- 2. PLAYING THE PLUGIN
- ***********************************************************
- Start Morrowind, select \"Data Files\" from the start screen, and select
- the appropriate .esp for your game and begin playing! To quickly test the bows,
- head to ToddTest, as they are all placed there strictly for testing.
- Xenn\'s Marksman Overhaul.esp-
- This .esp will add the new longbows, short bows,
- and crossbows to Morrowind, as well as tweak the stats of ALL Marksman weapons
- to be more realistic and balanced. It also changes the store chance of projectiles
- to 85% (as opposed to the normal 25%), and adds rarer arrows and thrown weapons to
- existing leveled lists.
- Xenn\'s Marksman Overhaul - Vanilla.esp-
- This .esp will add the new longbows, short bows, and crossbows, but does not change
- any marksman weapons or game settings. The new weapons are also balanced to
- Vanilla Morrowind\'s standards.
- Xenn\'s Marksman Overhaul - Bow Resource.esp-
- This is simply a modders resource with all of the new longbows, short bows,
- and crossbows added to the construction set with vanilla stats. Nothing in-game is
- altered with this .esp! Do not use this unless you are adding the bows to another mod!

With over 1,000 endorsements and 24,000 downloads, it's a popular weapon expansion for archery-focused players. Last updated in 2009, so it's an older mod but still well-regarded.

Over 1,000 endorsements and 24,000 downloads indicate strong community support.
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,040 endorsements and 24,759 downloads — clearly a lot of players trust this mod.
- Adds a solid variety of new bows and crossbows, giving archery builds more options.
- Rebalancing default bow stats means even vanilla weapons get a fresh feel, so it's not just about the new gear.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009 — that's ancient by modding standards, so it might have compatibility issues with modern setups or mods.
- Only adds bows and crossbows — if you're looking for new arrows or other ranged weapons, this won't cover that.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Morrowind players who love archery and want more bow variety without overhauling the whole game. If you're a completionist who wants to collect every weapon, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes beyond weapon stats — this is purely a gear expansion.
