why no blood?

Why doesn't blood spray from the enemy when I shoot at them? I can't find anything in the settings

EXE - Effect Textures Enhanced[www.nexusmods.com] helps. But yeah, seems like Bethesda wanted differentiate Starfield from Fallout in terms of violence.

There is no blood pooling? What are those pools of blood I see everywhere then?

Feel like I've seen blood splatter

I got shot by pirates on Umbriel, and my blood was spattered on the ice behind me. 🤣

FO4 didn't have that much blood effect. I forgot when I reinstalled it, then remembered one of my 'go to,' mods was a blood enhancer.

My theory on gore and blood is China.

A game like Fallout isn't too popular in China because they are the bad guys. China is also very particular about what is allowed in games.

Not having dismemberment and bones opens up the Chinese market. This is also of interest to Microsoft to sell Xboxs.

Instead of different versions for different countries Bethesda takes a one size fits all approach. This isn't that uncommon for many game companies.

Honestly I could see this.

Which unfortunately hurts the game quality when they're trying to make that glove fit every hand in the proverbial pot of gamers from each country and their respective censorship practices.
