I don't use crossbows in video games (sh.itjust.works)

In all the games I've played (one exception being Half-Life, but that's different) I really don't like using crossbows and avoid doing so at all costs. I don't really know why that is, but to me they don't seem to fit the setting of games like Elder Scrolls or Gothic. I love using regular bows, however. Maybe crossbows feel too modern for me? I don't really know anything about medieval weapons or when they were invented.

What about you? How do you feel about crossbows in these types of games or do you have a similar weird thing you just don't like and refuse to do in video games?

They were funny in Battle Field 3. Players would get really mad because it was humiliating to get taken out by an underpowered secondary weapon.

Also, it had unlockable additional bolts: sniping bolt, explosive bolt and a scan bolt, making it possible use the skills otherwise reserved for other kits/classes, which could be handy even if they were less powerful.
