It should, because it is a very sensitive area.

I'm not trolling.

No, it shouldnt.

Umm i dont think it should but hilarious animations should ensue making he character not a threat anyway lol

I bet you want a silly animation for it too, don't you? No thanks.

They had their chance at groin shots with Fallout 3, as the previous Fallout games had those too. It didn't happen, and it won't happen for Skyrim either.

Actually there a pretty large vain down there so maybe there are meaning to this thing... Just sayin..

Wtf is a groing? Hehe, and no, especially since half the population would be immune. Besides, as painful as that would be, so would pretty much any other spot. Getting shot by an arrow is different than being kicked.

No, it should not. :flamethrower:

you saying that it wont hurt to be struck by an arrow in the groin if you are female ?

depends on the creature!
if you've ever seen MEN IN BLACK 2 will smith punches the alien guy in the nuts, nothing happens. it turned out the alien was a BALL-chinnian so there you have it!

It doesn't matter where you get hit with an arrow, it's going to hurt like hell regardless. And even though a shot to the groin would hurt more, the pain from getting shot by an arrow is already extreme, so a shot in the groin doesn't exactly dwarf arrow wounds in other areas.

An arrow to the head is another store. Shooting guards in the eye like 10 times before they dropped tripped me out in oblivion.

Well they've said archery will be alot stronger.

It's a shame they don't have locational damage.

I still reckon it should be between 1-3 shots for an arrow(s).

there should be a perk, where if you hit them with an arrow in the bullseye, or bettter know as the crack hole, then they explode into a million pieces.

Maybe for men. There have been cases of men passing out from their pain tolerance being passed after a hit in the nuts which has sometimes lead to heart failure from the shock, killing them. But that′s because of the pain tolerance threshold being breached, the same could go for any other part of the body where you can inflict enough pain to exceed the limit. So if we think of fantasy men having such a high pain tolerance threshold as to be able to have their nuts pierced by an arrow without passing out then an arrow to the groin should not be a 1 shot kill, maybe to commoners who don′t take a lot of pain but not to hardy men who experience high pain on a daily basis and have gotten better at handling it.

Well yes its sensitive area but doubtfully necessary for vital functions of organism

Add such location damage area for Oblivion archery

Thats will be not one shot kill but really painful so granted paralyze or staggering can be done, second arrow shot into head or chest can be deadly.
Using armor is must for protecting heirlooms unless you have balls of steel :teehee:

Very few games include locational damage, and Skyrim doesn't look to be one of them.

As for wanting it to, yes, that would be nice. But of course when your opponent looks like http://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/Elder-Scrolls-5-Skyrim-Trailer-Screenshot-Armor.jpg, an arrow to just about any location is just as useless as any other. A bolt of lightning on the other hand...

It shouldn't, it should just hurt like hell.

And you could've fooled me.

One of the devs stated that players will be able to damage individual body parts; not quite in the Fallout 3 sense, however.

...

I really need to read more, there's so much I've been corrected on lately.

Anyhoo, knowing that now, I suppose a mod to make groin shots into lethal ones is in order. Just don't have it apply to everyone equally, a guy covered in plate armor is obviously exempt, whereas a Fargoth-type is obviously the best target.

Yeah, and maybe there could be a special attack where you instantly kill an enemy by farting on them or calling them gay.

Arrow to the head - boom headshot, deal. The same with other weapons. It's the head that should be the weakest part, unless it's a helm on it.

Which head?

It should incapacitate enemies, that's for sure.

Unless there's a major artery cut, and they bleed out, then it wouldn't be a fatal injury. Unless of course they get an infection afterwards. If I remember correctly, there's a perk or feature that let's your enemies bleed out after a good slashing.

I don't think it is the arrow going in that kills you it is the pulling it out that does it
