Limb damage

I think it would be pretty cool If they included limb damage as they have done in fallout 3 and new Vegas, makes the game a lot more realistic and also, makes the player more weary of damage thresholds in combat.

The trailer had an anticipated rating of 18+ so it's possible. Oblivion was rated 15 here in the UK so it's certainly possible that Skyrim will be more violent, and the new engine will presumably make the violence more realistic, hence the higher rating.

I doubt it will be quite as gory as Fallout 3 though...

Stuff like this could fit in the combat thread without creating much clutter, but yeah I would like limb damage as long as it's not gory.

I would like this, but my worry would be that having limb damage would end up entailing having limb targeting (V.A.T.S.) which is something that has no place in an Elder Scrolls game.

I'd love a deadly reflex style limb damage here.

Sounds perfect...

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some form of limb damage in the game.

And if it effected combat e.g. dropping your sword/their sword, limping etc it would be welcome.
