Exclusive in game content does not make a lot of sense in a game with massive mod support anyway.

The content tend to be stuff like extra armor and weapons who is trivial to add as mods.

^this.

And if you are lucky, you may get your Pip-Boy edition. For me it's just not useful.

But the gamestop/ebgames preorder bonus is a Pipboy bobblehead. I stick with that, aswell as with the Fallout Anthology in that beautiful mini-nuke .

Travel tips: Don't take the mini nuke as hand luggage

I guess it will tilt the guys working on the x-ray scanner.

The Book itself is the collector's edition version of the guide.

There's no in game bonuses, the bonuses for with the book. (implied to be more than what comes in a standard guide)

Rest easy friends.

Wasn't planning on getting this because I almost never use these things but I was able to snag the hardcover edition on amazon for $20. Seem like a fair deal and who knows, maybe it will be useful at one point.

I'd rather put that money towards an art book for Fallout 4. Which I did, since Amazon has it for just a little more than they're selling the guide for.

I also got that art book

Well there you go.

In this day and age, I'd only buy a strategy guide if it was written in an in universe context. Include drawings of a radscorpion bisected, and telling you how to go about killing it as if the writer was someone who studied them in the Wasteland, rather than somebody telling me how many hit points it has.

"The Hit Point Index (Hereafter referred to as the HPI) is what we at the Institute use to measure the general hardiness of the typical wasteland creature and humanoid. It works by [Redacted: See Supervisor for Clearance for High-Access Materials]. As you can see, this simple and straightforward system is both easy to learn and remember! Keep it in mind during wasteland excursions to avoid any creates deemed by the HPI to be above your current capabilities, thereby keeping yourself alive and useful. Now, on to section two of your Institute Standard Issue Guidebook: the DTQ, or Damage Threshold Quantifier."

See. That I can get behind. Organic, in universe justification of game mechanics is a lot more fun to read the just "here's how to beat the game."

Personally I am not so interested in using the guide on my first playthrough. Fact is though I have been buying every Fallout item they have been releasing.

I already ordered

Pipboy edition
Fallout Anthology
artbook
and now the guide

I am considering getting the loot crate (If I can) but honestly I heard it would normally be atound $20 so I am not sntirely sure if it will be worth it.


Normally I do not collect things for vodeo games like this. I often find video game soecial editions to be cheap and useless. This on the otherhand doesn't. I missed out on the new vegas and fallout 3 stuff so I am not passing up Fallout 4.
