I couldn't find this discussion on forums, it probably is somewhere and I'm just terrible at navigating the forum. I keep on noticing that PipBoys look like overly large wristwatches, but what if you had different sort of model in the games? Like one that took up your entire forearm and had a series of additional screens with a slideout interface for navigating or one that had a helmet and forced you slide a set of dials on the sides of your head with wires going to an array of button on your arm. Anyone care to give their 2 bottlecaps/cents

There have been other mentions of alternate pip boys, going back to the 2000 series and even making it into more of a PDA model. I see no reason to make the Lone Wanderer or Vault Dweller into a Borg from Star Trek. I like the pip boy design so much i wear my I phone strapped to my wrist like a pip boy.true story.

I think that the Bethesda Pipboy was well done (as a 3d model), and actually followed the series fairly close; (except for the whole "Not used for inventory wth? " part). But I never liked the form-factor. I didn't like it in VanBuren either... See the problem comes from the pipboy 2000 seeming like this: http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj125/Gizmojunk/Pipboy2000_by_Equilerex.jpg

(a Fan interpretation) in Fallout 1 & 2; but technically it was described as a wrist mounted computer ~even http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj125/Gizmojunk/Pipboy_mistake.jpg...

Which does not at all seem like http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj125/Gizmojunk/PipBoy20001_zps83d02c43.png.
