IT'S ALIVE!!! My bow is alive!!!!!!!!!
   

This really isn't a big deal. More of a curiosity than anything else. I have a regular ole hunting bow equiped right now and once I use it and put it back on my shoulder, it starts 'breathing'. What I mean is it slowly moves from its 'rest' position to the 'drawn taught' position while it's on my shoulder! It does this in a cycle that never stops - even unequipping and re-equipping it doesn't stop it. In fact, the icon for the bow in my inventory breathes right along with its larger counterpart that's on my body. Pretty weird huh? Oh well, it doesn't affect gameplay any. I just feel a little stupid when I'm trying to talk to someone and my bow won't be still.

Hey there Jabberwocky,

I don't know which is worse, a dissapearing dragon or a living bow!

I've had this bow effect many times and i'm sure other players have, but i've not seen the gradual "creeping" of the ani' file before. This culprit ani' file is active when it should not be, or more precise, the file is "leeking" between drawn and at rest. I don't have an immediate answer but if you want to see the said ani' files for yourself just press g on the keyboard when in marvin mode, you will see the cycling of the several ani's all in unison with the apparent moving of the bow. as far as i know, it would also happen with any other bow you may equip. let us know of any developements.

That happened to me in the 1st Gothic, my bow was breathing, it was actually kinda funny.

Yes, I don't know if it happens with any bow or not because I started using a crossbow instead. It took me a while to notice that in NOTR all crossbows are based on strength rather than dexterity. Now I'm dumping all my skill points into one item (strength) instead of two. (strength & dexterity)

I do have that Firebow that I found atop one of Dexter's towers. I haven't found a use for it yet, but I'm keeping it for certain simply because it looks so cool! Or should I say HOT!!
