More like they didn't make it a glorified cheat mode, that thing was bad in FO3.They tweaked VATS somewhat
They did a middle ground between 1+2 and 3 with every other.Had it backwards, they changed perks from every level to every other level in NV
you mean your 100 small guns character could actually hit stuff reliably with small guns even if you as a player were crap at FPS combat? That'S not a cheat mode, that's core RPG gameplay, and removing that from FONV kinda sucked. Basically every shot that wasn't almost point blank you had to do yourself. 10 yard distance and your 100 guns character became a Storm trooper, spraying an entire magazine into the mojave desert with a 20% chance to hit.More like they didn't make it a glorified cheat mode, that thing was bad in FO3.

Maybe it's a later patch. I just replayed FO NV last week pretty much completely and the VATS is flat out useless for medium distance shots. The accuracy goes way down, even with highly accurate weapons such as rifles.I don't remember that being the case at all, tbh.
Maybe something's screwy in the German version - wife is playing it right now on PS3, and with an almost starting out character she's getting 80%+ chances on guys a good distance away with everything she's using. (And her small arms doesn't seem to help it FYI - seems that's still just damage in NV at least similar shots didn't change substantially with a level up she just had)Maybe it's a later patch.

I preferred the shooter style partly because VATS in FO3 was a glorified cheat mode.The reason I like VATS is solely because it is an attempt to sort of recreate the original games' combat systems in the 1st/3rd person shooter set up.
4 will improve the model by not nearly completely freezing time while VATS goes off.
They need to bring back being able to target eyes and groin though badly.
Its not perfect though, and there's plenty of reason to dislike it if you weren't a fan of the original games, or prefer a more straight shooter style experience.
It pretty much is, yeah.I preferred the shooter style partly because VATS in FO3 was a glorified cheat mode.
I agree, but modders fix this issue for the most part. At least adding it in and putting in some varied effects. There needs to be special dialog involved when you power fist someone straight in the nuts, modders have a harder time doing that with voices and such.They need to bring back being able to target eyes and groin though badly.
Agree big time.VATS not letting you target body parts with melee or unarmed was really lame. I hope they fixed that shit in FO4, because it wasn't something that could be modded.
