It's kind of like this: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/11/19
But you know, shooting some random raider's head clean off is still there, and still awesome.

Also, does Gabe not know that base-building is key to setting up artillery support? The more mortars you establish, the more effectively you can kill stuff!
I knew that VATS was in the game because I have played FO3 and NV, but I had to open the keybinds page and look up how to do it because I missed the tutorial.
The only thing I initially missed was the power thing on settlements and that was more on me. The button to do that was right there on the screen in front of me to be fair.
Hold Reload button to lower/holster weapon.
Hold Pip Boy button to activate flashlight.
Defensive checkpoints/towers don't contribute to Defense unless a settler is Assigned.
While in Build mode, use the talk button on a settler in order to get the option to Assign that settler to a position (food or defense structure).
In this way you can Assign a settler to run a Trade Route to another settlement, and thereby share resources.
This is the source that the comic references, by the way. Note paragraph 3.

I was raised on instruction booklets and NES games, so maybe I'm used to looking up keybinds and reading things, but I'd rather do that than slogging through in-game tutorials.
New mechanics like base building definitely should have some clear tutorial/instructions though. Even though I usually love it, most people don't have time for DF/Nethack levels of mechanical obscurity.
There's switches, and all kinds of other stuff to add to your power grid. That's above my pay grade at this point.

It wouldn't be a big deal except having your gun out affects how people respond.
