*no spoilers please*

Regardless if there is a really good +100 bow later in the game or anything like that, in an objective sense, which is more practical for a PC to have, a bow or an xbow. I figure that practically every other NPC who can use a bow does, and Jan is the only one that I can think of that uses a xbow (and he has his own special one). And while the bow has twice the rate of fire, meaning more damage, you go through ammo a lot quicker and have to keep twice as much on you (esp. for long stretches). Therefore, without spoiling or taking into account things to come, what do y'all say?
