I might buy this game, but how does it feel to shoot? Is it clunky, and does it really take 8 headshots to kill someone. I can just up my weapon stats and make this into a shooting like game if I want to right?

Yeah you can put of your stat points in different kinds of guns if you want to. It's your choice.

The shooting feels alright as long as you have the stats for the guns you're using.

VATS makes thing easier and most of the time funnier. But it won't help you if you're looking for a great "shooter" experience.

VATS is epic but sometimes makes things too easy but this game shouldn't ever be judged just by its shooting mechanic

Im not judging by shooting alone, it is I can count the story out, because of stupid youtube somehow I so the ending without knowing until, thought it was a trailer of some kind. Guess I should actually read the title on youtube. I just want the shooting to be decent, as long as it is better then Haze I am good to go

Fallout 3 is a great game and the shooting is totally fine.

As for people getting shot in the head 8 times, that's possible as its an rpg, all depends on your stats and the type/condition of your weapon

If your weapons get damaged there power is affected until you repair them.

Its the best game I have played in a long time, well worth getting it.
