I don't know about you, but I liked throwing rocks at children's groins before paying a prostitute for dirty sex in Fallout 2. If that disturbs you, that's YOUR problem.
Shooting people in the dick was the best part of Fallout 1 and 2.
So fun having a high Perception, High Small Guns, and a Sniper rifle.

Dickshots galore.
She takes it like a man - that is to say, it hurts.
So, I heard about this neat trick in F1 or F2, something about how the BB Gun was the ender of all life if one targeted the eyes. Any truth to the matter?
I can't believe that Bethesda removed the more specific targeting areas of the previous games. It sounds amazing. If I could be tagging people in the crotch with my shocksword, you can bet your ass it'd be the only thing I do. I'd fire all my companions just to make sure the kill shot is always the crotch shot.
I know F: NV is bringing in the "Fore!", but that isn't universal, is it? Its still the generic limbs/torso/head system, huh? Ah well, someone'll mod in the extra kill zones.
Also, as far as I know, no word has been said about DLC for F: NV. Has anybody heard otherwise?
And I just started playing Mass Effect. I just can't get Fallout 3 out of my head. 8 hours into ME and haven't touched F3 since, but all I can think about is super mutants and rad scorpions.
Edit: They need a "cancel VATS" button, too. Nothing is more annoying than watching your 95% shot hit a fucking car and blow it up in your face. Or just go to waste on the slight edge of a fridge. To hell with that noise, I want my cancel button when I have 7 more shots, and I know they're all going to hit nothing.
Edit: Also, targeting projectiles. I always hated that I can have a dead bead on a grenade or missile thats meters, if not a a good 10 meters away (you know, when a raider sees you across a flat plain, and you just hop out of the way), and the chance is always 0% once its in motion. Nothing could possibly feel more badass than shooting down missile after missile just to waste the enemies' ammo, so you can punch 'em in the face.

In truth, anything to the eyes in F1 and F2 was an ender of all life.

Yes, it's all low-res and scripted and it doesn't have any of those fancy ragdolls kids these days like to play with, but you literally cannot beat:
It's best with the railway rifle. It's all slow-mo on the guy then his head just vanishes.
Talk about the Wild West. I love that gun. The train whistle sound is perfect when you're tearing around as a sheriff. Makes me want to shout "Last stop!" as their heads fly backwards, pinned against the environment.
Are there mods that do any of these things:
Add a cancel button
Puts in those old animations from prior games (I saw the plasma one in the OP)
Allows for more specific targeting
Because that would pretty much define a perfect VATS system.
Edit: I'm actually pretty tired of the generic gibs. It makes me head-shots feel less professional and cool. I love when I get a perfect hit that just takes the head clean off, or a laser beam that just drops them on the spot, no ashes.

I love any explosive death in FO3 because it's totally like a bad action movie.
I only used Mysterious Stranger on my first play through. Quite useless, really. He shows up plenty, but always for the last shot, a shot you could've taken yourself and saved the spot for a better perk.
Yea, the Stranger just slows me down once I get to the point where I can walk into a room and headshot 5 Raiders before they've even got out of their seats.
Yeah, Mysterious Stranger was fucking useless my last playthrough. He's show up maybe, maybe once every 20-30 enemies, and he's usually only show up after I'd blown an enemy's head off, extending the animation out another 5-10 seconds while he just poured round after round into the corpse. Fucking worthless perk.

I think he means cancel it once you've hit the "Execute" button.
Yup. Its the dumbest thing I can imagine, not having a cancel button. Mostly because VATS turns a 95% into lead primer for the cars.
Yeah, that's one of my few complaints about the game. You have what looks like a nice clear shot on a supermutant, queue up 5 attacks, and let er rip, only to nail some railing or column 5 times.
Just started Fallout 2 again, with an unarmed built character. Nothing more satisfying than kicking giant ants five feet away, punching a big bloody hole in the Rat God, and beating a robot to death...with my bare hands. *inhales* Yup, life is good.

I know people were talking about the text descriptions, but the funniest thing I encountered in killing a guy was while watching my brother play the game. He punches a guy in the eyes and we watch that one-arm-missing-and-a-chunk-of-torso-blown-out animation and my brother exclaims, "Oh fuck! I missed!"
And hitting people with sledge hammers in fallout 2 and watching them slide more spaces than you can run in two turns.

*Eating your severed mutant toe* "You just ate your own fucking toe!!!"
*Killing an NPC named Kenny* "You killed Kenny...YOU BASTARD!"
I have one problem, though. I'm addicted to a drug in game called Sativex. It makes the world all bright and the colors really beautiful. I love wandering around under its effects, or sometimes some of the other few drugs with "Euphoria" in the description, so much that I'm having trouble keeping them in stock!
Screenshots:
If F3 was that vivid normally, I'd be all types of giddy. Thats great. Once I finish my current play through I've gotta get some of these mods. I'm going to try things that make the world itself better, instead of changing actual mechanics. Bright colours, clear skies and green trees.
I know this is a rather old post, but is there any way to get the game to look like that without having to pop drugs every two minutes? It's kinda awesome looking.
The mod Fellout removes the green tint from the game and makes it look a little like that. Other than that, just turn up all the settings on your monitor, I guess.
Kill Three Dog. Everybody. Kill Three Dog. Listen to Galaxy Radio News.
Its good times, I assure you.
Thats probably nothing knew, but I got a kick out of it. I finally finished my extermination of the Wasteland. Every town wiped (from the Republic to Girdershade), every stronghold wiped (from Outcast to Brotherhood), and stole every key I could from every corpse I could. I bet I could unlock the gates to Hell at this point. My Wasteland purge is complete, only Jericho, Fawkes (because killing him just doesn't happen), Dogmeat and the stupidly unkillable essential characters (seriously? Dr. Preston is essential? How?), remain to tell the horrible tales. Then again, Dogmeat and Jericho helped me perpetrate my reign of terror, through Auto Axes, in-bed kills and exploding pants.
Essential characters are starting to really piss me off. Kids, adults, don't care. There isn't a reason my massacres need to turn all awkward because someone's pants refuses to go off in a Nuka-Cola based fire.

Fucking worthless perk.
There were enough times where I took a potshot across a river trying to hit some mutants behind cover with a 1% chance of success, missed every shot, then he'd suddenly appear right behind them and rain down the justice needed to make it worth it.
Come to think of it, he really was pretty much the VATS cancel button- sure, you just wasted a clip on that cement corner, but at least he would pop in and give you the results you needed.
Also hearing his intro music play then watching the game freak out for 30 seconds while trying to jam him somewhere impossible- it's jankiness like that that makes Fallout Fallout.

I went back and put a bullet in Three-dog after he started talking too much shit about me on the radio.

Could you spoiler what happens when you kill him? Don't have game running properly right now, and I'm curious.
Margaret (?) takes over, she is the cleaner, she talks a HELL of a lot less and isn't annoying, she references "some asshole" shooting 3 dog a little iirc.
Exactly as above, except I couldn't believe it existed. Bethesda isn't the best at anticipating player actions, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out I was being lied to about shooting Three Dog. Well, Bottlecap-mining him.
One thing I learned while being a big meanie was that I love bottlecap mines. I looooooooooooooooooove them. They're so satisfying. KA-BLAM! PLING-PLING GOES THE CAPS! Oh, it gets me every time. I just wish I could Shady Sands Shuffle essential characters, not to kill them, but just so I could do it until I'm completely out of explosives, and just see them go up into the air endlessly.
Edit:
Marget is actually a technician.

I honestly like Three Dog, never get all the complaints.
I actually really liked Three Dog. What I didn't like was the endless loops and not even nearly enough songs. My current play through is 120 hours. I'm mostly done, but still have pockets to explore. 120 hours of the same crap about Grayditch and "Oh! Evergreen!" (even though I burnt that place to the ground), etc, etc. It was mindless looping, Bethesda just... I don't know what they were thinking, developing a massive experience like this, with a pittance on the radio. Some randomized elements to the broadcasts would've been nice, maybe announcements about things other than what the PC has been up to. They just kinda dropped the ball there.
Also, after I went psycho it was hilarious having him basically telling people to spit on me in the streets as an introduction, before the individual reports in which he'd always say "Give 101 a hug and be all loveydovey with him because he's fabulous!"
I'm definitely planning to off three dog on my current evil playthough since I'm too lazy to dig my goody too shoes save files from the old pc. The game seems so much different when you walk out of the vault, head straight to megaton to talk to Tenpennys man and beeline to the tower for a fireworks display.
Also, I want to get a few mods that don't change up the game too much but just make it better. The extra music mod and maybe a couple of the visuals (fellout I think) will be used. Thoughts from folks who've tried them all will be quite helpful.

It's because if you clandestinely steal a ton of ammo/weapons/items/tin cans throughout the course of your adventures, and thus your karma goes through the floor, then the next time you're listening to the radio, Three Dog interrupts an awesome Louis Armstrong classic to inform the Capital Wasteland that you're a rampaging evil Genghis Khan-wannabe who, oh yeah, just liberated Big Town and defused Megaton's bomb - goddamn, what a sadistic bastard I am.

But in return we get 20 feet teleportations into people, quite the trade off right!

The awesome part is that you can jump off a bridge and activate vats just before hitting the ground and that teleport will keep you from dying.
