Description

I spent the first 10 hours not knowing what V.A.T.S. was. My cousin explained it to me after he was done face-palming.

Vault-Tec Assisted Targeted System. It is a thing that slows down or pauses time and lets you select the specific part of the body on an enemy you want to shoot. It also gives you a list of the percentage chance of hitting that part. It is handy and a way of allowing someone not so good at the shooter part of the games to get in a good damaging shot. In Fallout 4 it is also the only way to get a critical hit.

Oh I did. Played through it several times but it did get my character killed a few times. Not the worst bug in a Bethesda game I’ve ran across. I’d say that belongs to the overwhelmingly buggy Skyrim quest ‘The White Phial’.

Honestly Fallout 3 was the only one I used VATS in much. I rather enjoyed the iron sights aiming in the later games too much to pull up VATS often. I really avoiding using it in New Vegas as I kept running into a bug with VATS where I would shoot a bunch, miss every shot, and then be stuck in that position while an enemy would hit me several times before I would get unstuck.

I too did not know about vats when I played fallout NV, but then again I only every ran up to things and beat the ever living sheit out of them with my fist. Or I used a mini-gun. But mainly I was making Mr. Torgue proud by

In my experience, F4 V.A.T.S. only (marginally) useful for a mid-to-short distances anyway. Sniping is MUCH more effective when done manually.

I’ve seen (a bit of) an LP of one of the Fallout games where they never used VATS, and the tutorial tip for how to activate VATS just stayed on the entire game - even through the credits.
