Like i said in the ladder i rather that then seeing blood spraying and coming out of the player and the mob.
The other thing to remember is that this game is going to be played by a wide variety of ages. It certainly isn't something I enjoy when I pull out Skyrim and I have to admit that would be the kind of thing I would not allow to be played for my children had that been a option when they were in their teens. I am sure other parents feel the same.

Fortunately the Japanese are in charge and they don't seem inclined to make that sort of thing as realistic as they want to go in the US.
