That's annoying, since it's locked until the TG quest, and crossbows are very loud and not very thief-like IMHO.
Edit: loud, not load

Right, wouldn't a daedric bow have made more sense?
I was thrilled and then immediately disappointed when I saw that behind the gate on my nightblade. Aside from being a terrible weapon for stealth, it takes a whole lot of practice to aim with the thing and that weapon model taking up 75% of the screen.

Well, you do get the Nightingale Bow immediately after Mercer, so I'm guessing the devs wouldn't want to put another bow in the same dungeon. Honestly, I think a quiver of Daedric arrows would be really cool.
What frustrates me more is hand-placed daedric items that are locked behind major questlines. Spoilers The 2.0 daedric bow is at the end of the Gauldur amulet quest, which means that you have to join the Mage's college to get it. Ideally, I'd like there to be a complete set of Daedric weapons hand-placed where any character can get to it. However, there may not be enough high-level dungeons without quest locks for that to be reasonable.
In my perfect world, such locations would be randomized, so that there would be spots where you know Daedric stuff could spawn, but you can't be sure exactly what you'll find.

Every daedric item can now be found in the world in 2.0. It’s pretty nice.

God damn that damage is insane
My pure marksman with maxed smithing and tempered ebony bow was sitting at 375 damage with it. Then I see Daedric Bow... untempered, 302 damage.. w u t.
To be fair though, ebony bows shoot incredibly fast with the speed perk. The dps likely exceeds the crossbow by a large margin.
There's a fast reload perk for crossbows, isn't there? So dps would be more or less equal, if not higher for crossbows.. but I never play with them, so I wouldn't know.
Yes but heavy crossbows just go from unbearably slow to really damn slow. Crossbows will always be very slow.
That's in the eye of the beholder :). It's base damage is 108.
