The Argument For Fallout 5 to Retire VATS

The Fallout series has undergone a variety of changes as the games have evolved from their origins as isometric, turn-based RPGs to the modern Bethesda-developed FPS RPGs Bethesda fans have come to know today. While some of these changes have helped streamline Fallout gameplay and make it more accessible to new players, others have become outdated as the first-person RPG genre has changed in recent years. As such, the classic VATS mechanic, which has become an iconic part of the series, should be removed from Fallout 5 to bring the series on par with other modern titles in the genre.
