I love this game! I recently ran into a few Giants whom of course I immediately started a melee with because I am the Hero dagnabit. Well, I died several times over.

The issue I noticed was that when I died (they smashed me - read smashed into the ground with a club), my body (corpse) would fling and spin high into the air.

I think the physics of the game have improved since Oblivion. I would assume that being cratered into the ground would be more realistic than being smashed ''down'' into the air.
