I didn't read the vast majority of the replies in this thread yet, but the weapon aiming does improve to razor-like precision as your character's stats improve. The story builds up pretty impressively, too. I loved it, but I guess it helps to be a sci-fi geek! My biggest problem with it, is that the game barely tells you how to play it. You make a lot of mistakes, and make things harder than they really are, simply because things are never properly explained. This will pass in time, though.
I haven't played this game in over a year, and I admit, a lot of the awesomeness can be attributed to the amazing graphics......but since it came out in 2007, what was once amazing and awe inspiring is now, merely average. Keep playing it, though. After you finish the game, you'll really appreciate it, AND you can play through it again with your boosted stats.
