V.A.T.S. doesn't work anymore even though it worked fine before I installed the F2RP what happened and how do I fix it.

There is no VATS in Fallout 2.

» Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:11 pm

It's called combat. VATS is the term given to Fallout 3's turn-based combat, inspired by the system used in the earlier games. However, in Fallout 1 and 2, there's no fancy name for it.

Anyway, no idea what's wrong. Did you put in the latest official and then unofficial patch first?

Fine I won't call it V.A.T.S. I'll call it the thingy where you can c a green thingy over your enimies and target certain parts of their body after I updated I couldnt do it any more. By the way I have the high resolution patch and the official patches and killaps [atch

You haven't, by any chance, picked the 'Finesse' trait for your character, have you?
(just to make sure)

EDIT... whoops... not finesse - I meant fast shot... fast shot trait...

good point rebet, however finesse still allows you to use aimed shot. Perhaps you mean the "fast shot" trait?

Yeah I do have that trait is that y I cant aim?

yeah, read it's discription:

If you don't want to click the link i'll quote the important part:

You don't have time to aim for a targeted attack, because you attack faster than normal people.

thats why unlike FO3 it's IMPORTANT to read what the various traits and perks do before picking them.

Trait's have a good side and a bad side.

I picked that on my first FO1 playthrough. Bad idea. I thought my inability to use an aimed shot was a bug or something.

Thats why in FO2 I just pick up the Bonus rate of fire perk later on. you get the -1 AP for ranged weapons but can still aim. Nothing like a double tap to the groin to really bring the pain!
