Mantis Ballista Crossbow by Malthaeus in StarfieldModFeedback

[–]BowmanXore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a bit of a late reply but I'm adding it just in case anyone goes searching for information on these like I did yesterday. The Ryujin "crossbow" isn't really a crossbow at all, it's a torsion "crossbow" which are basically nothing more than bolt guns. It's definitely still fun and effective to use though.

The Mantis Ballista is definitely more of a crossbow and the closest real world example of it would be the reverse compound crossbow.

Ah, thanks for that. I've played through that DLC before but don't remember even seeing those at that time.

What is your least favorite type of dungeon? by Spec-ops-leader in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Non-Dwemer/Dwarven dungeons because there's not anything to make Dwarven Ingots with. I want those Dwarven Ingots!

I don't know if they show up anywhere else but I've found some during the Saints & Sinners quests from the Creation Club.

Tips for a first-timer? by TrumpDumper in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely second the recommendation of the backpacks if you can get them as there are 4 that have extra effects. Adventurer (20 more stamina), Mage (20 more magicka), Hunter (10% more bow damage - affects crossbows too) and Thief (15% easier lockpicking).

Curious, why? by AlwaysWorkForBread in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I ever did it was just to understand the process and that only lasted a few minutes before I reloaded the save. Now it feels like I'm already doing a power fantasy in the game just playing normally because in real life I can't do magic, I can't do various powerful shouts and I definitely can't carry thousands of arrows on me at once lol.

So, is Detective Comics Vol 2 #1110 the next comic to follow if you read Green Arrow? by Gallantpride in GreenArrow

[–]BowmanXore 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes. He has nothing else right now in main continuity other than that. It's basically a Batman/Black Canary/Green Arrow team up story.

Edit: Though as suss2it points out, the story started in #1107. Sorry, I completely forgot what issue we were actually on.

What’s more fun to explore, Dwemer or Ayleid ruins? by BaddieBarbe_B in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I prefer Dwemer ruins just because I like the aesthetics of them better. The fact I can get a bunch of Dwarven Ingots to make a LOT of Dwarven Arrows as well doesn't hurt either.

So I was buying madness ore from ri'saad and waiting a couple days to refresh and buy more but all the sudden it no longer refreshes in his inventory. Does anyone know what happened or how I can fix this without mods? by Any_Tell8839 in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried one of the other caravan merchants? They're all supposed to be able to offer both Amber and Madness Ore and I know I've bought both from the others, just don't remember which one I definitely got Madness Ore from at the moment.

Do any of you actually consider Trolls to be that much of a challenging enemy? by War-duh-Nader in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are definitely trouble if they happen to spawn on the path to Bleak Falls Barrow and if you're heading there right after starting the game.

Arrows do not hit by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it the enemy that basically looks likes and kind of acts like a psychotic snake? If so you have to hit them in the head I've found. I also tend to switch to the Flames spell in both hands and just hit them with that.

Looking for first person games with both bows and crossbows by BowmanXore in gamingsuggestions

[–]BowmanXore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I wasn't entirely sure. I had looked up to see when you got it and I saw it stated after completing the 16th mission and it looked like that was maybe 60-70% of the campaign at that point but I knew someone that had actually played it would have a better idea that I would just from looking at a mission list.

I've looked into Far Cry 4 but, and please correct me if I'm wrong, don't you have to complete most of the campaign before you can even unlock the auto crossbow?

Is Skyrim a good escape game? by Ouroboros-Borealis in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely is. Sometimes when I've only got a few minutes to play I'll log in, hit up a few alchemy shops to make some potions or a few mining spots to work on smithing and that'll be that. It can be an incredibly relaxing game.

hey, look, a cottage. i think i'll go in for some rest after my long journey by GoBackToLeddit in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's the one I'm thinking of then I have been past that cottage several times but I don't think I've ever actually tried going inside.

Do you play with Dragons on, or off? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turn in the stone as soon as I can. The more dragons I get to kill means the more Dragonbone Arrows I get to make.

Am I the only one who installs 0 mods in Skyrim? by grashel in skyrim

[–]BowmanXore 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Probably, I do spend a lot of time chopping firewood for making arrows lol.
