About the crossbows: I know little about crossbows, and crossbows in other elder scrolls games, except that they are more powerful than regular bows and take longer to reload.

Maybe there will be smaller one handed crossbows that are more powerful than bows of the same material in game, but will take slightly longer to reload. And then there will be bigger two handed crossbows that are even more power than one handed crossbows, but will take at least 4 times longer to load than regular bows.

I know that's probably not going to happen, but I think it would be cool.
