Did you miss attributes in Skyrim? How should attributes affect skills, anyways?

I remember trying to be an archer in Morrowind one of the first times I played it and all that kept happening was I'd repeatedly miss mudcrabs with every shot.

Skill issue.

well, yes.

Character skill in this case, not player skill. It's Morrowind.

Morrowind was terrible about visual congruence in this regard, where you would visibly hit your target and be rewarded with a "miss" effect.

A more skilled player would have known to play a better game.

You just need to max accuracy and never attack with anything less than a full bar of fatigue.

75% actually. It's only after that where you start taking stat penalties.
(Am I the only one annoyed that it took until Skyrim to start calling it "Stamina"? Fatigue is the absence of stamina. Having more fatigue should be bad.)
