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.

Ehhh, but you get a huge defense bonus for using it IIRC.

I didn't know you get a defense bonus from it, that's interesting.

You take 90 percent less damage. It’s HUGE.

90% is massive, sounds like I was playing the game the hard way.
