About this mod
The Huntsman bow's upgrades literally does not do what it says it does. This mod is meant to fix the Huntsman in a way that isn't game breaking (hopefully).
UPDATE 1.1: toned down the speed of the bow overall. Upgrade 4 is appx equal to Zephyr, being slightly weaker, but faster firing. Upgrade 5 is appx equal to the Dragonbone Bow in DPS
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
To Do:
* mod compatibility
* add optional "greatbow" mode with very slow fire rate
*adjust permissions to reflect original authors' intent
In the mod The Huntsman SE, a port of InsanitySorrow's The Huntsman from LE, there are many upgrades that do not match up with what the description text says AT ALL. For example, the first upgrade, the Leather Wraps, says that it increases fire rate, when it actually makes the bow draw slower (.86 > .8). I understand that it's to be in line with the rest of the bows in the game, where stronger bows fire slower, but it just doesn't sit right with me that the descriptions are literally just incorrect. This mod is a tweak to the stats of the huntsman to make it less of a high damaging, slow firing weapon, as we already have plenty of those in vanilla, and more of a weaker, high rate of fire battle bow that can actually contend with stronger bows.
The changes are as follows
VERSION 1.1
I also added an alternate "Greatbow" version. This fires VERY slowly to start, but level 0 starts at Dwarven bow level damage. Changes are as follows:
The damage decreases were to try to balance the sheer speed of the bow. The Long Bow and Zephyr are the fastest firing bows in Skyrim and this one nearly matches both after the first upgrade. 13 base damage (at max rank) is equivalent to an Elven Bow. With these changes, I feel comfortable now knowing that I'm getting the stats I'm asking for and that it's also not completely overpowered.
