Fantastic mod! Being an archer in the real world, the nerf arrows of Oblivion drove me nuts. The 250% is actually pretty close to what a 30-ish pound bow would do. Excellent work.
Do you have a 30lb bow whit rocket arrow or a rifle? Because at 250% the arrow is much faster than my 70lb compound... 300/320 fps is the max speed for bow. But 30 lb standard bow the speed is 200fps mx 250 whit very light arrow.
It simply does what it say, and it's perfectly working on both player and NPC.
Now arrows are really faster and archery is way more realistic and unjoyable. I set it on 175%, it's not as fast as in real life but it's balanced with Oblivion Vanilla gameplay. It's perfect.
Arrow in the real life are not so speed...it's an arrow not a bullet....ok in vanilla game is too slow respect the real life but....The arrow speed is usually 200/300 km/h (200-300 fps) depends on arrow weight and the power of the bow....but 300 is the speed for 70lbs modern compaund bow....medioeval bow are not so fast... I have an artesan-made english long bow and a mongol composite-bow and whit wooden arrow (wery light) i think is at the best 1,5 time the speed of vanilla oblivion. I've try to shot a quality woden arrow (medioeval style) whit my 70lb compaund-bow and the arrows broke like an esplosion 5/7 feet ater the shot...whitout impact anything.
You won't need this, and can save one ESP slot, if you're using Wrye Bash. When you rebuild a bash patch with Wrye, there's a setting in the Tweaks, which allow you to set the arrow and magicka speed.
I don't know how to install this? There was no readme file in the archive. Manually put whichever esp I want in data file? Or use OBMM but only on 1 esp file or OBMM the whole archive and then I can check box of which esp I want?
A longbow has excellent range. It does not get excellent range by accelerating an arrow at a snail's pace, they go freaking fast. For the game, 200% is a little much, 150 seems about right though. Thanks for allowing to remain lazy and not do this myself

Huge thanks !

However, is this mod made unnecessary if you use Wrye Bash?
