Does the Pip Boy edition have any in-game bonuses?

Is that your reasoning for not playing PC? lol

The app may actually be beneficial if you can actually use it when the game is fully paused.....that way if you're in a heated battle and can't properly pull up your in game pipboy to change gear or heal without being ripped to shreds you can pause the game and do it on your phone. That would be a win.

I love Smurfs really, they go very well with roast potatoes and gravy!!

Seriously though, I will be playing on PC as well as Xbox One :)

I doubt that, for balance reasons.

Sooo.... What you're all saying is that aside from being able to play the game with an actual physical pip-boy on my arm, there are no in-game bonuses or features or achievements or the like?

Nope, nothing in game (maaaybe they will throw in a achievement for using the app, but as Todd pointed out ya don't even need the pip boy to use that)

Then it's useless and purposeless beyond a bit of novelty for a few tries before never being used again.......balance should be fine, it's how Fallout 3 and New Vegas were without extra apps and devices. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have gameplay setting that pauses the game whenever in-game pipboy is used.

Bethesda usually like to give us a level playing field in that regard, which is not a bad thing TBH.

Thank god no it doesn't. Bethesda rarely if ever goes for that kind of swill marketing.

For you perhaps, I'm sure to get some fun out of it, heck depending how the app work maybe even some fun while not actually playing the game

That what i like about BGS. They don't do those "load your inventory with dozens of cheat items at game start" DLCs :happy:

Didnt realise that the front hinges and your phone is actually the pip boy screen and inserts into the body, i was wondering how your phone played a part.

I am of the opposite opinion. Basically, it is just a matter of training as to which is better for an individual.
