Should there be a visual cue for critical hits?

I think it would be fun if you could see it when your attacks crit. Maybe a small splatter of blood, or a subtle knockback animation, or a cool sound, or ...

It doesn't really matter what, because I fully trust ZOS to come up with something cool.

I don't like the idea

In a fight I'm too busy fighting to care about visual signs of critical hits, in fact so long as I'm getting the damage they do I don't care about seeing them.

But if you don't care about them you wouldn't mind if they existed, right? (As long as they are subtle enough.) So why do you vote against it?

I wanted a visual for all of my damage, so that's why I downloaded a mod for it.

Because knowing ZOS it would probably add to the lag in game, that's all.

That would be awesome, actually. A good *thunk* and visual would make the combat feel better.

Only if it is really subtle, i think there are already plenty of visual effects.

If you're doing your job properly you shouldn't have the time to admire the scenery.

Make blood gush!

Speaking of criticals, can we list all the possible ways to raise critical values?

Thief Stone
Potions

My in-game time isn't my job

There are effects everywhere in the game. So, why not have a minor one to indicate a crit, be it visual or auditory. I'm in favor. Who knows, with some of the combat tweaks in 1.6, this may already be a thing.
