No. Damage to a target is not location specific. That is, a footshot = headshot. :)

That's about it. You get to walk up later and think, "Hey cool! Right between the eyes!" But you do the same amount of damage no matter where you hit them.

If you check out the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/26-the-elder-scrolls-series-discussion/ board here, requests for and discussions of locational damage in the next game come up fairly regularly.

Yeah, kind of funny how the "pain" of shooting an NPC in the foot, kills them. :P Just as well though. I mostly play an sneaky archer type character in 3rd person view. That said, I find half of my shots wind up in the NPC's limbs. If it was locational damage, I'd have a lot more training to do for accuracy. :D

Maybe in the next version they'll implement a Fallout 3 type of damage system where limb damage does count for something. That would be good.

I still love running up to my victims and seeing where my arrows hit.
