Add the option to toggle between auto aim and manual aim for archery

Garamant

I am sure this has been a topic to some extend... (probably an understatement), not trying to re-open some heated discussions from the past ... but I am not sure where the downsides would be to give players the option to toggle between aim with crosshair (like in all the previous TES Games so far) and auto aim as we have it now. I always found TES Archery to be very interesting and challenging. It was actually one of my main drives behind buying ESO. But as I ve seen there is no real need to aim with a bow, I chose 2h.
But if this would change, I would definitely make a new archer alt, just for that. If we had little (not exaggerated) bonuses for hitting certain areas (maybe dmg bonus+ knocking out of balance for headshots, slower movement speed for legshots etc...) that would be nice. I dont see why people complain about hitboxes, I ve been missing with two handed swings, when it just looked like I was going to miss, but then again I haven t tried every ability and what not in pve and pvp, so some might be right about it.
Can not wait to see the "really?" and dead horse beater comments.

On an MMO like ESO it wouldn't work and especially not with ESO's game engine. The latency between server and client is the main issue I am afraid and would cause 90% of your arrows to miss. The concept feels reachable, but the reality would be soul destroying.

Yes, because we don't have enough dps running through dungeons spamming lethal and light attack.

From a development perspective this change would be enormous.

yes i thought so too, if there was one reason to not have it like this, it would be difficulties within development or the engine. Would be a pity really...
