Why is it that heavy attacks for every other weapon show that it's fully charged and releases but with bows it's doesn't automatically release?

Oh trust me I have a build in mind that will utilize the bow on a Nightblade as soon as they fix the console performance.https://twitch.tv/whatzituyah2

✭As someone who does archery in real life, this has just always made sense to me. It doesn't do more damage because you're hitting harder, as you would with a melee weapon. It does more damage because you're aiming.
Just listen for the tightening of the string. You'll know it's ready to release when the sound stops.Living vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

✭Because of how bow's work? A full "charge" on a bow would be a full draw anything more would be attributed to aiming. Every other physical weapon in the game is used with a swinging motion, you are not able to do a full swing and hold. You can draw to full and hold for aiming.
This would be an interesting mechanic for bow gankers if you could gain some sort of increase to damage if you held your reticle on target for a short time before releasing.Legendary Archer of ValenwoodBosmer Dragon Knight Archer.

And... that's WHY you have 'arrow barrage'. Apparently you've never played another Elder Scrolls game while using a Bow? The 'hold' is what makes it awesome, being able to heavy attack from stealth, waiting for the enemy to get into the right position, there are so many ways I use this in the game. Since my primary weapon is Bow, it would not be a 'Bow' without being able to hold the shot until the right moment.
