Am I the obly one who thinks Skyrim should have V.A.T.S.?

You could very well be the 'obly' one, the only one? Probably not, there might be some weird people who'd want a automated targeting system in a TES game...
V.A.T.S. in Skyrim is the worst idea I have ever heard. It's like simply putting in a "Press x to kill" button. In Fallout I never used V.A.T.S. with melee weapons, not even for the "special moves", it was pointless.
VATS was actually derived from Fallout 1 and 2, where you were able to hit specific bodyparts and they wanted to keep it as RPG-part(see all the perks for it)/more cinematic staging.Octogunspunk said:
OT: Skyrim doesn't have the same physics as the newer Fallout games and it is not necessary to focus on specific bodyparts - therefore it doesn't fit into the current gameplay
wow wtf were you thinking when you posted that? Jetpacks?krazykidd said:
As I said Skyrim is an rpg with stats and the like. Remember how rpgs have always played, you know with dice, chance to hit, chance to crit etc. Thats what VATS is. Its a dice roll. I see no reason to not include it.
Way to take it the wrong way...
Edit: probably just for ranged weapons though, I never used VATS in fallout 3 for hand to hand
I do miss being able to use V.A.T.S to identify someone from afar but it just wouldn't fit in the mostly-melee world unless they shoved in some awkward explanation involving magic. Skyrims arrows and spells will never be so bad that we need a targeting system.

Funny thing, when I began Skyrim I would occasionally try to scout ahead by tapping the "V" key.
It became a habit.
Damn you Bethesda for being so awesome.
Nah. I'm not even fond of the way the camera occasionally switches to third-person for finishing moves. Much more visceral to see your character doing the damage from a more intimate perspective.
It was done with an old game called "Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader" back when Black Isle still owned the Fallout franchise. It worked out okay, but it made combat way too easy because you'd always pick critical hits in a particular order. Not having a dual or quad core or disposable income, I wouldn't be able to assess if the same problem would happen with Skyrim, although I suppose it could be modified if necessary.
If a dragon is legitimately taking the piss and refusing to land/stop moving I kind of wish I could stop time and lightning bolt it's wings a few times.
I waited for something like this. There has to be a mod that tuns a bow and arrow into different styles of assault rifle. If there is, I must have that mod.
