Okay, so is it something wrong with my setup, or has this aspect of the game been seriously botched?
I have been playing for some time now, and I rarely see dropping frames or any other sign that my computer might not be up to the task of rendering the oh-so-lovely graphics of F3.
But whenever I go to V.A.T.S. to make combat (sorry, but it is just to arcade for my tastes in real-time, can't hit a barn when it's dancing all around me), the following happens:
1) I hear the good ol' "initiating combat" sound.
2) I wait a few seconds for the screen to zoom to my select foe.
3) I wait NUMEROUS more seconds until the computer courteously displays the to-hit chances and lets me rollover the target body part.
4) I mash the LMB like a madman, because just one click isn't enough to queue up an attack
5) GOTO 4
6) If I have to use the arrows to select another target, I have to do as above and patiently wait until the target switches. Or not.
Bethesda promised a dynamic and useful system, and I could imagine it, but those ridiculous delays take both the enjoyment and utility away.
Now, is this just me or are you having the same issue?
I am running version 1.0.0.12 over an 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo PC with a 512MiB Geforce 8600GT. I will patch it to 1.0.0.15 to see if it helps, but this is barbarism, I tell you...
