Nah, you're right.
Vats sucks big time, I'd rather have turn based combat than that shit.
And yeah, MGS3's inventory system was like that, it really is a lot better than in Fallout 3.
Basically, my problem with the karma system is that I don't like having this stupid label on me telling me all the time how bad or good I am, I shouldn't get a stupid warning telling me that I lose or win karma, it's dumb. I like to know how "good" I am by the way people respond to me, by some events in the game, shit like that. Now don't give me a bar or whatever, I'd rather put some fucking horns on my character and have people call him the devil.
