portable-HD-Camcorder: Is there any Dodging option in Fallout: New Vegas

Is there any Dodging option in Fallout: New Vegas - Lonesome Road
Is there really no sprint option that would make it possible to dodge dynamite before it explodes, and also make it harder for enemies to hit you when you're running for your life? I didn't really feel the panic I'm sure my character must've felt when I first encountered a mutant master (or something to that effect) at level 4. I wanted to sprint for my life, but instead I slowly jogged in the opposite direction until I got blasted with an incinerator.

There's some mods out there that let you sprint I think, but there's no way to in the vanilla game. Btw where were you at level 4 to run into a super mutant master?

Do you really think a human should be able to run faster than giant mutants, Death claws and dogs, though? You can already run away from radscorpions and most opponents that used ranged weapons. Dynamite is easy to evade, and the fact that we can dodge bullets at all is already pretty silly. The speed of bullets in this game is much, much slower than in real life. Dodging was probably not included as a main element in this game as it's pretty pointless to waste resources on that when most damage is dealt with bullets. And as anyone should know, you can't quite dodge a bullet. No matter from how far.

I ran into one of those mutants along with a mutated centaur, or something, on a mountain near the old railroad maintenance station on the way to Nipton (I think). I thought I just did it wrong, so when it loaded up I went back with some heavier weaponry, but he still creamed my buttocks.

Guess I am the oddball then, I don't run. I use Implant GRX, a War Club+, and just beat something senseless. Doesn’t even need the slayer perk, and I only have Agility 6. Light Touch, Finesse Joshuah Ghram's Armor, 1st Recon beret, basically anything to boost critical rate, followed by Bloody Mess and Better Critical for more damage. That and I use Laser Commander and Pew-Pew as a side arm, and All-American as a long range gun. Speed is no longer an issue, as things die against my Critical rate way too fast.

This is the first time I'm playing Fallout, so I'm not familiar with all the perks etc., but I guess I should at least have a basic plan for my build. I like regular guns and bludgeoning things to death, so I'll start looking for perks for those things, and then back up with some mobility.
