Will Rogues be able to use crossbows or just bows?

Damnit BioWare, answer this question! I've been posting in way too many threads that had the same question in them and all without answer. Us crossbow-fans can not be ignored like this! /wrists

Well, considering that both Sebastien and Varric are rogues, and they wield a bow and crossbow respectively. I would say its definitely probable that rogues will be able to use both.

Do you actually have any proof for the crossbows? I've seen confirmations on bows only, sadly. I'd really like to see some actual crossbow screenshots or confirmation by a developer on this. Other than seeing Varric use it, that is.

(I think) the devs have confirmed it. Give me some time and I'll find you proof.

Edit: Looks like I'm wrong. Image IPB

I suspect no, crossbows don't exist except for Varric and NPCs. Maybe they couldn't figure out how to balance crossbows' stats for generic use...

I recall a dev saying NO CROSSBOWS cept for Varric and every1 else uses normal bows. Too lazy to find thread, but it said somethin like 'crossbows for rogues'.

Rogue Archer Hawke uses normal bows, as does Sebastian. The same bow abilities are shared between Varric, Sebastian, and Rogue Archer Hawke.

But that's the same post you read and responded to before, why is it this time so much more convincing?

I added dramatic effect, in the hopes that some BioWare developer comes swooping in on his white horse and tells me "Haasth, do not worry. There will be crossbows for Hawke. *insert really awesome crossbow picture*" and I shall fall inlove... With the crossbow, not the developer. 

Exaggarating always gets you more, after all.

And so the black pit opened up and swallowed my dreams of cool, crossbow-wielding, Dirty Harry style Hawke.



Dammit, Bioware, I want to fire six bolts or only five.

I find it a really odd choice to do that though, I mean... Alright, I can understand if they felt they weren't different enough or something (And they are quite different, but perhaps they couldn't be arsed making them different enough...). But can't they at least make crossbow models and just classify them as bows? Like they're doing with those swords which are classified as daggers? Come on now..

I'm waiting... I'm waiting... They won't disappoint I'm sure... :unsure:

Possibly they wanted to make Varric unique? I hope not, or I am going to hate that guy.

Hawke: *Slaps Varric*
Varric: What the hell was that for?
Hawke looks at her hand, a confused expression on her face.
Hawke: I... I'm not sure... Hey, cool crossbow.

Bah, if that is the case Varric can have a fun time explaining Cassandra about that one night my Hawke snapped and ran off with Bianca, his crossbow. Possibly naked and cackling maniacly.
