The new critical system just forces people to use vats in order to execute them, plus all the new perks that revolve around vats exclusively seem like a huge misstep.

You're not the only one who feels that way. I want Bullet Time instead of VATS and new perks revolving around that and normal criticals.

We need Project Nevada for Fallout 4 to fix all of Bethesda's horrible mistakes.
