Calm down a bit Bobbodian please, remember the rules on flaming. That post is certainly a bit heated. Thanks. ;)

Er, sorry. I know. I don't mean to insult anyone. But will anyone give me a straight yes-how/no-why answer?

It should be possible to try experimenting with the addition of extra (non-flexible) bones, in order to see if that has any effect on where arrows lodge. While it would be easiest to find someone who knows what they're doing, it might be possible to do it yourself in NIFSkope.

Ahhh.... Well, thank you. But I'm almost certain that's not what I'm trying to do; if you know otherwise, please tell me. Once again: I am not trying to ADD any new points for arrows to lodge, only make it so that one of the places (the head) where they can ALREADY lodge UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS (death) - I want to eliminate the script that determines whether or not the arrow lodges in the head. I believe there is such a script for these reasons:

 

1. The fact that in one case, arrows do something specifically when they hit the head (they move to another part of the body), and in another case they don't do that, they simply stick as they would when they hit any other part of the body. Both the fact that this is condition-dependant and the fact that it is body-part-dependant looks to me as if the game has a special rule for arrow-sticking if a) the arrow hits the head AND b) the target is alive after the arrow hits them.

 

2. This is not an arbitrary limitation, in my opinion; Bethesda could certainly have intended to do this, because it is not an unreasonable rule at all. I know that it would be unrealistic for someone attacking you to continue attacking just as before with an arrow through their head. I just think the alternative Bethesda chose - moving arrows to another part of the body (the chest I think) - is not only just as silly, but also anticlimactic. I just want to have the ability to change it.

 

Please, unless you can explain exactly how this either helps me or proves that what I'm trying to do is impossible, don't post the following:

 

1. Anything about where arrows snap to, or don't snap to, on the body.

2. Things I have already said that you just didn't feel like reading, i.e., "hey ur wrong arrow's DO stick in teh head at least when the shot kills them or there dead alredy idk about when there alive tho idk what ur talking about". Thank you, but I am fully aware of this.

3. ANYTHING without having read ALL of the posts before this - including other people's, and also including mine, all the way through. So far this is the rule that no one seems to have followed. This isn't a long thread, you can probably do it. If you can't, try not to post, please.

In my experience, arrows stick everywhere but the eyes, nose and mouth, this was also a experiment I conducted on living and dead ppl.

I give up.

 

Actually, no. That's interesting and I'll have to test that out, it seems plausible to me.

AH! I get it, you're saying that arrows DO stick into the head of people when they're alive for YOU! That's surprising, but certainly very interesting and without a doubt changes the nature of my inquiry considerably. Just one thing, are you sure that the shots on the heads of living people didn't kill them, AND still stuck where they hit (or at least somewhere ON the head)? If so, I must know more about this.

I noticed in test characters that when you use the set lvl cheat, and go up to about lvl 200. the guards are almost invincible (after a few days) I shot at a live guard, it stuck in his forehead, but when shot in eyes or mouth, it would make it so the arrow stuck out the side of the head.

I must test this!

Thank you very much!
