There is an option to turn off the kill cam. I know I always used it after the first couple of times... Repeated death animations get boring. Especially as you said, when you are getting swarmed. It should be noted too that Fallout 3/NV isn't actually a First person shooter either. It's an RPG wrapped in a FPS wrapper. But the actual mechanics on whether you hit your target or not are based on your combat skill, not your aim. Especially in 3, where you could miss a target you had dead to rights, crosshairs on their head from a dozen feet away and watch the bullets veer off. Or conversely, when you hit level 100 you apparently load your guns with homing missiles... New Vegas added iron sights and better aim vs dice mechanics hitting, but it was still there. I actually tend to shoot a lot more without VATS in NV than I do in FO3, where I abuse it ridiculously. Especially at higher levels with the right perks you can have virtually unlimited action points (killing a target in VATS refreshes your action points with on perk). Your fights tend to go from 'Mad Max' to 'Matrix' at that point...

Sorflakne:
So how about favorite weapons?  Mine would have to be the mundane but ever trustworthy laser rifle, closely followed by, of all weapons, the hunting rifle.  I think I used that weapon in FO3 more than any other weapons combined.

ChaoSera:
I don't remember what I used mainly in FO:3 but I know I specialized in Energy Weapons. But in NV, once I have my Anti-Material Rifle I rarely use anything else. Killing pretty much everything with one shot from afar is fun!

LeeC:
for FO:3 the Wazer Wiffle/gatling laser. NV the tommy gun or that ranger lever action rifle whose name escapes me.

Neko_Ali:
I prefer to shoot from a distance myself... When I could with a sniper rifle/anti-material rifle. Deathclaw. Them's good huntin'. For every day use I stuck with the trusty old hunting rifle mostly in both games, though in NV I've replaced that mostly now with a marksman carbine. In FO3 I would switch out the hunting rifle with a plasma rifle near the end game, when they become the default weapon pretty much... When the enemy gets up close I switch over to a combat rifle in FO3, or whatever best pistol that I have in NV.
