I don't f**king need to level up to be able to hit targets 100 yards away. In the head. All I need is a good weapon and a scope. That's what Stalker is about. I massacred the army roadblock with a pistol early in the game using some established army-styled tactical movements (run in, bang bang, you're dead, run out and bandage myself, rinse and repeat). I massacred the whole army base with just the Viper (and a lot of bullets) in the same style before I even got to Agropom.

And just imagine if I had to level-up to be able to aim or deal reasonable damage. I'll still be paying shitloads of money to the army guys just to get through the roadblock.

That's the reason why I love the concept of STALKER more than F3 - a Fantastically F*cked-up Flop.

I am a fan of turn-based and I was also a big fan of shooters since the days of Duke Nukem and Quake. Heck, last time my clan used to dominate the cybercafes of petaling street in Q3A, HL and CS. So trust me when I say this, if I can hit a target 100 meters away while turning 180 degrees in midair using a railgun, I am pretty confident that I can hold my own in any shooter game.

But in FO3, seems like nothing I do actually works. The graphics is choppy (maybe its because of my card... I'm using 8600M GT), meaning shooting in real time would be hard at best. So enter VATS. But no! It can only work in close to mid range (which is ridiculously close, like shooting from ground floor to third floor MAX). So in the end I stuck with shotguns for close range and sniper rifle for long range. And because sniper rifle bullets are scarce, I usually maneuver my way taking cover and so on to get close enough to gib 'em with the shotgun.

So yeah, 90% of the time I'm using the shotgun just because there's no guns more worthy than it (don't even get me started with the minigun...).

I've completely ditched VATS btw. Kinda regretted maxing my agility. Should have maxed charisma, intelligence and strength instead. Perception, agility and luck are practically useless.
