    So it's nearly guaranteed that VATS will make a return to Fallout 4 because it's a staple of the franchise. What refinements and improvements do you want to see to the system? It's always worked as intended, but it has felt clunky and unintuitive to say the least. What needs to change?

    I'd like to see a better map display. Possibly a more detailed local area map. Also the ability to leave wave points and type in a quick name for it would be nice.

    VATS has made a return once again. personally, I would have liked it better if there was no VATS at all., Imagine a realistic combat and cover based system like The Last of Us. The game would have been more immersive.

    What I really wanted to change was an improvement to the shooting mechanic, VATS was the only thing I actually used to attack. The gameplay I've seen looks a lot more smooth and the changing of VATS from paused time to slow motion is really going to improve the new game.

    Fighting was the only aspect of Fallout 3 I could think to improve. I'm no gaming connoisseur and I normally don't notice bugs or poor features, but the weapons just didn't feel right, hopefully it's better.

    It would be interesting in my opinion if they made it so that when you level up, you get better percentage in getting critical hits based on how much you use the VATS system. The more you use the system, the better chances you have getting good shots after you level up, like a hidden stat.

    I think that VATS does not need any changing, its a staple of the series and changing it would ruin the classic fallout feel, maybe remove VATS from hardcore mode, as the game is perfectly playable without it. The added gore in vats will surely make it better now.

    So...you want The Last Of Us but in Fallout. VATS, as a staple of the series, shouldn't be removed, and it's obvious why it's still in the game.

    I really don't think it needs any changing? VATS was great in FO3, so I doubt they'll need to reformat it or anything.
