This all great but I always thought the bows were all too long and wished that there were shorter versions for the stalker/stealth guys. Besides, the damage and distance doesn't change any in reality, but the ability to hold the bow at full draw sure as hell does. Also, how smooth the arrow releases and the action of the bow coming back to static state is very much smoother and quieter with longer bows. So, bow shock or kick is almost non-existent in longer bows making getting back on any target a little easier. I'm 65" tall and love shooting my 50lb- 54" longbow. I often wish it was closer to 48" when hunting. A long way of saying I wish the bows were shorter.
I'm currently working on a port of this mod for SSE. I just got the vanilla, Dawnguard and Dragonborn parts merged. However the leveled lists need to be remade and some fixes are needed. Also I'm tweaking and balancing the stats and making it in-line with WACCF. The perk tree seems to work as is. A complementary patch for Ars Metallica or any other mod that offers smelting recipes is also planned (not needed for it to work, but just so there're also smelting recipes for the longbows). There's also a small incompatibility with WICO, which will also be worked out with a patch.
However don't get your hopes up as I just started modding and this is the 3rd mod I'm working on.
Btw still haven't gotten a response from Grantiz about getting permission to publish it, when it's finished.
I have ported this mod, rebalanced everything and rebuild all leveled list. I would really like to upload this to the nexus, but I still have been unable to reach Grantiz for permission. If anyone knows how to reach him, please contact me.
Is there any hope of this mod being posted still? I fully support trying to get permission from the original author but if he had gone completely dark then it might just be better to post it and offer up as much credit to Grantiz as possible.
A case of "Better to ask for forgiveness than permission." if you will.
during the 'broken promises' quest when you buy the fake daedric longbow, i went to try and continue the quest. the guy just yells NO REFUNDS like he's marcus from borderlands. he then tells me about the mythic dawn museum and how the owner knows of a forge but nothing happens after that. anything i'm doing wrong?
Hi i followed the installation to every detail even got the orders and made sure i checked in right ones in line (even installed ACE to make sure). So why is the longbows still as fast in drawing as the other bows when im using em ? Have been trying to reinstall with other options but no results so far Im Using Archery Gameplay opverhaul, so can it be that one that inflicts the Longbows not being slow or is it something else ive missed ? Mean its the only one i can think of except perhaps Hunterborn or Action Combat may be ? Im bit lost here and hope i can get some solution since i really want this in my collection :)
There is one issue I am trying to get assitance with. I actually use SkyRe, but as I understood, that was Thou who created the longbow part, maybe Thou will be able to assit me with one problem I come across.
Followers both default vanilla as well as custom-made upon being armed with longbows fail to shoot them. They take the arrow, pull the string and then cancel shot. Haven't managed to get them to make a single successful shot. Maybe Thou could give me advice, what settings exactly may affect them, as Draugr, Forsworn and Falmer seem to shoot longbows just fine, yet I am unable to discern, what is that principal distinction in npc behaviour settings.
[EDIT]: Question relevant no longer. Found out, something was messing with NPC AI when they were following.
I know it's been forever, but does anyone have a version WITH the separated crossbow/bow/longbow perks tree WITHOUT the added crossbow weapons and bolts? I highly prefer another mod's bolts and crossbows, but I hate having duplicates. Thanks so much in advance!

Did you manage to solve it?
