Because you play on a console? Because it's pretty damn hard to aim with the controller when I try to use it.
I use a console and never really have trouble aiming. Then again I only really game on console's and only dip into PC for game's like MineCraft. I have trouble aiming with Mouse And Keyboard.

Give me a weapon and show me the target, that's how I roll.

Well its cause they are not used to it, and then they think its hard for everyone. Ignorance i believe you call it. Many of my friends that play with me on my console (that normally use pc) can easily get used to console. Dont mind those pc players that say its hard, they just have no idea what their talking bout.
i played on console for years then i switched to pc, pc is better at aiming

My usual style is grunt, from cover to cover with automatic weapons and surprise attacks with grenades.
Although on my new brotherhood playtrough i roll with T-51B, plasma caster and a power fist. together with veronica (same gear) and brotherhood eede we are basicly walking tanks.

Sniper.. I like to play smart. Grunts and shocktroopers always first to die. Snipe.. it is safer. I like the idea of Medicine stick.. and it looks cool... but this playthrough is getting a little dull. Plus Deathclaw is killing me

Why the hell do you pc gamers have to say that consoles svck for aiming EVERY time?! The only game that i ave troubles at sniping is GTA IV cuz i cant move in it, and even then its just at sniping.
I don't have a problem using a controller. I played CoD on my 360. I play gears of war and halo on it. It's just strange using a controller for fallout for some reason. I use one for Skyrim but I can't aim with it while playing New Vegas.

I'm testing out Unarmed/ Melee in my latest character. I noticed around 6th level that I learned a new melee move, but don't see any difference except a cosmetic cinematic difference so far. It takes up just a little more AP, so maybe it does more damage.
Looks cool though. My skill just hit 50 range for both melee/ unarmed.

Bullet sniper. It almost feels like cheating when I can kill them from so far away they don't know where I am and they run around like chickens. Still, that's sometimes not possible to do, so my fallback are medium range automatic rifles or pistols. I grew to love the pistols. Definitely a gun person.

Yup. It is.
Now, you can manage just fine with a controller...it's not like you're super-gimped or something, anyone who says that is exaggerating mightily...but for fine pinpoint control/aiming/speed, keyboard/mouse is still better.

Sniping is fun but the crappy AI kills the buzz.

This. Its so ridiculous that even deathclaws have no idea where it came from. Especially with a plasma caster, i shot nearly always 2 times before actaually hitting the target and the target doesnt seem worried by two big ass plasma bolts that went very near them.

Oh I make sniping challenging. This play though I am making a covert-ops character so it makes sniping and stealth a little more invigorating. Although it is along with roleplaying so its not for everyone. I try to prevent others from seeing bodies and if they do, end them quickly so they don't report to buddys. Especially in hostage situation in Primm, I try to get in and out in 2 hour game time. This can be challenging with how fast the clock flies and try to remain stealth
