One Skyrim gamer has created an overpowered version of the Dragonbone Bow with over 600 damage. Customization is an essential aspect of Skyrim's gameplay, and players have the freedom to create their own weapons and armor. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim players can craft hundreds of weapons and make them even more potent by upgrading them using key items and materials.
Skyrim's enchanting serves as an alternative option for weapons upgrades. Enchanting allows players to imbue weapons with magical properties that can increase their damage output or provide unique effects. The Dragonbone Bow is one of the most powerful bows in Skyrim, but with some crafting and enchanting, it can become even more deadly. Recently, a Skyrim player shared their experience on Reddit of creating an overpowered Dragonbone Bow, and the results were impressive.
Reddit user Adhdanny75 shared an image on the Skyrim subreddit showing the remarkable weapon from their playthrough. The picture shows a Dragonbone Bow crafted by the player, but it has unimaginably high damage and value stats. The base damage of a standard Dragonbone Bow is 20, with a value of 2,725. In contrast, the bow created by Adhdanny75 has a massive damage rating of 692 and is worth 11,411 in Skyrim's currency. Furthermore, the highly overpowered Dragonbone Bow made by the user deals 36 and 18 points of shock and magicka damage, respectively.
However, the player mentioned feeling a little guilty about creating such an overpowered weapon in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. They questioned whether it would be fun to use in the game, as it essentially made all enemies too easy to defeat and removed the sense of accomplishment after a battle. Despite these concerns, the player still decided to use the overpowered Dragonbone Bow in their gameplay, and the results were impressive. They could easily take down even the most formidable enemies in Skyrim in only a few hits, and one shot several others like draugr, forsworn, and bandits.
Overall, the customization options available for weapon crafting and upgrades in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim provide players with a vast range of possibilities to create their ideal armaments. From creating new weapons using different materials to upgrading them with enchantments or blacksmithing, Skyrim's crafting and upgrading options enable players to make their weapons as powerful as possible. Gamers who want to create the Dragonbone Bow must have a Smithing level of 100 and the Dragon Armor perk.
