VATS made sense in 1 & 2 due to the third-person isometric design. It feels clunky and shoehorned in a first-person setting. The gunplay in vanilla is awful but mods fix that and make it a proper shooter in a way Bethesda can't seem to manage.
I understand the philosophy of carry weights but fiddling with inventories in Beth games has never been engaging to me. And the mods add a lot of new stuff so it compound the problem. What's the point of adding new stuff if you're not picking it up?
3d fallout's shooting came from bethesda's weird ass rpg gameplay hit to have a chance to roll to hit system, and vats was there as a branch to the people they figured might not want to play a realtime shooter. it's a kludge but it's probably the most clever thing they did.
