I started a new adventure as a bowman, but I can't hit anybody, even at closest possible distance, I'm pressing f...

Does anyone have the same issue?

The interface is to hit "f", then move the cursor to the desired square.

In addition, there's no friendly fire. If the creatures you're shooting at are friendly, you won't hit them. If you're currently sneaking, you will also never hit prone creatures or creatures that aren't fully hostile - if you want to snipe wild animals which would normally run away from you, you have to stop sneaking before you shoot.

You should also know that in the start, archery is very, very randomized; when I try it, I get 65% misses, 30% awful hits, and 5% decent shots.

yes I hit f and set my cursor on the enemy and hit enter and then nothing happens apparently :x

do you see the arrows appearing on the ground?

[AJC]

also what skill level is your archer skill and bow/crossbow skill levels levels generally if they aren't at least around level 5 will generally just produce misses when using a bow/crossbow.

you can train your archer skill by picking up and throwing rocks though

[Azerax]

and your rocks will do more damage then your bow/crossbow

I think it might be a bug with elves, or with that particular "savegame" because, I started again with a human crossbowman, and every shot hit it's target^^

Were you by any chance shooting at animals? Those are peaceful towards elves, so enjoy friendly fire protection.
