"Aiming for specific body parts" - feature gone??

Hello everbody
I'm enjoying the game very much but I'm a little bit disappointed about that cool feature wich I think is missing!
Back in 2013 the devs made fallowing statement:

"There's a new Monster Hunt mechanic. This apparently has you build up clues about foes using books and townsfolk talk. That information will dictate which potions you need prepare for the fight, what time of day you should seek the encounter and how you should attack. You can learn to disable a vampire's poison attack (?) by hitting its poison gland, for example, and you can kill a vampire outright if you skewer both of its hearts (!) at once."

I can't see such a feature in the final game, Have I missed something or did they really cut it out?!

Welcome to 2014 mate.

It was only ever being considered, and they decided early in 2014 not to go ahead with it.

This recent Q&A gave more info on why it was decided not to implement it:
