Combat Gore

[FearLess]

I just got the full version today and let me tell you I love this game. It's great so much fun. But I just thought of a few cool ideas that would make this game look alot more cooler in combats.
1) Maybe when you swing and hit enemies in the head you can cut their heads off? Just seeing it now rushing in with horses into the first line of battle and you take someones head off. Would be pretty sweet.
2) Adding alittle more blood when you attack. Something like blood splatter. Example: Troops run into each other and start fighting, blood splatter starts going up into the air, on the armor and shields.
These are just some more realistic combat features that would be really sweet to have. Maybe you might think it would be to violent for younger players. But maybe there could be a patch for the older and more mature players that would add features such as these.
Anyways thats all i thought of today. Comments guys and try not to flame

There's a massive thread here discussing gore which may be of interest: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,3027.1005.html

Personally I don't understand the appeal in graphic violence but each to their own.

Why does everyone want heads to fly off?

Why does everyone want heads to fly off? 

Because we are men?
"Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bull****. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight." - George S Patton

Now take out americans, replace defend your home with "Because they have something we want" and a lack of many of todays morales and you got medieval times combat... oooo and NO joining limitations so, the village retard, jack the ripper, ANYONE (except women) could and HAD to join. Ever wonder why someone once said "I admire snipers, they never have to truly look their victim in their eye"? In medieval combat, if you were front line, you had nothing but a blade in your hand (if you were lucky) and a murderorous rage burning in your heart, so when you killed, you KILLED.

But as to why for us? Its fun watching the havok engine at work (look up elder scrolls oblivion on youtube, half the highrated videos are fun with havok engine movies)

Don't ask me why because i really don't know why. But just seeing blood when you hit people and the chance to cut off there heads in battles just makes me like the game more. Its more entertaining i would say.

Hell yes me wants more gore! as for the concern to younger players there should be a patch or on/off option in the menu.

Make the patch have a seperate ToS that says when you click it you agree (for different regions you are different ages)

I guess you live in the 'burbs.

I admire snipers, they never have to truly look their victim in their eye

What this person doesn't realise is that snipers must be calm and calculating, while someone on the frontlines is largely driven by adrenaline.

To be honest, I'm rather disgusted with the whole exploding heads and severed limbs sort of thing.

That's why resident evil 4 was always rather creepy for me.

It's not like I can't handle it... But it's just disgusting. But sure, why the heck not, let's add it. But I'd like it to be able to turn it off.

1. Medieval morales were "If he ain't a noble, put him on a rack, torture him for days until he confess' to a crime he didn't commit, and then cut him open and take out his organs like coins from a purse" We've gotten a bit more refined (a bit) then in medieval times

2. Thats exactly my point. lol

Different cultures had different ideas.. In medieval times all cultures were not the same.

But honestly if you guys want to discuss this why not do it in the right place?
