User blog:Timeoin/I just worked out why the Guards keep getting hit in the knees...

Its because Bethesda took away the Greaves! In Both The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Greaves existed, which protected the knees from damage, including arrows.

Since this isnt an armor typ anymore (there is only 4 types of armor: Chest, hand, boots, helmets), its obvious why they often get hit there.

So, is this an easter egg, albeit a roundabout one? You decide!
