Summary
Proficiency from long range eliminates a lot of danger in action RPGs; players can often pick off enemies from a distance through the old-fashioned but lethal bow-and-arrow or modern-day sniper rifles. Recentgames likeHorizon Forbidden Westhave emphasized archery, as Aloy uses the long-range weapons to take down fearsome machines across a futuristic rendition of Earth, but they have been a common feature in the RPG scene for years.Skyrim, a trailblazer in the RPG category with a solid base even a decade after its initial release, contributed immensely to bows' popularity in gaming, arming players with a plethora of options in the weapon type. There are 29 bows inThe Elder Scrolls 5to choose from, discounting console command weapons, and their efficiency levels can differ during gameplay.
Each bow has unique strengths and weaknesses, and some specialize in dealing extra damage to animal enemies, while others are versatile and are capable of harming every type of foe players come across in Tamriel. From common to unique, these items have different tiers of power and can be all the difference in completingSkyrim’s quests.
