Have you found that the marksmanship in Oblivion is unrealistic?

The arrows move so slowly you can SEE them midair. It's like shooting an arrow through water...
The hangtime is actually crazy, and forget about shooting an arrow any distance above 50FT...

I don't know if you've ever shot a bow in real life, but this ain't it.
I'm fixing that, and I've had a headache for 14 days figuring this out.

This mod does a few things:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✅ - Requires ZERO additional downloads ✅
✅ -Increases flight speed of arrows ✅
✅ -Retroactively reduces arrow droop ✅
✅ -Increased Marksman leveling speed ✅ 
✅ -Fixes some bugs hidden within the string tables causing arrows to be LESS EFFECTIVE than they should be ✅
✅ Each string has been hand crafted. ✅ 

Notably, this has only ever been done in broken GSL mods that cause conflicts, or Anvil.ini edits. NOW, presented in one easy .esp installation.
This took some work in both TES Construction and XEdit to pull off... So I truly hope you enjoy. <3
Each string is hand crafted, one by one, for your pleasure. No file conflicts. no bugs. Includes fixes from UORP as well.
So no issues with redacted changes. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
::INSTALLATION::

-Simply add the ESP file to your "\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\data" file path
-Be sure to edit your plugins file to include "ImprovedArchery.esp" *last in load order* 

As always, I recommend Turpentine for useful bug fixes, QOL, and NL-Tag removal. (It's a great mod)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
::UNINSTALLATION::

-This mod can be removed at any time with no issues at all

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
::UPDATE::
Altar.ini edit to allow further distance to arrow shots has been added under "Updates".
I wanted to stay away from INI edits to preserve the ability to mod each type of ammunition, but this is separate and unaffected by my esp file :) 

This allows you to be able to shoot 7.5X further before the arrow "doesn't do anything anymore." 

Must be manually installed to:
"\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\Windows"
Copy/drag the file over and overwrite Altar.ini OR copy the change data if you know what you're doing and have other Altar mods.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
::Future Plans::

-Each arrow will have its OWN setting based off of aerodynamics - WORK IN PROGRESS

-The heavier or "un-aerodynamic" the arrow is, the slower it moves and the more droop it has. This will be released for V2.0.

-Arrows that move very quickly and are lightweight will have "lightning speed" and "lightning effects", etc. VS Heavy arrows that may "encumber" an enemy but move much slower. Planned for V3.0
