[games_access] Fallout 4 - VATS 'Accessibility' Dropped

[Steve Spohn]

It was an extremely broken system. Even though i used it myself it was
definitely broken. Its important to remember accidentally accessible can't
be relied on, only good game design.

progressing when they went into VATS, which made me cringe a tiny bit for
the obvious reasons you mentioned. I can't say I'm totally surprised by the
change, though, because VATS was widely regarded as rather broken and in
need of a serious nerf if they wanted the game to actually be played as an
FPS.

>> VATS is no longer freezing, instead it slows down the time. This could
lead to some frustration of disabled players who could play a shooter-style
game like Fallout EXACTLY because of this, however I am pretty sure that
the modding community will bring an 'Original VATS' feature, it is just
said that Bethesda doesn't realize that they had a perfect accessibility
feature and dropped it.
