I mean, Asterkarn sounds like a more primitive land and they might favor bows more than crossbows or rifles. So, conceptually it wouldn’t be a problem to justify why bows can be found in abundance in these areas. For the actual mechanics, bows are 2-handed and they definitely have lower damage than the previously mentioned ranged weapons, but should make up in speed (kind of like daggers would, when compared to larger 1-handed weapons).
We’ll be getting one-handed crossbows with the new expansion, but Crate said years ago that bows don’t fit the theme of the game. Would also mean new animations so I don’t think it’ll happen.
