The amount of immersion caused by that small puff of dust of the foot while running on a dusty area helps the player feel as they are actually moving the avatar in that virtual world. Someone being bunched in the mouth is much less dramatic then them spitting out a mouthful of blood and a few teeth. I could go on forever with how many options there are for us as artists to push the limits of immersion.
