In Fallout 3, during VATS you had 90% damage reduction.
In Fallout New Vegas this seems to be considerably reduced. Is it known how big the damage reduction is now, or has it been removed entirely?

Best Answer
Referring to the comments on the answer to Make VATS the Default in Fallout 3?:
The damage reduction has apparently been reduced to 25% in New Vegas (it was 90% in fallout 3).
Additionally, the bonus to your chance to cause a critial strike has been reduced from 15% to 5%, and the increased wear on the used weapon has been removed entirely.
