To All FO2 modders out there; an idea!

I agree that bows are an obvious weapon for the Tribals. But the only time that The Chosen One is in Tribal garb is in the Temple of Trials, and as soon as he or she dons the Vault Suit, it is off to civilization (as such), and bows are left behind...
 
Yet a spear isn't? Honestly, even after the den, you likely won't have enough to afford a gun; and I would venture to say most wouldn't find the gun hidden in the rat's layer, soooo...why not?

Besides, a bow is good for RP purposes. The game has throwing knives, arguably the most useless weapon in the game next to sharpened sticks and rocks. So why not a bow, even after leaving Arroyo?
 
Well, I do agree. But as already discussed, adding it to the game would be a huge job, and not likely to happen. The lack of shortbows is not that great a lack however - it takes something from the atmosphere of the early game (here's an idea; maybe a few tribal type enemies in random encounters could use them; that would be a much smaller task and would add something, I think).

Personally, I never use the spear (not even in the temple of trials) and never put a single point into melee weapons. I rely on unarmed in the early game.
