate factions or will it just be randomly all over Skyrim? The fact that some spawn with Dwemer crossbows is kinda annoying as it feels like an easy way to get a more OP character. Bolts I would be fine with, just not the entire crossbow.

Crossbows should be a little less common among bandits, soldiers and guards. I've seen like 5 archers since I got this, everyone has a crossbow... seriously, some stormcloak had a crossbow at helgen...

@Charlemagne
They're totally compatible. This mod doesn't actually change any game files. It adds new recipes for crafting items that do use existing perks, but doesn't change those perks themselves in any way.

Dumb question, but is this compatible with your smithing tree mod? I mean since that changes the perks and this requires Steel Smithing and Dwarven Smithing.

Nice!

"100% Conflict Free! Dawnguard required."
Well i dont have Dawnguard so its an Conflict :3

This is how a mod should be ! <3

Simple and perfect. Great job!

Thank you. So much.

Would you be willing to make a version for Ubersmaug's crossbows? They're not too powerful, so they'd be perfect for this. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=125036397

10/10, crossbows from mod that added crossbows and bolts for all crafting material types was integrated perfectly into enemy inventories such as bandits

can you make enchanced crossbows appear on the odd bandit chief or other type? it's a bit unfair and unrealistic they're not that common.. they're just heavier hitting and armr piercing right? why not make them here and there?

cool mod good work

Dawnguard is required to have crossbows even in the game at all. If you attempt to load a file that has a master, but you don't have that master, the game will crash.

whenever i try to load my game i cant play or anything it just crashes so do i need dawnguard or do i have to many mods?

Where do I find the guy who sell the crossbows?

As far as I know I don't. When they use the normal crossbow it's fine, it's just the dwarven crossbow. Maybe make it so normal people don't use that one? It would make more since that only the dawngaurd and dragonborn would have access to Dwarven crossbows anyway, right? Just a thought.

I've never seen that and I'm note even sure what would cause it. Hmm... Have any AI changing mods or things that modify animations?

Hey I have an issue, anyone in the game that trys using a dwarven crossbow is unable to fire it and just keeps bringing up the crossbow as if to fire it. So I uninstalled the mod and it's still there! Please help

Can you find them?

Of course . But once you get Dawnguard , youll be able to make them , not just having to buy them from a special NPC

does it need dawnguard?

hey can you make a mode with more bolts? like dragonbone etc...?

nice, but every guard, imperial and stormcloak has a crossbow... makes doing the civil war quests nearly impossible for a new character on master difficulty

ah ok

Yes, although crafting exploding bolts and enhanced crossbows is still a reward for a Dawnguard quest.

ok so can i craft up front even if i join the vampires ?

I can think of a good reason, I had a mod that added them to leveled lists, and guards were able to destroy me with any crossbow.

buy it cosunshine.dan

how do i get dawngaurd

Nice mod. Added it, because I was fustrated that I had to not use my crossbow until I found the two people in the middle of no where. Cause I used pretty much all the bolts after a couple of bandit raids.

Oh, I see. Ok. Sorry if it seemed like a dumb question.

Yes, of course it does.

Does this require Dawnguard?

I'm not saying they shouldn't. I'm just pointing out the reason in this case as you said you don't know.

And they still are. To be able to make or buy the best stuff you still need to join the Dawnguard. However, crossbows have been in Battlespire, Shadowkey, and Morrowind, plus they were crafted by the ancient dwemer. Their existence for thousands of years and common use for hundreds means that even though the Dawnguard specializes in using them, they should realistically be pretty generally available everywhere.

Just to let you know why they weren't added anywhere else except the fort. When you get to the fort and talk to either the Orc firing a crossbow or the Dawnguard leader they tell you it's a "Dawnguard specialty".
