Description:
Another build idea, and another mod is made. I wanted to give a combat archery build a go and tried to figure out what I could add to encourage the style of gameplay. With these additions I'm sure that archery outside of sneaking will feel far more useful than it used to be.
Contents:
Blood Burst: For 60 seconds, firing arrows at a target in quick succession will cause bleed damage to build up and eventually cause a burst of damage.
I tried to replicate the bleed mechanic from Dark Souls games.
Bow Bash: Bashing with a bow will damage the targets stamina by 15 for 3 seconds. Skill lasts 60 seconds.
Another ability to make an archer less afraid of getting close to an enemy..
Velocity: While moving and not sneaking, you can draw your bow much faster.
Don't just stand there and fire, moving around will allow you to draw your bow like Legolas from LOTR/Hobbit and give you a large advantage against other archers. It's an ability, you will see it under magic effects.
Enhanced Senses: Detect those within 200 feet from you. Bow must be in hand.
A basic lesser power with a different visual. Just threw it in there because it's easy to make.
You will also be able to make arrows at the tanning rack. The material you can make is based on your archery skill, the higher, the more types of arrows you'll have access to. Vanilla arrows now move faster(4500 speed) and are affected by gravity less(0.1). The values are there so you can edit modded arrows to behave the same way.
Ini settings:
C:\Users\*COMPUTERSNAME*\Documents\My Games\Skyrim
If you want to play in third person and have accurate shots, your ini settings should be something like this. The first person shots will not be accurate when you are very close to the target(0-7m), you will need to aim a little higher than your target. When you are further than 7m and firing in first person, shots are accurate.
With my settings, third person archery is very accurate, even from up close.
[Combat]
f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.9
f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.45
f1PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.9
f3PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.45
Here are my third person camera settings. If you find the crosshair too close to the player, increase fOverShoulderCombatPosX.
[Camera]
fOverShoulderCombatAddY=-15.0000
fOverShoulderCombatPosZ=-10.000
fOverShoulderCombatPosX=35.0000
Acquirement:
The Drunken Huntsman and Solitudes Fletcher will sell 4 Archer Journals. Read them to acquire the skills. They are very expensive. It is also possible to add them via console and remove the need to toggle some of the skills.
Blood Burst(perk) and Bow Bash(perk) can be added by searching for the names and adding them to the character directly with Player.Addperk PerkCodeHere. I made them toggleable for easier uninstallation.
Other:
-Requires Dawnguard, Dragonborn.
