Has anybody tried to use dynamite with VATS yet? I just did the first quest with the powder gangs and i couldn't use VATS when i was throwing dynamite. I can't remember but i swore i can use VATS with dynamite in Fallout 3. I'm not sure if its a glitch or not.

there was no dynamite in FO3.

Maybe it's a glitch, because you can 100% use dynamite in V.A.T.S. Any "weapons" can be used in V.A.T.S.

Nope, there wasn't any dynamite in Fallout 3. Regardless, I have used dynamite with VATS several times in New Vegas.

I can use VATS with it. Dunno

Same here. I'm not sure what could be causing your problem.

I've used it in VATS...the problem comes in when the bad guy (i.e. giant radscorpion) has closed with you and you basically drop the stuff on your own feet and blow yourself and it up...and as it's armoured, you're the one svcking stimpacks like a sponge...

Dynamite svcks because all the enemies get in your grille before it goes off. I use it to make Time Bombs to use with Stealth Boys to assasinate high-level enemies like Ghoul Reavers or Caesar's Legion positions.

I too can use dynamite in VATS, but I don't, takes too long for it to blow and I am usually surrounded by melee mobs by the time VATS ends. That or dead fom the aforementioned melee mobs.

Thats right, there wasnt any dynamite in FO3 just grenades that i used in VATS

It sounds like the problem the original poster had was that VATS does not work during the first event in Good Springs. I had the same issue. I had just assumed it was meant to that way. No problems using VATS after that.
