Horgr Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Well if there IS some kind of locational damage, it sure doesn’t show. In every video I have seen that involves some kind of combat, the enemy has reacted the same to getting hit in the face or in the leg. Kind of disappointed that this basic feature implemented in fallout 3 hasn't been implemented in Skyrim. As for armor protecting certain parts of the body...did it work like that in fallout? I could have sworn a headshot, even when not wearing a helmet of some kind, was effected by outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistat Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) wasn't it confirmed that there are no limb/bodypart based damages? .. pretty sure .. might have just been a rumor though .. I personally doubt itthere isn't, you would have to mod it in. Well if there IS some kind of locational damage, it sure doesn’t show.

Ghogiel Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Bethesda didn't add Locational Damage to Oblivion because they didn't want players to feel punished for not wanting to wear armor on all parts of their body. For example some players enjoy using light armor with a hood, yet with Locational Damage that would be a sure way to ask for a headshot fatality. I agree with their reasoning. It fits well in a game like Fallout 3/New Vegas that emphasizes firearms, but not in The Elder Scrolls.I disagree. AR is a global value. Not wearing a helmet in either case actually has the same negative side affect- you have a lower damage reduction value. You'd just take more damage with headshots if there would be locational damage, the same damage if you were wearing a helmet or not. I think it is more likely that melee just doesn't work very well like that, and/or were thinking that they didn't want to penalise players who were less lick-a-shots or something.

babis8142 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I don't think a system like that would work well for Skyrim. I mean if you get hit with a spell how is it gonna work? And Swords? When it comes to slashing damage you die from bleeding so if you get hit in the arm there are arteries that could be cut and you'll die in minutes. It's just as effective as being slashed in the torso. In real life that is. But this is a game; no locational damage if you ask me. But who am I anyway? Bethesda will do whatever they want but I'm pretty sure Pete Hindes said no locational damage. But then again.... its Pete Hindes he's been proven wrong before (with decapitations for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuco404 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Locational damage will be modded into Skyrim like it was in Oblivion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
