Yes. You're the only one. In my view, VATS was only necessary in Fallout 3 to make up for its terrible gun physics. Then it became something of a staple for the series, which is ok...Kuba91 said:
VATS wouldn't fit Skyrim.
I haven't played Skyrim yet, but I still agree. Every game needs a V.A.T.S system, or a least a mod for it. Throw an explosion into someone's face, or oil/grease onto their crotch followed by a fireball. Maybe swing a broadaxe and watch their blocking arm explode. Maybe just a single well placed shot to the arm to watch it sever, flailing through the air, leaving the person armless, weaponless, and in agony...
With it comes the necessarily bloody and meaty explosion from simple bullets that Fallout gave us, but I would love to see it adaptive, where just because their arm blew off doesn't mean the person dies. It just means they start running for all hell trying to get away. Now that would be fun.

The lockpicking in Skyrim is much improved from Oblivion and Fallout, since you can now pick any lock- it's just that Master locks will break the pick as soon as you so much try to move it at lower skill levels.
Yeah.
You actually are... even the girl in the dating ad below looks unimpressed.
Skyrim is REALLY not suited for V.A.T.S, hell, i'm sure some people think that the occasinoal slow-mo executions were pushing it.
I can't beleive it... a 'Am i the only one...' thread is accurate!

There are honestly some occasions where I wish there was a vats type system for the bow, seriously shooting a deer in the freaking face and have it just dash off at lightning speed away from me is just plain annoying, it is pretty much a crap shoot trying to hit the thing when the wonky AI just takes insane paths.
I actually love the lockpicking in Skyrim, because you can pick any lock no matter what - provided you have enough lockpicks and patience. It's wicked hard, but possible.
OP: Lol i actually thought about this today at work. It would absolutely not work but it would be pretty funny.
I bet you anything someone could find a way to mod it in there though
Oh well i guess that is the challenge of it but meh!

Yeah it's much better but i had a pretty big problem with it. How precise you have to be! My lockpick will break with it almost unlocked, so i move it over a smiggen. Then the next one breaks, so i move it back half of that. It finally unlocks but it's ridiculous being barely a mm off makes it break.Susan Arendt said:

Yeah, I don't think that it would work that well, in fallout it was primarily based on shooting, in this...not so much.
Hey, I'm not hating on Skyrim, I think it's on of the best game I've played in years. I'm just musing over how a V.A.T.S.-like mechanic might improve my personal experience with the game, and was curious weather I was the only one.Sizzle Montyjing said:

That would make any sort of aiming with the bow obsolete, render actually looking for an enemy obsolete, and put the game into babys 1st game mode, vats only worked for fallout because the majority of the weapons were ranged, and the actual gun play was quite terrible, so vats was needed
NO YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
I've always LOVED the V.A.T.S. system for combat (The newer one, not the older fallouts). It allows the fights to feel epic and work the way I need them too.
I don't think it would be fair in Skyrim however.

Honestly? I never enjoyed the vats system. I rarely used it and don't think it adds to a game. There are other systems like this (See the splinter cell convictions executions) That I think work better. I loved every other bit of fallout 3/NV but I did not feel VATS was a necessary feature.
While we are talking about Skyrim i would like to congratulate bathesda on making lock picking even more frustrating than Fallout 3's system.
Thanks Bathesda!
OT: i have found the Boone of skyrim its Aranea Lenith she's pure overkill she basically destroys blood dragons before i have the time to get close to them and bash them with my mace.

You do realise that VATS is fallout right?
I do think it would look cool but that's what the killing moves are for. VATS is what makes fallout unique (gameplay wise anyway). Any elder scrolls game with VATS would just be weird. It would become too easy and hand holdy.
