i thought that in Fallout they died a "special" way, when the damage you have done made their health go below -10 (or some other -number)... so in the begining you only saw it when you used burst fire against a creature with only a few hp, but in the end everyone died that way, because you had sniper skill and every hit was a critical and every hit made monsters go below -10 (hp, not %)...
There is a perk you can pick that shows the "gory" critical shot animations. For the life of me I cannot recall what it is called. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
