I know, right!? :) I'm totally squeeing!

May nothing within the game contradict your canon and may the game be awesome!

...okay. No matter how much I suck at real time combat, I need to play this.

That is what VATS is for. Unless they change the combat system that's existed since the first game, you have the option of either real-time shootin'/stabbin'/punchin'/grenadin', or entering VATS mode, where your dexterity score gives you action points to attack with and your perception score and skill with your current weapon gives you a specific percentage chance of hitting one or more body parts. It gives you a moment to stop and think, and it puts the aiming burden on the character and the weapon rather than on the player.

I have played the first two games many times, and I am SO MUCH BETTER at action points/turn based stuff.

I would die in the real apocalypse for not being able to multitask with enough weapons.

Then stand behind me. I don't have much practice, but I've at least learned the basics of rifle, shotgun, and pistol; that's got to count for something.

Also if you ever wanted a crack at either Ellen's canon or Fallout New Vegas, you can come to my place. I'm generally up for visitors!

[jothra]

I may take you up on that sometime. I've never played either.

Cool beans!
