Like the VATS system in FO3, idk about FO:NV since i nvr rly played it that much, anyways, i think there should be a certain spot on each npc's head, varying on their race, that would let you make their head's explode, of course powerful enemies won't have this spot...

your ideas?

P.S same for ice spikes for mages

Ummm..no

why... too far fetched

not asking for a vats system... that'd be a sadistic, horrible, evil, idea... and until sheogorath is evil, it won't be my idea...

asking for a surprise every time you shoot someone in hte head when you actually hit that small spot, honestly who has done a extremely precise aim, so when you hit the nord in a small area on his forehead, then his head would explode, not taht bad is it?

I did love the bloody mess perk in fallout NV though..eyeballs would fly everywhere. It was fun

warriors can decapate, why cant archers and mages explode heads? waiting for my answer

Eh it could work just make a new arrrow with an explosive spell at the end of it.

Enchanted arrows plz!

I like it, sounds like a new perk or something that could go with fletching (saw a prior thread about that today idk where that went...)




you heard the atronarch...

Just more gore in general. Like you could cut limbs off, shoot em in the knee caps & watch them struggle to run away... man i have problems don't I?

I wanna be able to disembowel someone and then strangle them with their intestines.

I'd love it if they added locational damage like in GTA4, Red Dead Redemption. Or even a (much) more simple form, like what was in Goldeneye and Perfect Dark back in the N64 days.

Dunno about exploding heads.... unless it was a magical exploding arrow- normal arrows just tend to make nice, linear holes through things. They don't expand and shatter like bullets can. What I would like to be able to do though, along the lines of locational damage, is hit them in the leg, and see them hobble or go down on one knee, and remain hobbled for the rest of the fight. They could swing melee weapons at you (with no power hits) if you got close enough to let them- but that's it. Shoot them in either arm, and it becomes unusable. If they are only equipped with a 2H weap or bow, that's it, they'd have to run or get killed. Headshots would be 50% extra damage. Stuff like that. At least for human enemies, and lower level monsters. Things like giants, draugr deathlords... they'd have to be made of sterner stuff and harder to seriously cripple, or it would be too easy to disable them.

I wasn't even referring to the exploding heads thing. That's just stupid. What I was talking about was exactly what you were describing. Wouldn't it be cool to say, hit a bandit in both knees with arrows, and just leave him to the wolves? Or disable both of an enemies arms, preventing them from attacking with their full potential?

The problem would be balancing. Games that incorporate that stuff have you fighting tons of goons at a time and you're using, ya know, a gun.

This is not something I would want.

Mages can incinerate with the right perk; explosive arrows have not been invented yet in Tamriel and, besides, the over the top finishing moves are already testing my patience

I want an exploding sweetroll similar to the poison apples in oblivion! make it happen Beth!

I'll settle for eyeballs on the tip of the arrow head.

Arrows that make heads explode haha ave a day off will ya.

I can′t imagine a head to explode only because it was pierced by an arrow...

You can decapitate someone with a sword or an axe, but you can't blow up someone's head with an arrow.
[fact].

@topic: No, they shouldn't.

Mages with exploding spells? Yes.

Archers? What the hell? NO!

Oh... my... God... Favorite quote of the year...

I wouldn't enjoy the sight of it, in my lifetime imagery arrows are those delicate slim bastards that come out of nowhere and steal lives clean. Let the big hammers, bullets and the sharp swords do the cutting and the explosions, when I play archer I do it for silent, clean deaths.
