Whaaat?! No Headshot-Bonus again?!

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 12:54 pm

Yo guys,

just started Skyrim today. Looks and feels great but... I just shot 3 arrows right into an enemys brain. Then he died...
Am i wrong or is there really no damage modificator for chest/head/legs etc.?!

@ Bethesda: Please! Update this!

While i have not been able to play yet ( still downloading ) Did you try it on various creatures / npcs to see if there is a diffrence? Normaly shooting a skeleton with an arrow is a bad idea for example and will yield no bonus

I don't really know what Bethesda's reasoning behind it was, they have already done it and done it well in fallout. I don't even care about a system like VATS but head damage should be doing more damage. It just comes off as goofy when you shoot a guy through the eye and he's still running at you swinging away.

No.

I don't have clue why Bethesda didn't include it. They had it in Fallout 3, so we know they can make it work.

at the very least they could give extra damage to headshots from bows.

Limb damage is a staple of the Fallout series not the Elder Scroll series, In Fallout 3/NV headshots were insanely overpowered.
For Skyrim the skill perks for stealth already offer massive damage multipliers. They don't need a head shot bonus on top of that.
