Probably worth mentioning that Dawnguard is not free DLC. Althought, you can still get them with mods, if you're playing on a PC. SysDragon SysDragon 5, 5 5 gold badges 40 40 silver badges 84 84 bronze badges.
Most mods still require Dawnguard though, for the best functioning crossbows. Non-Dawnguard crossbow mods work more like a staff. There are only four types of crossbow but all of them can be forged, whereas many bows cannot be forged.
Furthermore, all crossbows benefit from either Steel or Dwarven smithing perks, whereas not all bows benefit from smithing perks. Those that do not benefit from smithing perks cannot be upgraded past "Flawless" quality without a potion or enchantment that improves smithing.
Enhanced crossbows can still be enchanted. If combined with the Extra Effect perk, it is possible to have up to three effects at once. By the time a kill camera is finished, the crossbow will have already reloaded itself ready to fire. This is because crossbows do not need to be manually drawn. Faster recovery after falling, unlike normal bows which must be nocked and drawn again. These bolts cannot be purchased if the Dragonborn later sides with the Volkihar Clan. Crossbows reload slower than it takes to knock and draw bows.
In comparison, the weight of bows range from 5 to The Dragonborn may be briefly vulnerable to melee attack during reload, since reloading cannot be cancelled and it is impossible to run. This can be avoided if the Dragonborn keeps moving and bashes with the crossbow. Crossbows have a shorter default arc range than a standard bow, sometimes requiring the wielder to aim higher.
Because holding down the block control is not required for bashing, Stamina can be drained quickly. There are only up to four types of crossbows to choose from whereas there are a wider variety of bows. Bolts cannot be purchased from anywhere other than Fort Dawnguard. Only Dawnguard members and, for Dwarven bolts , Dwarven Spheres drop them upon death. They may be looted in Dwarven ruins but the overall quantity is small. Bolts become available for crafting only during the quest " Ancient Technology.
Crossbows can only be forged at Fort Dawnguard, whereas standard bows can be crafted at any blacksmith forge, with the prerequisite perks and smithing materials.
Crossbows can only be purchased at Fort Dawnguard, whereas standard bows can be purchased from many merchants. Fired bolts are less likely to be retrievable than arrows, even with the Hunter's Discipline perk. Bolts are much smaller than arrows, meaning that ones that miss a target may either be difficult to find or more easily clip through geometry and gaps in the cell.
Unenchanted steel bolts deal 10 and Dwarven bolts deal 14 , whereas the damage from arrows range from 4 not including Practice Arrows to By using the best arrows, high-end damage bows may offset the damage bonus of crossbows per shot, albeit only slightly.
However, explosive bolts are significantly easier to acquire than the highest damage arrows and can negate this advantage in damage, but the extra damage of exploding bolts is fixed, subject to the target's magic and elemental resistance, and does not benefit from sneak attack multipliers.
Dwarven Crossbow. Dwarven metal ingot. Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow. PC Movement while having a crossbow loaded will occasionally slow movement even though the fire command is not being held.
To the left is the path to continue the quest. After going left there will be a room and a lever to lower a bridge from the first room where you encountered two guards. Two more guards will walk across the bridge and talk about how they thought the bridge is not supposed to be lowered.
Take out the two guards and cross the bridge. In the next room you will see a treasure chest that is marked with a quest marker through a hole in the wall. Rounding the corner there will be a bandit guard waiting outside the door. Take out the guard and loot his pockets to pick up the key for the room.
Unlock the door, grab the schematics and then you will have a choice. You can just leave the cave, but why waste all the good bandits in here? I decided to move forward into the next room. There is three bandits hanging around in different areas of this waterfall ridden room. There is also a treasure chest as you are leaving. You can either jump down or go inside the room on the West part of the catwalk overlooking the waterfall. Pick up some goodies and you can leave Embershard Mine.
