Are they fixed (I didn't see mention of nets in fixes, though)? Or were they broken in the first demo release to begin with? I used them a several times and couldn't observe any effect. This was asked in another thread as well but wasn't answered unless I missed the answer. I didn't try again in the fixed demo.

The effect is 30% penalty to THC. So it's kinda hard to see if the opponent gets some good rolls. But on average, you should see that he misses more.

Everything that you didn't figure out is broken now? Must be the new definition.

Anyway, nets give your opponents a 30% to-hit penalty. They are very handy against opponents that hit you often and use aimed attacks (which require higher THC).

Hard to figure out anything at all when they hit you just the same without a single miss every time you use it, unless you are "the one" in "the matrix", which I sadly am not. Perhaps if the NPCs shouted "gee, I just received a 30% to hit penalty, I hope I won't miss the player when I'll attack him in a moment". I'm sure you'd get a different impression even after repeated trials proved useless. It must be my inferior intelligence anyway.

Anyway, thanks for the answer, both of you.

Why are there no upgraded bows in the demo?
I mean, with crossbows there's both scoped and multiple capacity ones for sale, but throughout the whole thing there's only the same 3 bows available, with some variations that doesn't seem to do anything differently from the normal ones.
Kinda makes bows suck compared to crossbows.
Also, are you aware that you can switch to fast shot and precise shot with crossbows using the keyboard shortcuts? Precise shots are useless of course, but the 1 AP fast shots are mean as hell.

Too lazy to read the thread, so sorry if this has already been discussed.

Yep, already fixed.
