Scarring?

[Sykez]

So, I'm pretty sure most of us watched the intro cinematic. And most of us went "lolwut" when the main character, I.E. YOU, was SHOT IN THE FRIGGIN' HEAD. Normally, this would be fatal. However, our intrepid hero SURVIVED! And not only did he survive, but he doesn't have a single mark left at all! It's like he was punched in the face or something.

 

That's not right. Come on. Shot in head? There should be scarring, or SOMETHING. Are there any texture artists who could make a small bullet-shaped scar on the main character's face? Preferably on the cheek area, so there's a chance of surviving, and so it could be hidden by those snazzy NCR Armor masks?

In vanila there is no such thing as fatal head shot :D Thats why some moders did head shot mod to make game more realistic, I did head shot mod fot mine mod too cuz in vanila game its ridiculous to fire lots of bullets to enemy head and he still fight. I manage to do head shot mod that works on player too so game now is more strategic, PC needs to hide behind cover instead of standing as live target and exchange bullets with enemy lol. Also bullet damage depends on character level o_O its dumb! i changed that and lots of other things to make game more real life like not some dumb carton world like. But in real life not all head shots are fatal, some people strangely live without half of their brain which other part was shot off :) so it has sense for game story cuz it is plausible. But shooter must be very poor marksman :D Maybe he hit main player in cheek or only in scull and bullet slightly ricochet (it is plausible, I watched few documentary movies about wounds. When bullet hits in center of scull it will penetrate but when bullet hits side of scull it may change trajectory a little bit. Scull is thin but it is more dense when if bullet would hit scull on side (sorry for my limited English I cannot find words to describe what I really mean I hope you know what I mean by scull side :) Its like watermelon when you shot at its center it will fly through front and back but aim at its side then bullet will fly through crust only without making to much damage to inside. Scull is more harder than watermelon so bullet may ricochet and make shock/trauma to brain without making to much fatal damage and if help arrives not to long then he would not bleed to death. Anyway I think its good idea with that scar on cheek or above ear as long scar. To bad that game developers didnt make it in game :/ we moders must do half of their job for them EHHHHHH :) At least this game engine is MODER friendly :)

And these people who have been shot in the head and lived. They had scars, yes?

 

Point proven.
