Best Answer

Specificaly to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:

Crossbows are useful in several ways. They don't affect walking speed, shoot faster arrows and have a higher base damage, all useful when hunting vampires. They can also be used in combination with element infused arrows that inflict frost, flame or lightning damage on the target. You don't have to wait for the bow to be drawn before shooting and thus can be ready to fire before entering battle. You have a higher chance to stagger the enemy across the board, both when they are hit by an arrow and when you bash them.
