Yeah, I would rather not have excess gore in Skyrim. Although it would be cool if you slashed someone with a sword, it leaves a gash across the persons chest or something. IMO, that would be a lot better then something along the lines of FO3/NV. It only really worked in FO because of the cartoony/ultra-violent setting, where as Skyrim seems more serious, and dark then Fallout. Just sharing my 10 cents ;)
