After seeing someone do well as a horseback Crossbowman I decided to try it out. I don't think I was counting on the price of getting there being so high but oh well! It's the only way I can help out and score some kills since I am HORRIBLE at melee combat right now! (I die in single player!)
Someone In-game said that your character's weight affects the accuracy/reload time of Crossbows as well as mount speed? Is this true? Because I am using some Nobleman's armor with the default armor and my draw/accuracy are getting slightly better over time as I level my horseback archery (not sure if crossbows go off of that for mounted) and crossbow weapon Skill (along with weapon master). I tend to get 1 shotted in melee and MAYBE 2 shotted by bows (which fire MUCH faster if I get dismounted) So which armor type should I get and which horse would be best for what I am trying to do? (basically pick off melee from medium/short range and harass calv)
I am saving for the light crossbow (have the hunting) and am using the worst horse known to man (But it gets me from a-b most of the time) I would assume the Arabian or the corser would be best (leaning towards corser for the higher speed) Also does athletics increase crossbow reload time or accuracy at all? Someone said it makes 2 handed weapons swing faster.
Thanks in advance for answering my nooberific questions!
