We considered a bow ditching mechanic in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which would also be way quicker to just drop the bow before drawing the sword, but it was also very annoying to search for the bow after every combat interaction and if you would forget about it, you would have no bow on your next enemy encounter. This was very frustrating too play.
@jamesfstokes 3 жыл бұрын
Yep sometimes when seeking a realistic game you also have to make sure to balance that with some practicality otherwise annoyances come come up and it becomes bothersome to play. I was curious. What did you guys end up deciding to do for when putting Henry puts the bow away? I have not played the game myself so am not super familiar with the KCD (although it looks like a very good game). Keep up the good work with development on KCD as well as any future games your studio works on. Cheers :)
@WarhorseStudios 3 жыл бұрын
@@jamesfstokes We tested out the mechanic, if you have your bow equipped, and if you are in a combat situation, then you would drop the bow, if you draw your sword. The upside is, that is far quicker just to drop the bow and draw the sword, because there is no animation to put the bow back into your inventory, which can lead to losing a fight. But players would lose the bow and often not pick it up and wonder later, where their bow is. That's why we decided to go back to the animation of Henry, storing his bow neatly into his inventory, even in a combat situation.

There probably wasn't a whole lot of need for something like this in the past, since adventuring wasn't really a thing beyond the odd explorer. Armies could have all their bows unstrung and protected in a crate sitting in a wagon. A hunter is likely your best bet for someone who could have used the method, but then, they'd probably just keep the bow in their hands.

@Hirosjimma 3 жыл бұрын
Here's an interesting idea: Instead of a nail and catching cylinder you might also consider a button on the bow and a slot cut in thick leather on your back. The slot would act as a rail holding securely around the button, but the leather would still have enough give to just pull the button out of the slot. You wouldn't even need to lift the thing out of the catch anymore, just jank it off. This would also make it safer if the wearer is on horseback and the bow catches on something, just like the tear away straps on cowboy hats. As a bonus, you could wrap the slot all the way over your shoulder and have a tapered opening so it's easy to put the button in. And having two buttons on your bow both going in that slot would also ensure it's always held in the same orientation. This method is way WAY more over-engineerd and it might not work.. I should prototype it.
@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 3 жыл бұрын
That might work out fine even help putting it back onto your back. With a bolt tied perpendicular on the bow and a large (1 inch or thereabouts) head sticking out (from the bow) say a half inch it would easily be slipped into the leather. Think nail heads and the holes on the back of clocks/string on pictures but a lot longer and tapering hole. __________________________ \_______///___________/ | ---- \ / \ / \ / \/ Ps having the catch on the side of the bow is more important than you might think with a rigid quiver.

Look at the number of make-shift life-improvements you see modern soldiers make to their gear and you will realize that Shad's ideas have more merit than we probably give him credit for. It would be wrong to depict a medieval army in a movie carrying spears on their back, but if you depict them all transporting their spears in their hands except this one dude among them with it on his back then that would be totally believable.

I love this a lot. Like as an archer who loves fantasy and adventure, that has ALWAYS bothered me. Like how do I carry a bow with me? Nowadays there are takedown recurves, but that’s not my historical passion! I have a horsebow and I love the quiver for it, but I love the longbow and you just completely redeemed it in my imagination and story writing! Congratulations, you, sir, are a legend

For the spear, instead of using a nail, it would probably work better to use a long curved flat spring mounted into the spear so that its flush/recessed at both ends and can't catch on your hand. When you want to put it away, you just have to left the spring (which is easy because its curved so in the center it portrudes out from the surface slightly). This would also latch it into your ring meaning it would be less likely to be jostled out when jogging or something. The drawback of course being that it would take slightly more force to free it from the ring when you want access to it.

And just like that, Shad reinvented the cavalry sling So simple, yet so efficient... I'd probably add a leaf spring so it doesn't stab your hand and is just slightly more secure, but it's a damn good design to begin with. I just love how you work around reality until it conforms to fantasy ^^
@CommanderJonny 3 жыл бұрын
When he was going through the explanation, I thought of a spring clip, which wouldn't need another object to pair it with. You could clip it to a belt, a pack, or a scabbard when not in use, and there's no pointy object involved (I feel having the nail on the baldric/belt would still leave the possibility of poking yourself somehow). There's also the potential bonus, depending on the exact size and design of the clip, for it to possibly serve as a makeshift arrow rest.

Alternately, put the nail on the side opposite the arrow resting side (rotate yours 90 degrees clockwise on the bow shaft) and sew a few leather loops onto your upper back or side of a ruck sack. Now like the back scabbard, you can do it one handed. As for the hook, I would have a bar/nail bent to 3 levels (all parallel to bow shaft), first level would be cinched tight to the bow (maybe with a few barbs forged in to grab the wood), second level would be at your 2 rope layer gap, and the last inch would be double or triple that to make catching the loop easier (last level could also just be a flair outward with a ball end). Keep up the great work.

The biggest difference between the entirety of human existence and the last 30 years is the ability of the average person to document and share their ideas on a massive scale. Even 40 years ago unless shad had a multi national t.v. show he couldn't come anywhere close to reaching as many people with his ideas as he can in 1 hour by just posting a video on here. If something was possible to easily be made in the past & it was a useful solution to a common problem then there is a good chance you didn't think of it first and probably aren't even the first one to make a prototype.

I came across an article on how indigenous persons carried their bows unstrung. One end of the bowstring had a slightly oversized loop that was large enough to allow the bowstring to slide around the bow. This allowed the hunter to carry the string on the unstrung bow. A second string was attached at the tips of the bow with enough slack in the string so that the hunter could place a foot, on the second string, pinning it to the ground, while pulling up on the center of the bow itself and allowing the oversized loop on the bowstring to slide into place. The unstrung bow was carried in the quiver with the arrows. The exact length of the bow, string or arrows were not mentioned. Not as fast as your idea, however with enough practice it would be a close second.
