Actually, I like hit locations, too. But I don't like your attitude. A d20
You could have hit location rolls only for major wounds.

Good, but surely you have more suggestions for simplifying and speeding up
roll IS a problem. A round of combat can have a player making 4 rolls
(attack, defense, damage, location). Compare this to Pendragon's two
(attack, damage). But the issue is not the player, it's the GM. The GM may
be running a dozen or so NPCs, in which case it's nearly 50 rolls per
round. And the GM is far more likely to have to look up some of those rolls
on a chart (might be running different shaped opponents, or dealing with
melee and missile fire).
the game. My ideas weren't _that_ good...
