There are no less than thirty types of bows circulating Skyrims dastardly dungeons several of them only found in very specific locations. Bethesda didnt just reskin the same asset over and over and slap an Elder Scrollsian name on each one. Like all the weapons in Skyrim, these are hand-sculpted, with tessellation and depth that show of their ancient Tamriel designs in all their 3D glory, but aesthetic authenticity isnt the only thing they have going for them. We were partial to the drainspell bow. As a ghostly, transparent spirit-weapon, it weighed next to nothing, but shot with all the power of your average, upper mid-range bow. Pound for pound, this option was a beast. Careful - if you put it on a weapon rack, it might fall through, but we dont think thats a glitch. It is a ghost bow. In The Elder Scrolls games, the weight of each bow determines the amount of damage they deal. A heavier bow made of dragon bone might take a Saber Cat out in one shot, but a lighter and faster Zephyr will obviously allow you more chances to fire in a shorter period of time. You can of course enchant your bows, drink stat-boosting potions and generally upgrade your archery skill, each yielding unique advantages in combat. Well never forget blasting reanimated skeletons apart, with slow-motion killcams and scattering bone-physics, nabbing our bloody arrows from fresh corpses, getting low for a little extra power, and of course shooting a dragon out of the sky.
