More cinematic, “NV Slowmo Bullet Flyby in Vats” by Rafahil allows the camera to follow the bullet in slow motion when kill someone in VATS with a fatal headshot.ĭo you use one of these mods? Do you know other ones? What do you think of VATS basically? I'm curious to know your opinions. “Perception and VATS Accuracy Overhaul Mod” by Jodwig fix the VATS range imprecision in a roleplay perspective: with a decent perception, you can hit NPCs from long range. Some other mods have great assets, like “FNV Fast VATS” by Azarel123, which removes slow-motion in VATS mod and adds normal damage to the player (optional). So I have finally decided to not use it for now. Arwen and her “Arwen_NV_Realism_Tweaks” greatly overhaul VATS working (and the whole game) but this challenging mod is not easy to use in conjunction with weapon and armor mods and the DLCs are not included. I found several mods on the Nexus which modify the concept to create something more consistent. Concerning VATS in F4, I think it is a bad compromise between the old active pause and the modern FPS standards. Melee characters can even teleport themselves to strike NPCs… But from another side, shooting in VATS from range is almost impossible, and auto-aim doesn’t fix things when you play a sniper character… FNV introduced some feeble improvements but didn’t change this main feeling of omnipotence. Ennemies are less fast than the PC so they can’t really counterattack and the player is almost invulnerable in this mod. I have always considered VATS as a sort of cheat. It is a tactical approach that I enjoy very much.

I like the RPG concept of the active pause which allows the player to calmly prepair his attacks without the FPS urgency. However, I think VATS has much potential, even if I agree to say that the vanilla system is rather broken. As I can see in videos and comments, many players adopted the bullet time feature from Project Nevada and it may be an interesting choice indeed.

Hi fellows, I just wondered if you do use VATS in your games.
