I'm with this guy.

I didn't even like it in Fallout so I certainly wouldn't want it in Skyrim. And I can't think of any possible way they could justify it. At least Fallout had the Pipboy, which might explain why it worked in that game, but nothing even remotely high tech is going to exist in Skyrim.

Being able to target specific bodyparts, hopefully. A Skyrim version of VATS though? Please, no. It wouldn't fit at all.

I hope not.

Fitted well with the advanced tech they had in fallout.

We have the slow-down-time shout, so we don't need Vhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4hSfAoDcoIAhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4hSfAoDcoIThttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4hSfAoDcoIShttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4hSfAoDcoI

you mean you don't want a steampunk bracelet to go with your Dwemer Sniper rifle?!?!?!?! lol

I personally would enjoy it but the majority seems to be against it (like it was mandatory in usage or something, like fast travel is also ranted over like you HAVE to use it if its available), but we will have finishing moves, which will be cool I think, as long as we dont get companions that get them too, and cause you to spin away from oncoming enemies, like it does in fallout3 and falloutnv, JMO

we could have a vats like system, without a pip boy,.... how very narrow minded of some of you guys,... I am sure they gonna have an alien mod also they gonna add later *sarcasm* (for those of you who never seem to recognize it)

Adding V.A.T.S would turn the elder scrolls into fallout. Leave it for fallout!

Despite me liking the vast system.

I do hope there is not in this game, a Good Adrenaline system with slow motion, and build up finishers could be cool.

Vast worked well with log range attacks, and aiming but with a lot of melee combat it’s kind of annoying. And I have done a lot of melee characters in FO3-NV.

A good slow time effect should be enough, and looks like we will have First person Finishers so that should be cool!

I think they said that the special 'killing blows' will be slowed down a bit. But no, can't pick body parts while paused.

I'd be okay with a modified version of it.

There's already a 'magnetism' feature, so a VATS-like system would be redundant and very stupid.

Fallout yes, TES no. The clue is in the title. Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System. There are no vaults - it works in Fallout because it is set in the future and is designed around a piece of technology. There would be no plausible reason to be able to implement it in TES, i wouldn't want it.

I think vats finishing moves would be good for tesvi

I certainly hope not. It worked well in Fallout, but it won't work in an Elder Scrolls game.

Vats made fallout 3 a boring game

No VATS, thats spcific to the Fallout universe not all Bethesda games.



It has already been confirmed that there is a sort of auto targeting for strikes (melee, magic and marksman) that will reduce the friendly fire in large battles.

To be fair, this was your idea. You suggested VATS (which as someone said is based on fallout tech). What do you suggest that's VATS like? I mean, what would the pause and target be a product of, if not the pip boy?

As would I. It brings in more of the RPG mechanics I like and moves away from the action style that ES has become. But I'd rather they not have it and just use the die rolls to hit for every attack.

A basic representation of your characters skill. The pause timer could be based on what weapons you have equipped and the related skills for those weapons.

I'd definitely do some nerd-raging if some hideous VATS-wannabe abomination got snuck into Skyrim. :sick:




Oh really? Then please allow me to be of assistance. Just apply a little rocket science (as in typing "VATS" into the forum search bar at top right) and let's see what we find. Oh look, a "do you want VATS in Skyrim" thread with a poll!

159 votes cast, and the results?

YES (10 votes [6.29%]) Percentage of vote: 6.29%
HELL NO!!! (149 votes [93.71%]) Percentage of vote: 93.71%

I don't know how you define such things, but I'd say over 90% voting one way fits most definitions of "majority" pretty well.

I thought the pip boy was what showed you the percentages. The number was based on your character's skills, but the pip boy was what gave you the ability to see those numbers. I'm asking what part of a bow shows me stats? Or are you saying that there wouldn't be an in game item for this, but rather it's just a mechanic to stop time and pick your shot?

Meh. It just wouldn't feel like TES to me.

I agree no VATS

ya vats ruined fallout for me
