Bow Accuracy

[Stephan]

Would it be possible for the Exult Team to improve missile weapon accuracy? We have all heard of Iolo's exploits with the triple crossbow, and frankly, missile weapons are pretty much useless in both BG and SI, which is a shame. I would even go as far as calling the horrible archery accuracy in U7 a bug, since it is quite obviously not balanced enough. A tweak would be great, if it can be pulled off nicely.

I've also noticed that arrows and bolts seem to pour from the people shooting them. I've seen three arrows on the screen at the same time from the same source. Was it always like that? I don't recall.

[MV]

Iolo always had the tendency to stand behind the weakest or most damaged party characters when he fired his triple crossbow with magic bolts..........

[Stephan]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'd like to see a lowered chance of your own missile weapons hitting party members.

[suraimu]

I don't think that particular problem is a bug with archery insomuch as a
bug with Iolo lacking a brain.

[Tim]

I have actually noticed that missle weapons hit my party members less with Exult than I remember in the original.

Yea, Exult is weak the other way: I'm pretty sure missiles only hit the party they're aimed at.
