After finally vanquishing the Berserker Queen of the Elves who ran at me unarmed and defeated me a nearly endless amount of times, I finally was able to defeat her with the use of throwing spears and a rather insanely well trained Dark Drow companion. I then started anew as a Berserker and found quickly that for some reason ALL things die in one hit if you aim for the lower body with any moderate cutting weapon. I mean things would be injured with hit to the torso but slashes at the lower body would always cleave them in twain, was just wondering why the torso and the lower body are so different and why it is impossible cut people in half if you aim for the torso?
I even did some SCIENCE!!! and pumped my strength up really high to test if it was possible to dismember a torso, I didn't prove possible. So I guess my question is why does the lower body act more like an addition to the torso rather than being essentially just the top and the bottom of the same entity?

I presume it's hard because there's a ribcage in the way if you slash at the upper-body, but the lower body is just the vertebrae. Maybe. DF biology is weird.

It's a quirk of the coding. The upper body is essentially the 'root' body part, to which all others are attached. As such, it cannot be severed, as it would need to removed from itself.
