Meh, the iron sights thing didn't look like anything special compared to some of the stuff I've seen.

The Coyote reflex armor, various weapons, skin/hair/body mods, Enclave commander, and Night Vision goggles all seemed to be something I'd download before this.

I did like the SMG though, looked exactly like the retro Fallout sort of weapon I'd expect the main game to have.

Why do people get such a god-damn hard-on about iron sights? Almost every game I play I find Ironsights to be either a) no better or b) infinitely worse than hipshooting.

Firing via iron sights reduces your field of vision, meaning when trying to score a vital headshot you can literally only see the target if the shot is perfectly lined up... whereas when hipshooting you get the target in clear sight and can readily adjust to match their movements.

I believe in Hipshooting, and Full-Scope. Anything in between is a total waste of time.

I guess it's because it's more immersive. IRL firing from the hip is massively innacurate because you don't have a crosshair. Still, it's not a mod I'd instal, simply because installing mods can mess your installation up, so it must be very good before I'll risk it. :P

I guess it's because it's more immersive.

Thats the reason why Im loving it so much right now - my major complaint with fallout is the lack of immersion in combat. With this little toy lifes much more fun.

I would definitely agree that this would be more realistic than the VATs system. I try to not use that horrid thing, but the game practically forces it on you half of the time. :-\

I love the VATS system myself. I'm bored of the standard FPS playstyle, I've played SOO many games like that, it's just a breath of fresh air to have something different.

[Nightmare]

I rather have all three - hip shooting for the point blank manovering stuff, iron sights for the mid-range accuracy and cover hugging, and VATS for when I want to make a really big mess!

problem with fallout is that it's near impossible to hit anything without using VATS... unless you have a sledghammer >.

I seem to hit things with a relatively nice rate of success without VATS, but I dunno, maybe I'm just weird :P

If I really wanted to d/l a mod I guess I could, but meh :P
