📋 About This Mod
Description
Ever felt there was something off with VATS in New Vegas when compared to F3. I don't mean the gameplay balance that everyone knows was changed mostly for the better. I mean with the actual presentation itself. Well you weren't imagining things as Obsidian greatly shortened and sped up a load of the camera shots VATS uses for its dramatic kills and interesting angles. Not only this but they took it upon themselves to add a load of new, overly simple and static cameras with the word "boring" literally in their editorIDs.
This mod restores the original VATS cameras from Fallout 3, changing the timings back to their F3 values. It also disables all the new boring ones Obsidian added. If you have any nostalgia for VATS back in the day like I do you should be able to tell the difference pretty quickly in game.
