I'm sure this has been suggested atleast a hundred times by now, but in the off chance that it hasn't, I'll say it. I think in Adv. mode (This probably wouldn't work in fortress) you should be able to choose if you want to reload after firing a bow or a crossbow, because of the rather long amount of time it takes. I also think that you should also be able to abort the reload while performing it.

Being the guy that likes to use a bow and dagger. I agree with this.

Planned.

Toady, will the next changes include a nerfing of crossbows, both overpowered in Fortress mode and on enemies and VERY inconvenient as a beginner adventurer due to the fact you automatically reload right after firing (instead of doing something more useful, like fleeing or dropping your crossbow and pulling out a sword) ?

I haven't changed them yet, but the special firing delay variable is up for the chopping block now that they can be merged with the other actions.  And yeah, that'll give us some more freedom, since we couldn't make the post-fire delay very slow in the old system.
