So I was looking at the weapons previews listed for upcoming content and wanted to throw a suggestion in the ring:
Crossbows that scale off strength.
From a historical standpoint, this fits. Crossbows were used well into the 1800s alongside firearms and bows, and offered a tool which was less predicted on finesse or dexterity of use, but rather the strength to draw the bow and knock bolts.
From a games dynamic perspective: Many games homogenize arrows and bolts, so no need to add a separate ammo type/slot. Additionally, this could provide a much-needed proper range weapon for primarily strength based users.
Anyways, just my shower thoughts. Thanks for a great game!
