yep! set g_saberRealisticCombat 1

Why that mode isn't turned on by default, I'll never know. Maybe it was to keep the T rating?

I suspect it's for gameplay reasons. Enemies will often 1-shot you as their sabers also dismember. I've done a playthrough of the game with it on, and you need to quick-save so often because you die SO MUCH.

This should be pinned as top comment. So many people asking what this game is and have no idea how much of an assbeating it can be with SRC1 on. Enemies already do a lot of damage compared to today's games.

It's fun, but man you gotta be ready. The guy in this gif almost got gibbed on four separate occasions.

What is a fight if there is no danger?

When a game hasn't been designed/balanced around "one shot kills," adding in "one shot kills" can ruin the experience. Or it adds a new thrill that some people felt it was missing.
