I would definitely want different locations to do more damage unless armour(Canadian didn't spell armor wrong.) prevents it. And I like the last stand idea. I would love to get my leg hacked off and lying there on the ground make my last stand to stab at the opponents genitals or heart if i can reach that high. (I will probably have daggers). That would be cool if I can throw my dagger at him in a last attempt or something.
But yeah I hope that if your first slice is right across their throat they die. Too bad there isnt any mutilations where his head comes off.
