thanks for this

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll just fiddle with mod load order. Weird though, since I don't have any mods that alter perks

@Kinne hi, I just went in-game and tested it. The perk description in the skill constellation describes it as six times damage, and the status indicator when you hit someone also says "Sneak hit for 6x damage". So if it's saying 3x for you then the mod isn't being applied.

If sneak attack with a bow only does 2x, then you don't even have the perk this applies to. Get the perk and try again. Anyway, I DO have the perk, but it only shows up as 3x. Is that because you didn't change the text, or is something conflicting? Should it say 6x, or will it say 3x but actually do 6x?

Okay, I appreciate it. I have 17 other mods that might interfere too, I'm not sure. but this mod sort of seems like a standalone; just editing the sneak bow modifier

@Hewcumber I wonder if an update messed things up. If more people report this, I will re-install Skyrim and check it out.

subscribed and loaded, but my sneak attacks with bows only doing 2x?

Accepted.

@coldacid No plans to put on Nexus. I tried pasting a direct link to the file here but Steam removed it. I added you to my friends list, accept and I'll give you the link

Have you put this on Nexus?

Alright, I like it. Makes it more satisfying to sneak and shoot a giant. I do that in between quests.

It works on the perk itself. I haven't played crossbows yet - if the Deadly Aim perk applies to them, then yes, if not, no.

does it work with crossbows. mainly modded crossbows like the daedric crossbow?

lol in my mod i just made different tiers for the first perk. and i doubled the damage so lol its pretty nice

I like the idea, but to make it less OP, it should be a tiered perk, sort of like the first Sneak skill. First level = 3x damage, 40 skill. Second level of the perk = 100 skill, 6x damage.

this will help becuase i am going through skyrim with only a long bow

@Scottbee Actually its in the sneak tree

@Scottbee It's a standard perk in the archery perk tree, how can you not have that..?

I don't have that perk in my list, how do you get it?

@Arthedain I doubt the game allows for that. It would require some pretty deep modification

Love all of your mods! Thanks :D

@Rhyoz and Ironfish
Skyrim doesn't have any special recognition of headshots as far as I know. you can shoot someone in the pinkie toe and do the same damage as en eye socket. Game doesn't recognize locations at all

if you have the perk deatly aim alrady, is it going to diapear

@RhyoZ
Instant kill on headshot isn't realistic because IRL it's just as lethal as a chest shot and do you want to die faster?

@xCaptainTrooper it replaces the existing Deadly Aim perk in the Archery constellation.

Can't find the perk :'(

I've one shot dragons on Master difficulty recently with my Daedric Bow, only +60% perk and lvl 85 archery using an Elixer of True shot and +50 dmg Poison, and I don't have this mod.

Is this a glitch, or is Archery just OP?

Love the mod, it feels the game is more realistic (I like to aim at the head or so)

Really hard to kill when you are 5ft away fire an arrow directly at them and it magicly swerves out of the way.

Could you make it so that headshots is instant kill if they don't wear helmets and the only way they can survive a headshot is if they wear good helmets and you are using poor arrows and a sucky bow? Even if you don't sneak? After all, who can survive an arrow to the head? If you can do that it would be way more fun playing as archer.

this mod is awesome. try play MASTER from the beginning only with bow. have fun. i go a full armore at more bow dmg +200% DaedricBow + Perks and im not able to oneshot a Banditmarouder. everyone who says this mod or mods like this make this game to easy should delet their characters and start playing MASTER frmo the BEGINNING since its the most fun you can have :) and dont start in the middle with MASTER because then its easy

Good, I am sick of my 100skill double enchanted, heavily upgraded (I used blacksmith elixirs) DAEDRIC bow with no matter what arrows, will not be able to kill Draugr DeathLords (which due to my level is all I see) in 1 hit. This will fix that.

This mod is approved by me, the one who approves good mods.

Nice, 6x, as it should be :)

@Paradux Much obliged.

@Slovinator One downloads a mod which was uploaded to the Steam Workshop by subscribing it. So click on "+ Subscribe" and you are ready to go

I don't understand how to download this...where??

I like that this adds a bit more realism. Seeing my foe come for me with 2 or more arrows through his brain breaks any attempt at immersive gameplay.

@SeventeenMidgets Headshots sound way better to me. And that "dont like it, then don't download it"-thingy you mentioned is really dull. What is this called? Comments. It's not flaming or whatever what we do but just posting our opinion.
P.S.: Oh and of course i wouldnt downvote a mod just because i prefer a different style of gameplay. Think about it

Interesting, this brings up a notion. The "don't like it, then don't download it" argument seems somewhat dull, and doesn't really defend the mod. It would be more interesting to perhaps detect headshots for x6 damage, and have it as a perk or something, requiring 100 archery. And then trigger all headshots with a kill-cam, if they die.

@Amphrax, disabling / uninstalling the mod will simply revert the perk to 3x damage. No hassles.

@ttpowell this is a good idea, I might keep the perk in its place but turn it into multiple stages.

sound good to me, i have a question though.. what if i pick the perk ofc and someday i maybe want to uninstall it, will it mess up the perk or just reset to 3x damage?

If everyone thinks this is overpowered you could move it one perk past the 100 sneak or 100 archery skill tree? and have multiple stages: 3x 4x 5x 6x so that way the 6x isn't accessable to fast. I would work for the 6x for sure. Just thoughts. I was hoping for the stages instead of right to the 6x. Good job though!! I am using 6x though.

Honestly, I have to agree with the provided description. Well, unless it is an arrow to the knee that kills the enemy! :P

Considering bows are 2-3 times stronger than daggers, I don't get the point of this mod. Feels too much like gamebreaking/easy-mode to me.

This looks awesome, and I Hope it doesn't conflict with anything (Even though it shouldn't xD)
As an Archer this seems fucking awesome to me, and if the mobs die faster, I might even see some more arrow kill cams :D

I guess this would one hit kill with an ebony (fire enchanted) bow or a dedric bow, this will be one of my fav, because i hate it when sometime it should have been one hit kill and turn to be either little to half health, especially on those deathlord draugr.

Bonder I've never made a mod, but I know a little about coding, and that sounds like somtheing that would take some serious dedication to make.

For those who are sniveling "overpowered" and "it's not realistic gameplay", I beg to differ. So...don't use the mod. COSMAR hit it dead center with his insightful remark and thus, this mods necessity. Backstab a mob, puncture a lung, and they instantly go down like a sack of spuds in a one or two hit. Yet even with my vanilla 'high archery' specs, I can put two arrows into a mobs brain by direct hit, and four into its heart, and it still runs towards me like a freight train wihile swinging a fully powered battleaxe....Ahhh....HELLO?? This is what you call 'realistic game play'? Give me a break!

people who are saying its overpowered you probably have archery mods installed personally i think vanilla archery is underpowered i got 100 in archery and got the master perks mod still yess it seems like a high damage but when that goes into use a two handed axe rushing or dagge rs sneaking is much more effective
