It' was the same in the last 2 games... Did you complain about those too?

I hate that if their is like 10 map markers for a quest "kill all mole rats" it makes the location really hard to select.

It gets easier as you kill the molerats, lol!

Not even close

I've been retired for almost 20 years.

I'm one of those fat old men with nothing better to do than play video games.

Unfortunately, I have to admit that age is catching up with me and my reflexes and memory aren't what they used to be.

But, at 74, I'm still shooting those ghouls.

And I've had my share of screwed up jobs and I readily admit it.

But, in my opinion, ESO and Dying Light and Witcher 3 all have much better maps.

I would love and pay for excellent clear maps of towns / cities /dungeons that I could put on my second monitor while exploring.

Looks exactly the same as Fallout 3. The big problem is when you go to the local map. Complete crap.

But did you fire people for inane reasons ?

It would be okay if it would be possible to zoom way, way in while the icon "footprint" stays the same. Like one square inch of the base map sudenly covers the entire monitor screen. That would give clarity even in the downtown areas.

It happens.

as for Color, I know on PC you can choose several colors, but it still maintains just 1 color for everything.

get the App. it is superior for using maps. be warned, even with my new Android tablet plugged in, it still manages to drain the battery!

you could always buy the survival guide for more detailed maps

I can't check right now, but I think you can change the pip boy color in the options.

please see ...

Doesn't seem to bother the battery on my Windows phone. I keep it plugged into the charger when using the app.

Since you mentioned tablet, now I'm wondering if the app would work on my Windows Surface Pro tablet ... would be much bigger and easier to see.

hmmmmm

Yeah, I use the local map for a few things (figuring out the general shape/direction of an interior, and finding interactable doors). And yeah, the local map has always been a bit fiddly.... I think it's a side effect of the nature of how the world is built out of so many placed objects - I would be surprised if I found out the local map was handmade, I've always thought that it was just generated off the wireframes of the world objects. Which, yeah, would lead to lots of overlap of extra lines & issues with multifloor areas.

(the multifloor thing has been an issue with maps in 3D games for decades now, honestly. It's just that the pip-boy art style amplifies it a bit.)

You don't have color sliders???

On console you can set a completely custom color....mine is a midnight green, similar to the Philadelphia Eagles color (current)


I use the app on my phone and use my runners phone strap to keep it on my arm. Pip-boy lite I call it...

The world map is okay, but the local map is confusing. Showing 3D environment in 2D like that just doesn't work.

Yo,

Y-axis is the height-axis,

You... uhhh *dictionary dictionary dictionary*

Yodeling

Yachtmen?

The survival guide maps are awful, speaking as an owner of the strat guide, its very dissapointing how the map was done in literally the worst way possible. Literally using the same points for different map points for exampe: 1.01 is vault 111 while also 1.01 is dry creek bed. Whoever thought of that system using the EXACT same numbering for different locations is well probably the worst cartographer ever. What happened to labeling the top and one side then using a coordinates or zone based system ya know like what has been done going back to when we drew sea monsters on maps....

The zoomed map is completely useless for navigation, indoors or in cities.

No one. Because it's useless

The Pipboy world map is actually pretty great. It's simple, and actually shows *roads*! Beats the world maps for the last few games.

The local map is, and always has been, mostly useless. It's mostly only good for seeing thd outline of an area's floor plan.

And... fired? Let's not blow things out of proportion.

I have to agree, the local map is useless. I see these comments are saying it's for style, but even so, there should have been some mix of style and usefulness for it gameplay wise. I got lost in a building, pulled up my local map, and couldn't make any sense of it so I just gave up and fond my way eventually.

The local map of inside environments is AWFUL. In 3 and NV it was a least somewhat useable.

Oh I hate the local maps. When you're outdoors it's far too detailed (which is an odd complaint). Indoor maps aren't any better, there's some locations that mention sub-basemants and sub-levels that I can't find the entrances to (perhaps these are quest locations).

Yeah, you might actually want to spend some time in the construction kit for beth games before offering corrections.
