I don't use crossbows in video games (sh.itjust.works)

In all the games I've played (one exception being Half-Life, but that's different) I really don't like using crossbows and avoid doing so at all costs. I don't really know why that is, but to me they don't seem to fit the setting of games like Elder Scrolls or Gothic. I love using regular bows, however. Maybe crossbows feel too modern for me? I don't really know anything about medieval weapons or when they were invented.

What about you? How do you feel about crossbows in these types of games or do you have a similar weird thing you just don't like and refuse to do in video games?

Crossbows are much older than you think:

Saying that, you’re free to play as you prefer, what’s the point of playing if you don’t enjoy it? I personally never play with bows myself.

I can still hear the music from this game in my head.
