I can't find any information on what the Archery skill do.
It seems a higher skill does not effect damage, nor do my char hit more often. What is the effect of raising the Archery skill?

Is there a multiplyer for light, medium and heavy weapons?
The damage stats are all the same. Light swords do 2-6 damage, and so do medium swords. What is the benefit of medium weapons?

It is a bit esoteric. I still haven't figured it out and I think some of the game is still broken. I think increasing the arrow stats only allows you to equip better bows without penalty. I have only found 4 different bows and none of them are that good. They need some ice/fire arrows or something. As for damage as you increase your strength you will notice your damage points go up once your past 25. When you strike opponents you will notice the 2-6 weapon doing more damage depending on your strength. I haven't found anything that helps bows or throwing weapons. That is something that should be fixed in later patches. I have read that for magic increasing magic skills does improve and putting points in intelligence first before increasing magic skills makes it cheaper. I haven't had much success with magic yet.

Parry doesn't seem to be working in ver 1.3 putting points in agility will raise it a little bit at a time.

There are some heavy weapons in the game that kick ass but I have played the complete game with only medium dual weapons. Duel medium weapon does not work in the off hand in ver 1.3.

There are other things as well.

I thought that when I raised archery skill I tended to hit more often. That is just my feeling and no scientific study to back it up.

There is a bow that requires a skill level of 11 to shoot. It has a little flame that burns the target when it hits, but it still does not do much damage. I agree, there needs to be some ice or fire arrows are something because the bows are kind of weak.

There are some medium weapons that do much better damage, and even heavy weapons that do even more damage. There real advantage or increase in damage comes from increasing your strenght. You get 1% damage bonus for every point over 25 in Strength.
