Why is a head shot not a kill shot?

Post » Tue May 29, 2012 5:24 am

I was just asking, I was in some cave and a Drauger came running at me. I shot him in the head 3 times and I thought to my self "why isn't he dying".
At later levels it only took 2 headshots to kill. So I guess you need to improve archery skills, use better weapons and be a higher level. I had a better bow/arrow combo but no archery skills.

One reason among many may be that trying to get a head-shot, or even attempting any kind of accuracy during a fight using a game-pad must be about as easy and intuitive as trying to pick up a pencil off the floor using your butt-cheeks.
Lmao, head shots are gravy is this game on the 360!!!!! Maybe poor hand eye coordination with joy sticks put u off but just notice this game was made for us console players... I even have a Mack ass gaming computer but this game is not for that unless u like to mod, in which I do not

Because this is a traditional "damage vs hp" style RPG, not a twitch/action/FPS You Hit The Vulnerable Spot!? UltraSuperInstaKillboomheadshot game.

why not go for critical hits or something perhaps depending on the level difference
cuz I can one shot a lot of bandits and stuff with my axe by doing the critical charge
if some1 takes the time to set up a head shot why not reward them with double damage aswell
not that different from a charged critical or sneak attack IMO
takes more effort, does more damage

I'd like to see shooting accuracy dependent on the archery skill. As if you'd aim at the head, but with terribly low skill the arrow would fall a couple of meters away from the target. Then having headshots would have made sense.
