Headshots vs Some steel in the brain!

[Abay]

Hey guys,

Well, I understand why someone dies by an headshot from an archer. But I dont understand why they dont die when they have a pick in their brain. I use steel pick in the game and want to see them dead after I hit their brain from up for more realism.

Yeah, I got 9if. I live that moments sometimes

[Old_Sir_Agor]

making headhit in melee is 100 times easier then headshoot from some distance you know?

Good that these picks aren't strong enough already with their spammy speed and piercedmg^^


As agor said, headshot is more difficult (although it's way too easy now with the spammy bows, thx to our smart devteam) with a ranged weapon. In melee you can always aim for the head and most of the time you'll hit it. And it already deals more damage than a bodyhit, so no need for an instantkill as it is with ranged

I just support realism in the game. I am against also archery nerfs. Archery must be one of the biggest power in the game. Also Great maul effect must be nerfed cos it was unuseful in the history but it has many fans in cRPG. So, lets realism 

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

I would also love to see more realism, but then the whole mod should be made again^^

[CrazyCracka420]

Not the mod, the whole game would need to be remade for realism to actually be applied.

Also I've read more than one account of people surviving coup de grâce gunshots to the head.

I'd actually enjoy it if throwing got the same bonus to damage as archery. This happens all the time to me

Yeah, I also remember my char with 3 throwing axes on the head and alive 

[IceManX]

The thing with throwing and arrows/bolts is, sometimes it looks like they have hit the head... but didnt.
On the screenshots it looks more like the axes are stuck in the neck/shoulder.

Perhaps during the hit of the ranged weapons the person was in "swinging position", after going back in normal stance it looks like a headshot.

I dont remember exactly if it rly was the head, but it looks funny:

I think with around PT 7+ u can headshot ppl with throwing cutting weapons sometimes. But it depends on which helmet the guy is using.
Most of the time I am using a Sallet with Coif and Visor to protect me better from headhits.
Even I cant kill someone with 1 hit to the head with MW Danish and 7PS. Most of the time I need 2 or even 3.

Projectiles are only visible, after they hit the head, if they kill the victim. Headshots, that don't kill, have no visible projectiles sticking out of the head.

Those are all shoulder/torso hits in those screenshots.

They show up in the head from time to time too, but it's rare

That is a strange shoulder hit.
