I miss "Sever on break"

I miss seeing parts flying everywhere leaving a streak of blood, and goblins exploding when they get struck with enough violence.

Bring it back please Toady :(

You forgot a detail: Dorfs get webbed in GCS webs and trigger traps. Right now we have some 12 caged dwarves, including you.

All the stuff you mentioned still happens. Sever on brakes just meant the parts would fall off when broken instead of needing to actually be severed. however it is missed, since colossi and similar dont break when broken anymore.

Sever on breaks would be useful for colossi. In theory you can still kill them if you destroy the head, but because there are so many possible targets most of the hits won't land on the head to destroy the head. If you can remove limbs, eventually the only possible targets will be head or torso, so 50% of hits would be potentially lethal.

Much higher odds of getting that lucky critical to kill it outright if your possible target list doesn't include first toe left foot, second toe left foot, third toe left foot...
