My game didn't ship with a manual, there is just the perk poster and a paper with the game controls. Is it missing from my box only or the game doesn't have a manual? Is the manual available online somewhere? Thanks.

Might be a digital copy with the game... There is also a couple different Wiki's, but, so far, I have yet to find a comprehensive manual, that answers even the simplest of questions.... LIke: Why can't I improve/scrap my head gear at the armor station?

It seems like the latest trend is to not have much information that helps packaged with the game disc. There are online guides and I have the Primagames guide. I would have to say that when playing video games nowadays that Google is your friend.

I think game manuals went out of the window when Wiki sites started. For an established game wiki sites are good but for new games they are inadequate by their nature, they need players to contribute information. There are forums of course but finding good information in those is like trying to dig a bottlecap out of a pile of manky feral ghoul giblets.

It is a shame really, I still have most of my old game manuals some of which go above and beyond just telling you how to move etc. I can understand why companies don't make them any more though. The way games change via patches, updates and expansions makes them obsolete quickly.

They have a manual for sale at almost any retailer or online, but, if you need an electronic one, if you send me a personal, I send you a code for one tomorrow morning. Just let me know. I won't be using mine.

The money set aside for a manual got blown on the voice-acting costs.

Ooh!

Steam also doesn't have a manual to download either (like my other games). Maybe Bethesda didn't bother to make one (probably since nobody reads them anyway).

Honestly game manuals (beyond stating controls) simply dont really exists, most info replaced by in game tutorials and info prompts.

some of the same voice talent from ESO by the sound of it, plenty of the voices in FO4 are familiar. The ghoul settler that arrived at Sanctuary earlier sounded exactly like a couple of argonians I know of in ESO not a bad thing though.

Sigh... My original Wizardry 8 game came with a 129 page manual!

they sell the manual seperated from the game

http://store.gamesas.com/books-and-other-media/books/fallout-4-vault-dwellers-survival-guide-collectors-edition.html

They expect you to shell out 20 bucks for the book of course.

The manual is in the game, guys. Just open up the Menu and click Help.

The Vault Dweller's Survival Guide isn't a manual, it's a game guide with quest walkthroughs and the like.

Much love going out to my argonian brothers

How many MILLIONS of dollars have they made with this game? No manual is just another way for them to make even more money.

Neverwinter Nights 2 game manual was extremely thick and heavy. Filled with awesome info about nearly every aspect of the game. Did that developer/publisher go broke because they printed a few thousand manuals? NO!

I read them. Just because you can not read them for whatever reason does not mean every other person on the planet can not read them either.

They aren't making any money off the manual. It is available, for free, from within the game. It is a bummer that there's not a printed version, but that's gaming for you these days.

Bethesda has always sold separate game guides. FO4 is no more or less greedy in this regard.

There is a manual in game. Go to the Save Menu and you will see a option called "Help". It is very helpful with all the info that would be in a game manual.

The help manual has absolutely zero on why helmets don't show up in my list at the armorer station, nor do any of the wiki's even mention it. According to theory, they *should*, yet, they do not...... Is it just me?
