Valheim bows, namely the bowstring.

It don't move. I've been searching for other posts and discussions about this topic but have found none.

It's a little thing, but regardless it bothers me. The other day I was watching a video that was showcasing Valheim VR mod and I noticed that they have the bowstring moving back when the player draws back an arrow! (Or at least it appears to.) Don't get me wrong. I love this game. I wish I had known about it in on kickstarter so I could get a sweet Odin Cape and support the devs earlier on.

It is so incredibly janky to see your character hold up the bow and pull an invisible arrow back while the bowstring and bow stay completely stationary.

pointed this out on valheim reddit and it got no traction. Due to the nature of downvoting. We in 2023 and bowstrings can't be animated?

Its a Hollywood bow. No arrow or string while pulling. Those are added by CGI in post.

Watch the skeleton archers use a bow if you want a laugh.
