Fallout 4: 10 Specific Things We Can't Wait To See Improved

4. Pip-Boy Management & Mobile App Secrets

Perhaps because Fallout 4's Pip-Boy has been redesigned to also work as a mobile app (you can download it to your phone, tether to the game and treat it as your own wrist-mounted computer), it should make for an inventory that's immediately responsive and easily interacted with. Fallout 3's and New Vegas' Pip-Boys were fine enough, but the hope with having the option to micro-manage your equipment on your phone, is that you could prospectively tweak loadouts during dialogue exchanges. In Fallout 3 in particular, bringing up the Pip-Boy mid-fight or when the game was trying to handle a number of AI enemies at once, would result in a delay that then meant you'd prod the button again, only for it to open and close in sequence. It wasn't game-breaking, but the entire ethos behind Fallout 4's existence seems to be refining every part of what was already a solid experience in Fallout 3, and as such, that means nailing the fundamentals in the most confident way possible.
