More likely is that VATS is disabled or removed entirely. Some of the VATS script commands still work in the game and some do not. I believe modders will be able to implement the feature if it was partially taken out.

We can hope! That'd be better than the way the locational damage mod was implemented for Oblivion. I found a mod that adds damage location. I have not tested it, use at own risk skyrim.

You do realize that arrows drop in range, the crosshair doesn't necessarily tell exactly where the arrow would hit. Neck for me seem to kill them. Back of their head is the usual target for me, mostly because I either snipe from a long distance or that I sneak among darkness. Dadio View Profile View Posts. Sam the beast View Profile View Posts.
