The first weapon that I have always made is a Crossbow. To say I was deadly accurate with it is an understatement. Once I had the crossbow, I felt invincible. I was so good, I could hit moving targets from several hundred feet away...
And now...Now I just used 15 bolts to kill one panther, that was less than 50 feet away. I was never quite sure whether I had hit him, however, I am quite sure that the bolts were not at all flying where they used to, in relation to where the crosshairs are. It is not too harsh to say that the crossbow has been ruined.
Still love this game, but wow, did that ever lower my chances of survival!!!
