Alright, if you don't like VATS, don't use it. Ditto for pipboy in combat. I agree it takes a bit away from the realism, but the game was never meant to be highly realistic in the first place. It's like a fantasy game for the most part. My two cents are that the game rocks, one of the best games I've ever played. I bought it for the PC and it was such a glitchy piece of **** for that that I bought a 360 just for that game! If RPGs are your thing, I'd definitely suggest getting that. What is it now, like 20 bucks? Heard it's a platinum hit. Goddamn, I bought it for like 3 times that. GREAT GAME.It's basically Oblivion but you're in a nuclear wasteland. The main difference between Oblivion in this is the game has an extremely cheap "ability" called VATS. Lets say you're exploring the countryside. Normally you have to put points into perception which allows you to spot enemies faster. Nope, with VATS you can pan around while traversing the countryside and VATS will target enemies on the other side of the map. Equip your sniper rifle or lazer and you can take all kinds of free shots while the enemy is beyond normal vision.
Let say you're exploring a sewer come around the corner and oops you're looking at a Deathclaw. Normally this would mean death. Oh wait you can stop all time and click VATS, target its face for three shots to the head with some kind of heavy weapon and most likely splatter it.
Lame, lame, lame.
Its like having a God ability at the click of a button.
Health get low ? Oh you can access your PIP Boy (Inventory) and stop all time and heal to full. LAME.
Fallout fanboys will come back with WAAAAH it was in Fallout 1 & 2, and it was lame there too. They'll also say, its an option you don't have to use it.
They should've made VATS an ability you gain at high level, one that can only be used briefly. They should also have made it so the PIP Boy (inventory) cannot be accessed while in combat.
Other then that its a good game.
