DAO didn't have them, and now DA2 doesn't have them aswell. I don't know why, it really irks me alot. It's the first thing I noticed in the new Exiled Prince screenshots on the Dragon Age 2 official webpage.

Look up the definition of hate. You aren't using it right.

Because maybe they don't want to have to animate the strings? That could be 50 hours of useless work since I think people don't really care

Aversion might be a good word.

I prefer apathy, since that's how I feel.

Pretty much... waste of time and resources. Show me an RPG with bowstrings!

This. Why waste time getting bowstrings right when you can spend the time making something else awesome?

Bowstrings are so overrated anyway. All bows in Thedas are magic - simple B)

I honestly never noticed this in origins-witch hunt on my Bow pc. I only first noticed it on the forum. I don't really think it's something too major.

Because they don't care about their existing fanbase and want to appeal to a new bowstring-hating audience.

Ok, search "Oblivion bows" on google under the images tab.

The most overrated RPG ever and Fable? Yeah, you convinced me. ALL bows should have bowstrings!

If you want bowstrings go buy a real bow. Why do you need your virtual character to have strings that you can barely see anyways.

Oh, and Bianca has strings. So just... play as varric.

I find it funny reading replies by some fans defending Bioware's decision at all cost without having the slightest clue as to how much resources it would actually take to make bowstrings.

It's somewhat immersion-breaking when you zoom in. It can't be that hard to animate.

You can always use your ~imagination~ and have the best bow strings in the world.

Even runescape.. a flashbased browser MMO has bow strings, there really is no excuse for it no matter what reason you come up with.
