Prefer longbows to crossbows

The reason why I prefer longbows is because its fire and reload speed is faster plus its accuracy is higher compared to the crossbow. Furthermore, the damage inflicted by the longbow will remain constant but as for the crossbow, its first shot will be high but will decrease after subsequent shots.

I like using long bows when killing from a far range. I use crossbows for shorter ranged combat.

Hello.

Definatly longbows! Crossbows take ages to reload and by that time your enemies will already strike you a couple of times, and the way I fight I require the maximum speed and minimum reaction time from everything, weapons included.
But if you're sneaking on some enemies and want to have a one-shot-kill weapon you should chose the crossbow.
Oh and if you want to have some good fun I suggest that you try to go to first person view while firing and aim on their head ;) .

Long Bows deffinately no question there is something about taking out an enemy with a bow and some arrows that just makes it much much better

it is almost like your actually hunting down your enemies instead of just shooting them you can go all "elfish" with it and just blast um all besides all the characters use chrossbows in the game why be normal

I just go with Skorm's Bow, the most powerful projectile weapon in the game, and since it's a bow it's fast. Legendary weapons aside, I stick with bows because of the fast rate-of-fire.

Well i actually like fighting with crossbows :) (not that they would be better than longbows tough)

it just makes me feel like an medieval(spell it right?) sniper :D

seeing enemies from far and taking good long aim at then just *Bfoosh* let the bolt just fly to their heads even they can do anything

-it just makes me feel cool :D
but as u said orist fihst making battle with longbows truly makes u feel more "elfish" :P
