I'm curious what you would use a bow for in the swamps. You can fast walk past everything that's outside, possibly with the exception of the wraith, but that only comes out at night.

I've used a bow once or twice in the crypts, but that was just to take out another archer in the rooms with the body piles, but even that can be be worse than other solutions, since they keep spawning.

Shoot draugr archers?
Get stealth kills since Draugr have good hearing but terrible eyesight?
Kill leeches if you don't have a melee weapon that hits the ground?
Kill blobs so you don't have to get within poison range and/or they are in the water?
Shoot people from high vantage points before they get into melee?

Better question: Why -wouldn't- you use a bow in the swamps?
