Just a little bit to add more realism in the game.

I second this proposal

Yep, having an option to choose how much gore you want would be nice, but, other than scarring, I thought Oblivion was just fine. I don't need to see decapitation, dismemberment, blood and guts flying all over the place. Seems to me that that belongs more in an FPS. I, for one, would appreciate a game with an emphasis on thinking and less on fighting. I'm OK with fighting, I just don't want it to be the first and only option.

Yes. A little bit of gore is always welcome. Violence is violence and should be depicted as such, though I wouldn′t like to see over the top carnage like fallout. It′s a total different style.
A nice feature would be adding limb damage (like fallout) and if the hp of that limb reached 0, it would show injuries, make the npcs drop their weapons, limp or even loose their heads .

I want to see it be gory enough... i agree with it adding realism. I dont like to see the enemy die the same way every time... kinda dulls the experience.

A little gore would be nice for a difference, like if you are an archer and you are fighting a Mage and you make a headshot that would normally kill anyone but instead of hitting the head it hits the shoulder and he is like
"AWW my shoulder....NOW BURN FOR IT :flamethrower:

THAT AINT FUN!!!!

As well as make the undead harder/scarier to fight. I'm all for that idea right there.

OT: I want it to be realistic, but not Fallout-esque.

@mp3: Honestly! Speaking of which, I'd like the possibility of arrow headshots in Skyrim >:I

That is what i mean
