  • At first: Dawnguard is required!!! Stop asking!
  • This mod adds all crossbows to the game we missed in Dawnguard:
  • Daedric, Dragonbone, Glass, Ebony, Orcish, Elven
  • And some variants of Daedric and Dragonbone...
  • You can forge them everywhere, but the included enhanced versions only if you have finished the dawnguard quests for the enhanced crossbow.

  • Deutsch:
  • Zuerst: Dawnguard ist benötigt!!! Hört auf zu fragen!
  • Diese Mod fügt dem Spiel alle Armbrüste hinzu, die wir bei Dawnguard vermisst haben:
  • Daedra, Drachenknochen, Glas, Ebenerz, Ork, Elfen
  • Außerdem einige Variationen von Daedra und Dragonbone...
  • Alle sind überall herstellbar, aber die ebenfalls enthaltenen verbesserten Versionen sind nur nach Beenden der Dawnguard Quests für verbesserte Armbrüste möglich.
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Updates:
  • 1. 1. 2 Fixed Exploding Bolts, Added Recipe for normal vanilla crossbows, Added collection in quasmoke
  • Explodierende Bolzen gefixt, Craftingrezepte für normale vanilla Armbrüste hinzugefügt, Collection wieder in die quasmoke hinzugefügt
  • 1. 1. 1 Exploding Bolts again implemented / Explodierende Bolzen wieder eingefügt
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Deutsch:
  • Nach einiger Zeit nun endlich ein Update! Frohe Weihnachten!
  • Nicht nur die Beschreibung wird aufgeräumt, auch die Mod:
  • Ich habe die komplette Mod noch einmal fein sortiert überarbeitet, sodass wie ich hoffe weder Sprachfehler, noch Crafting-Fehler oder sonst was auftreten sollten.
  • Außerdem bin ich endlich dem Wunsch der Community nachgekommen und hab in einigen inspirierten Momenten und eingen genervten Copy-Paste-Momenten eine Leichte Daedrische Armbrust hinzugefügt, die nun nicht mehr den gesamten Bildschirm verdeckt.
  • Schaut auch auf Crossbows Revamped von ciedeeh (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21666), meine Armbrüste sind in seinem System mit eingebunden und ich hab in bereits gefragt, die neue leichte daedrische ebenfalls zu implementieren.
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • English:
  • Finally an update! Merry X-mas!
  • The description is cleaned up and the mod, too:
  • I have redone the complete mod very carefully, so there shouldn\'t be any description-, crafting- or any other errors.
  • Also try Crossbows Revamped from ciedeeh (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21666), my crossbows are implemented in his system and I asked him already to implement the new light daedric crossbow as well
