If you want bowstrings go buy a real bow.

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

What recent rpgs besides Dragon Age don't have bow strings?

[Elsariel]

It makes them distinguished. Bioware is too smexy for their bowstrings.

Hey, quivers don't get emptied either. People can draw arrows out of a fixed back quiver (love to know how they manage that..,)

Animating a "rope" is one of the worst thing ever. Not only is "rope" complicated to mimic but the clipping problems when the bowstring is drawn would be almost nightmarish.

Or how do you convince the player that the model is actually pulling the cord and it's not just some pre-canned anim.

At the end of the day, you look at your resources, which features to create you have left. And then, you cut things.

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

Every 3D rpg in existance. 

No.

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

This is pretty much exactly what I was gonna say.
I hate ninjas...Bioware hates ninjas.

 Pfft. Stuff the bow strings.

I don't want to see Patriot Arrows.

If they hate ninjas, then why did they turn the rogue class into a ninja?

Good point.

I would actually prefer it that way. I've played tons of RPG's where you didn't have countless arrows in your quiver & you actually (gasp) had to buy them. I somehow made it through.

Zelda in its 16 bit days have bow strings.

DAO didn't have them, and now DA2 doesn't have them aswell.

Weapon models in DA don't carry "skeleton" data which would allow to animate them. Technical limitation.

A cautionary tale of love and hate.....of bowstring





OP doesnt know this and few have in fact know this. Mike Laidlaw's first love was bowstring. Bowstring and Laidlaw were going to have a family one day but they were just teenagers. One day, nefarious Spear told Bowstring that Laidlaw was seen one day with Dagger. Bowstring didnt like that so much and to make Laidlaw jealous, Bowstring started to hang out with Michal Madej (lead designer for the witcher). Laidlaw saw that and got his heart broken by Bowstring.

Ever since the tumultuous affair years gone, Bioware supported Laidlaw in having no Bowstring in DA games and on it is rumored that Spear will never show in DA games as well... That is a tale how I heard it but Im guessing Laidlaw isnt 7 feet tall and can't crush a mans head with one hand.

Even the low-level trash-quality bows in WoW have strings.

And there you have it, you can stop raging now.

And yes, it bothers me.

Bows in Guild Wars 2 won't have strings either. Go on their forums and COMPLAIN! Take a few hours off this forum.

I like to think that Hawke is super strong and tosses arrows with his/her magical fingers ) you never know...

[Twaddlefish]

I'm more bothered about the infinite arrow spawning pores on the back of everyone's back.

But whatevs. I'm easy.

A true BSN poster wouldn't have to think about how to do that...



Besides, bowstrings are for fan art.

After reading some of your posts, you really come off as a Bioware fanatic. When you're almost offended at someone because he "dared" second guess one of Bioware's decision, that's when there's a good chance you have a problem. Don't get me wrong, I love Bioware games, heck the only games I haven't bought from them is Shattered Steel & MDK 2, but I'm not a fanatic and thus don't agree a %100 with every decision they make which is my right.

And BTW nobody is forcing you to read this thread, if you don't like it, go on another thread.
