there is a perk that allows you to drink irradiated water, a perk that makes people explode after shooting them with a pistol, a trait that makes aliens appear, a targeting system that pauses time then attacks in slow mo. stop pulling this realism BS, if fallout NV was realistic then it wouldnt be nowhere near as fun.
You could fire weapons that made people explode anyway.
Aliens already exist anyway in the gameworld.
VATS could just be what the PC does in his mind split seconds before firing, slow motion is just for cinematic effect.
No, I'm not pulling any realism [censored], because simply a Courier who has no magical powers or athelete training can't jump very high or very far. Alright with high agility you should have these increased a little but not to the extent I have frog legs.
If Fallout was more realistic it'd have more fun..."Fight for survival against terrors of the outside world" - I don't do much fighting for survival because it has been so dumbed down to a simplistic shooter with dialogue and I'm a power house millionaire hybrid by level 16
