There's no way in hell I'm dropping Blackhawk just because it got a booboo. Do you know who gave me that gun? The nicest lady in the world, who makes me almost shed tears thinking of her. As a pistol user, that thing has a scope. A sniper for people who don't use rifles or any other two-handed ranged weapon.

Anyway, so no VATS ever... I was thinking of starting a melee only character. I imagine that VATS would be very helpful in this case. I don't know how well the enemy AI handles a melee player, but I imagine that they would be shooting holes in me and laughing hysterically while I lumber toward them in agony and failure. Why? FWE detection script with group communication. Just projecting though. With VATS I could have warped to the most dangerous ones before they turned me into swiss cheese.
