    Or is it just dumbed down?  I remember playing it back in december and when you chose to target the limbs for example, the entire body would explode.  Or when you targetted the head and you couldn't target the head anymore, the enemy would still be able and moving or sometimes the rest of the body would explode too for some unclear reason.  Or was this just because i had the bloody mess perk?

    It's bloody mess. 
     
    Or a critical hit.  
     
    IT's a design choice though, basicly when you kill someone with enough extra damage, random limbs will fly off, it's just to accentuate the gore that's all, it's not a bug or glitch and the VATS system isn't targeting a different location to the one you chose.
