Because Shik noted that the "warbow" did not exist, and found a nice model for the Rus bow.
I like the new model, personally.
I also find it fitting that I started with an Archery post, and here is an Archery post at the end. <3
I really don't mean to single you out or anything, especially since your stating someone else's opinion.
I just wanted to say that I've never fully understood this viewpoint. I seriously doubt that anyone
playing this game knows every singe medieval weapon that did or did not exist. If the model doesn't
look out of place, does it honestly break the illusion for anyone?
Wouldn't it be better to focus on greater variety and enjoyment, rather than worrying about some
inevitably flawed representation of history? Crpg is never going to be fully accurate. And if it was I doubt
anyone would play it anymore.
I guess the way I see it is as long as everything fits within a style and doesn't look out of place it isn't
restricting anyones enjoyment. But I can ALWAYS be wrong, that's just how I see it.
And I realize a lot of people do care about very high realism. I just don't really understand it after a point.
I hope I didn't sound angry or anything, I'm glad you posted and I certainly can see where people of that
viewpoint are coming from. It's just that when something is so inherently imperfect why do we have to
pretend it's not?
