The perk is a nod to 1 and 2 where people just exploded into a pile.

It’s a nod to Bloody Mess the Trait, which allowed critical-specific overkills to happen even for normal kills.

Sorta yeah, but critical kill even without the trait would leave and exploded body by chance.

Silly, over the top gore is a core part of Fallout.

That’s what I’m replying to, fallout has always been bloody and explosive gore is just part of the base game no traits.

Yes, but the trait Bloody Mess literally was in the first games, it was just translated into a Perk for 3 when they got rid of traits. It isn’t a reference to 1 and 2 being gorey, it’s a literal named continuation of the Bloody Mess trait in perk form.
