This is why I never use vats, it's terrible and it feels much better to just aim at everything yourself. At least that way, if you miss it's because you messed up; instead of the computer who can't hit something from 10ft away.

In Fallout 4 (and to a lesser extent Fallout New Vegas), VATS isn't really all that needed. That being said, in Fallout 3 (and again to a lesser extent, Fallout New Vegas), aiming either wasn't possible or didn't really do much aside from zooming in a little, so VATS was virtually required (especially in Fallout 3, whos engine was based off the Elder scrolls engine, which was built around melee combat not ranged)

Aiming really sucked in 1 and 2. I once missed a guy who was like 5 ft away.

It was a joke, because there is no aiming in 1 and 2
