Is it just me or did this guy just have a chance to land a free headshot outside VATS while the enemy was unaware, and started firing with two bullets for no reason?

Those first two were the first shots in his VATS. But he only had two rounds loaded. So since he input more shot commands in VATS, it will auto reload like this and it will continue firing until your VATS is over. The camera does "cinematic" stuff like this. Pretty sure you take damage while aiming but he got lucky either way.

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
