Btw the bloody screen is only in the 1st person camera right it won't be in the 3rd person view?

It is rather silly, there are better, more original ways for the screen to scream "U DED BRO!"

Just reminds me too much of an FPS game rather than an RPG. The bloody screen has always bugged me, I prefer just having a health bar.

Uh actualy. When you get injured or suffer blunt force trauma to the head, ur vision starts going black.

Have you ever passed out? or been hit realy hard?

And some times you even see stars.

But I dont want that in a game.

Black Out - Yet another mod.

Im just gonna make the screen go dark.

I'm fairly sure you can turn it off.

I agree, it not realistic and to me its annoying. Perhaps if the pc wore glasses then it would make sense.

That's true it is a little pupil. I don't get it how so many games can have so much blood in pupils. If i get a hit to my head i don't shouldn't get blood on my pupils, my vision should get blury and darker, i have harder to see.
I do agree with Donke.

Alright, I might have used wrong words. But unless "some criticism" becomes a "major backlash" - you are stuck with this. As well as I'm stuck with no spears and crossbows. We've got much in common :T

You should try wearing glasses in the rain, or when you slit somones throat , i can hrdly see a thing.
Beth have it just right for those of us who wear glasses.

Cos a health bar is more real.

I like it, it turns the combat more visceral, and compensates the fact that there is almost no HUD information on screen.

They could put a watermelon in front of you instead, it would be equally realistic, practic and amusing. You can't compare this with the health bar. The health bar tells you how injured you are, while this aberration's only info is that you have been hit. As surelly there would be other indicatives of that this is a totally useless feature.

It's less "not real" than having a blood splattered pane of glass hanging in front of your eyes. (If you did get blood in your eyes? You'd be blinking them shut from the stinging, and unable to see. You wouldn't get a bunch of obvious bloodsplatter in your vision.)

As much as I hate the whole "oooh, immersion!" stuff, I have to admit that the blood-on-screen is LESS immersive than a health bar.


(Also, we're playing an RPG. We have numbers for things and ratings. We know that we have 150 hitpoints. We don't need a "WW2 Shooter"-like no-health-bar, no-HP damage system. I mean, if we go with the Blood-On-Screen system, we should also go for the full action-game "duck behind cover for 5 seconds to recover all your health" system, right?)

Something I could do without, but probably will have no problem living with. Maybe a sign of FO:NV style poison blurring, which I am all for.

It's part of the whole "hit shader" implementation guys.

Back a long time ago, many games used a red flash and a dull blur effect to simulate getting hit. The blood splatter is just an updated idea behind this gaming concept to keep the player aware they are being attacked.

Should there be a toggle? Most definitely, because it is something very simple to put in an options menu. Countless other games have it, and some also offer various colors for this gimmick as well. So maybe someone should tweet the guys and let them know people want that as an option for their gaming pleasure.

TBH, I feel most of the people who are going to play Skyrim on consoles probably play CoD, so they'd probably be used to blood on the screen.

Guys, the blood is not an indication of how much health you have. It goes away without healing.

Basically, see it as if blood is in your eyes.

agreed

I am on a console and I want the blood on the screen.


That, too.

Thank you for sharing my opinions and ideas.

Fixed.

It's not at all realistic. Yeah, blood would splash everywhere--but it wouldn't look like it was splashed on your monitor screen from the inside, unless all those helmets have a glass visor.

It looks silly.

Of course, as has been mentioned in various threads before, blood in your eyes doesn't work/look like that.

You speak for all is console users do you?Heres a tip,don't presume,or think you speak for all of us. :facepalm:

yea, but Skyrim isn't real life, I would like to keep it that way, I do not like the blood splatter, take it out

I'm more concerned about getting a fading Hud. mhmmmmm
