Compound Bows
Something that I have realized is that technically not all bows could have been eliminated from Fable. One type of bow could have been "invented" by bow purists to attempt to keep up with firearms and crossbows is the compound bow. Granted that the compound bow was not invented until the modern age, but then Clockwork firearms in Fable are basically early stage modern firearms. Anyways, it has been tested and proved that compound bows perform just as the best crossbows if not better because crossbows use smaller arrows. Honestly I would have found it rather cool to see just one type of advanced bow in Fable 2 as DLC that is unique where damage depends on how fast you shoot it like in Fable. If you take the time to fully pull back the string, it does damage and range similar to a Heavy crossbow, etc etc.
