Line 212:
* ''[[Wizardry]] 8'' has this, even though it makes absolutely no sense. It's medieval fantasy, mostly medieval weaponry (aside from some guns and explosives), but there are maybe three or four enemies that ''don't'' explode when killed. Still, it's a great game, so gibbing a rat by ''stabbing it with a knife'' is a minor slight.
* ''[[Dungeon Siege]] 2'' does this, despite being medieval fantasy. Gibbing seems to occur if enough damage is done to push an enemy over a certain point of negative health, most likely a percentage, they will explode violently into pieces, flying every which way. While it might make sense for some of the power attacks, which deal huge damage and have effects that would warrant a violent mess, seeing an enemy explode into fragments from a single quarrel to the chest is rather absurd. The fact that every party member is usually capable of making enemies into such a mess at the same point, this can lead to some very interesting times when leading a powerful team up against a small army of inferior enemies.
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'' features a spell called Enemies Explode. It wasn't until a combat mod (Deadly Reflexes if memory serves) was released that featured a revamped system of combat complete with dismemberments and various other fatal effects where a spell was included that achieves just such an effect.
* ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldurs Gate]]'', on the Core Rules difficulty, causes anyone who is killed with massive damage (i.e. reducing them to -10 hit points with a single blow) to explode into pieces, preventing any possibility of resurrection.
* Scoring kills with a [[Critical Hit]] in ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldurs Gate]] 2'' will reduce the unfortunate victim to a shower of [[Chunky Salsa Rule]], which has the side-effect of requiring True Resurrection in place of the simpler Raise Dead for [[Player Character|Player Characters]] so slain.
