Yeah the crossbows are pretty sweet.... BUT my assassin has max smith and goes for max damage so of course I'm going to have to say the dragonbone bow, dragonbone arrow combo is much more deadly... not to mention faster on the second shot. Its a nice addition esspecially for me because I don't wear dragonbone armor, so the perk was wasted until now.
Vampire lord is indeed alot of fun, it makes me think they should have made the werewolf form be able to change at will... or atleast rig up maybe a new system. I was thinking like at low health or stamina you go wolf out of your control or something. Since in 'story' werewolves have always had very little, or atleast less control over their transformation and powers then vampires.
