Bows and arrows

i don't feel like a little bit or "less lethal" projectiles would really be a downer on the game espically with the erratic movments of the bunnies.

i don't think the game is really that oriental focused , i mean just look at the sword , that is not an oriental sword (lugaru 1 refrence) So i don't think shurikens would fit... especially not 6 (reminds you that lugaru 1 had you carrying a maximum of 2 daggers at once one unequiped one in hand)

speaking of one equiped one in hand! ta da! quiver takes up "unequiped" slot , bow takes up "in hand" slot. having done archery, a NORMAL quiver holds about 12 arrows, max.

I imagine pithy-little wooden arrows which would be incapable of killing but would do decent damage if undetected and basic damage detected.

OK , don't be an ass i'm just expressing my opinion, yes i realise arrows do alot of damage RL but my idea was based on the best interests of the game , which is a meele focus.

I think everyone would appreciate it if you stopped posting until you got a new keyboard. or maybe use _ instead of =

As far as I know, historically bows and arrows were never used in one-on-one combat. They have a very slow rate of fire, are difficult to aim, and are not always instantly lethal even if you do get a direct hit. Furthermore, holding a bow impairs one's ability to defend oneself in melee or to run away.

Thus, I think realistically implemented archery wouldn't have much of an effect on gameplay because using a bow would generally be a bad idea.

I think that is a logical and well-enforced point he/she makes. I would agree with it.

I would too, if I were your mom. Zing.

Seriously, though, yeah, it's pretty cool. Like your mom.

Ouch, man, I mean...I know I'm not the nicest guy in the world, but that really hurt. I'm gonna go wander the streets now, and think about how lonely and desolate my life is.
