I've found that if you build your skills and keep repairing your weapons, the accuracy is greatly improved, in fact, you can play without VATS once you get to level9 or so.
I'm rating FO3 and GTR evo+mods{with controller or wheel} as the 2 best PC games I've ever played.

Found FO3 pretty okay overall - while it's not the best at portraying a wasteland nor the best sandbox it's acceptable enough to maintain a level of enjoyment.
In regards to the combat, I found that the game is a lot better in many regards if you do Point Lookout early on (once your character can handle the challenges associated, anyway) - the lever action rifle and double barrelled shotgun (plus the unique lever action) both have much better critical damage rates and chances, plus tend to use a lot of AP - which would be a disadvantage except the damage they do is likewise high so it essentially shortens VATS time.
You can easily use the Backwater Rifle till the end of the game after finding it due to its' high HP, single-shot damage and accuracy; even on Very Hard it'll often cause one or two hit kills if you hit the head with both shots.

Out of curiosity, which game/s best portray a wasteland, and which is more open than FO3?

If you don't mind the extreme retroness then I think Wasteland is pretty good at it. I had hoped that STALKER might do it well, but only with Oblivion Lost and a few other extra spawn decreasing additions does it get the atmosphere right.

I don't have Wasteland, but do have both Stalkers, and whilst I very much liked Stalker SOC, I think FO3 is a much better and more developed RPG.....Stalker is more like an open world, atmospheric shooter with some average RPG stuff included in the game.
I don't know of any game that has FO3's scale and level of objects in the world, ie, the DC area.

After exploreing almost everything on the map and done most quests, I found this game quite great. There's quite a lot of good ideas in it, like what's inside the other vaults, where you meet the man who cloned himself 50 times or where the gas experiment went on. The oasis was also great how they took Harold into the third Fallout game too makeing his tree evolved that much.
After all this, I started the main quest and it was quite allright. Also John Henry Eden totally rocks. His "sraight to your heart" speeches are awesome, interesting and hilarious, And his voice acting is truly great. Although he was the main antagonist, I found him a good guy. He did everything out of his love for his country. When listened his broadcasts everybody thought that he's a liar, but in reality he truly believed in what he said and that he's a good guy. Of course everybody in the Enclave got it wrong. The world was not ready for him I guess. Not to meniton that he helped you out of your prison and later on, out of Raven Rock, because he believed in you. Upon meeting him in person it turns out that he admires the player. That was an enjoyable dialog between the two.
He should had been transferred into an android like the one Zimmer owned in Rivet City. Then he would become the new Messiah.
But now there's no Encalve Radio anymore.. Those speeches were the only stuff enjoyable even after listened everything over and over. Three Dog sucks. He's boring even for first time listeners. Agatha also. But hearing President Eden was always a delight.

thats no excuse to getaway with....now it feels they got bored with the game to the point that they where too lazy to do a good ending....its sloppy work, you need to immerse the player by these small but effective techniques

What GPU have you got Master?
I'd like to know what FO3 looks like at 1600p maxed, especially as Vegas looks like Max Payne 2.

Hey you ball busting pricks, I'll cap your Chinese cunt of a wife.
FYI, I criticized FO3 for having crappy real time gunplay, but to a large degree, that's down to your guns skills, so with a high small guns skill, the sniper rifles are rock steady, and I've been cornholing raiders from long range....that said, there's no question Vegas is better in realtime.
FO3 really is a masterpiece, but it pays to have some RPG experience.

Once you've completed some quests, kill those people and your karma will slide to evil, then, 3 dog will comment on your evil activities.....AFAIK, the only major drawback to poor karma is that you can't convince others to travel with you.
