A mod has finally given New Vegas the more cinematic VATS visuals of Fallout 3

Among the many little tweaks Obsidian made in Fallout: New Vegas was an overhaul of VATS. The crit bonus and damage reduction were revised downward, meaning that rather than being a bulletproof god who took 90% less damage like you did in Fallout 3, the New Vegas VATS enjoyer gained a mere 25% damage reduction while cinematics played out. What’s more, those cinematics were less cinematic, with decreased use of those dramatic camera angles that let you linger on the gore.

Modder Hitman47101 has decided to change that, fully restoring the Fallout 3 visual style with the VATS Restored mod. As well as bringing back the old camera angles, it removes “a load of new, overly simple and static cameras with the word ‘boring’ literally in their editorIDs.”
