Quick comment, I hope skyrim sees a return of morrowind's "hitting the ground after falling" animation, you know where you collapsed and tried to absorb some of the impact with your hands, I wonder why they took that out of oblivion

Yeah that would be cool, I had actually forgotten about that.

They have at least 2 fall stagger recovery animations you can see them in the trailer. My guess is falling far might result in an animation.

If you time it right and the fall is not exceptionally high, you should be able to reduce the damage taken by rolling as well. It works IRL.

Yup. They teach you how to break fall in Judo or you'll like, die... Well, you wouldn't die per say, but I take the class with a few of my friends and they can be mean. :shrug:

Anyway I digress, I guess you could have that sort of thing in Skyrim, but it's not a must have for me.

I think that it's part of the new combat system. Not completely sure though. Sneak Attack!!!! bliviongate:

Maybe Bethesda just likes making us rub our faces in the dirt...

When you fall, you should injure yourself like that guy did in the movie 'Frozen'.

WTF! That would be brutal.

I wonder if limb damage is in Skyrim, might make for a half way decent game mechanic.

*note I haven't seen the movie only heard about it* Torn apart by wolves?

You could see his bone sticking through the skin.

Yeah, it was bad -- even for Fallout.
