Its not *terrible* in Skyrim (archery, that is) but having done a fair amount of actual archery -- the game is lacking in some immersion aspects. Lets face it, if I put a medieval arrow into your eye socket, you simply aren't going to charge up the hill at me. You aren't going to do *anything*. If I put it in your throat, you're going to blow a spray of blood and go down gurgling. A limb shot or a body shot.... you might be enraged enough to come charging (especially if you're high on Forsworn drugs
) or at least take cover and do something about the arrow first.
Though that last bit is more of an AI issue. I like AI that exhibits some degree of self-preservation
I'm actually fine with the way daggers are handled (perks are from sneak mode not from 1h) because once you lose stealth... its really "bring a dagger to a sword/gun fight" as it really is (RUN!!! RUN FASTER!!)
