Description
Sorry for my English, i hope you'll understand what I wrote here :)
I made this mod long time ago, when I try to play Skyrim as pure archer for the first time. I found experience to my liking, but vanilla bows... Well, they seemed too plain to me. So I decided to make something fancier. Something more magical, colorful and animated. So these ten fancy bows were created, all based on the vanilla bound bow.
This mod may look obsolete by now, with all that great bows, crossbows and enchanting effects mods around, but I decided to make it a small facelift and upload it on Nexus. Maybe someone will find it useful.
Here is a video review (starting at 5:52), thanks to SgtZodiac aka Porter Hause.
Here is another (start at 3:35), thanks to Chaos_Hellfire.
And the last one (starting at 2:17, lots of 1st person view), thanks to vatiwah
