EbrithilUmaroth Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Hi, I'm Ebrithil Umaroth, the author of The Comprehensive List of the Best Mods for Skyrim on Reddit. I love the idea of Locational Damage and it's something I feel should have been in the game to begin with but the only mod that does this is horrible. Reasons it's horrible:It hasn't been updated in over a year, so people are reporting that on the latest version of Skyrim, this mod bloats and eventually corrupts your save data.The scripts only seem to work half the time, if that.Even when your shot does register, the script takes way too long to process. A Better Locational Damage mod should be a top priority mod project. Why do we have like 5 different "Needs" mods but only one crappy Locational Damage mod?

For example, hitting an arm might be 50% damage, hitting the body is 100% damage, hitting the head is 200% damage, etc. It's really important to archery, Locational Damage makes archery so much more fun and without it, Archery just feels bland and boring. I added a link to the original post and no, the mod author isn't active anymore. Edited June 26, 2014 by EbrithilUmaroth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindw0rk2 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Deadly Combat mod has locational damage and it works much better then Locational Damage mod. No script lags and works all the times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No script lags and works all the timesI'm looking into this now, so far the most important thing I see is that it's not really configurable, all you can do is turn the Locational Damage on or off...

If I was, I would have said that, no I'm looking for Locational Damage. What I mean by Locational Damage is pretty self-explanatory, if you hit them in the arm, it does x amount of damage, if you hit them in the head, it does y amount of damage, if you hit them in the body, it does z amount of damage. It's not complicated. It gets a bit more complicated when you add effects like staggering, disarming, and instant-kill it gets a bit more complicated. That stuff would be nice, since the original Locational Damage mod had all that stuff, but it's not as important as just having configurable damage amounts. I've been testing Deadly Combat all day and I can't find any evidence that it actually has Locational Damage. I want pretty much exactly what the original Locational Damage mod did except one that doesn't corrupt your save data and doesn't have script lag. As far as concept goes, the Locational Damage mod had it almost spot on. Edited June 27, 2014 by EbrithilUmaroth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 im not talking about vats, I talking about how you can cause damage to different parts of the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanannigan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 A snappier Locational Damage would be awesome. With my archer play through it's always annoying when enemies survive arrows through the eye or neck due to Locational Damage not tracking properly.
