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?

Never played it, but my biggest problem is with medieval fantasy type games, as I said in the post, I was fine using a crossbow in Half-Life. That said, I will not care if a crossbow is more powerful, I'll use a regular bow instead if available
