Fallout 3's VATS system helped compensate for Bethesda's lack of shooting chops: "We were never going to create gun combat that was on par with Call of Duty or Battlefield" (www.gamesradar.com)

It sounds to me like you’re struggling to suspend your disbelief.

Well, yeah. It looks stupid that someone takes multiple shots to the face and doesn't react appropriately. Takes me right out of the game. Same as if a character inexplicably walked through walls or flew off into the sky.

Maybe some people don't mind that but I don't like it.

In this case, it’d be best to go back to turn based gameplay.

Yes. This was my initial thesis. Either do an action game, or do a stats RPG. Doing both at once clashes.
