- 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.

- 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
