How Do I Become a Better Archer in Oblivion?
- 1). Press and hold the left-mouse button with the bow equipped to draw an arrow, then release it to fire. The longer you hold down the mouse button, the farther the arrow will fly.
- 2). Approach an enemy while in sneak mode, and fire upon him while you are in "Undetected" status. This will cause a critical hit, and can drastically improve the chance of surviving the fight.
- 3). Run in wide circles and fire at the enemy on the move. This will make it much harder for the enemy to hit you.
- 4). Level up the "Marksman" skill by using your bow against enemies. Every time that you fire the bow at a living creature, there is a chance that the skill will increase. The higher the "Marksman" skill is, the more damage you will do with your bow.
