    Helpful guide worth buying

    This guide is not as indepth as the guide that came out for Fallout 3, as it does not include a full, pull-out map, and the quest walk-throughs are less detailed (you may still need to refer occasionally to Fallout 4 Wikipedia). However, it still is essential to have for thorough game play (I like to use it to review areas I've explored to ensure I did not miss anything). The maps for each chapter section do pinpoint all important areas and describe them sufficiently, and the guide is printed in detailed color. It also lists all quests and items, like the previous guide. Definitely worth buying at $20.

    I bought the same guide last time i had Fallout 3 and it was a must have. This version for Fallout 4 is the same! Goes very in depth on weapons, perks, missions, quests, maps etc etc. Wish it had a larger map or a separate one (i think the hardcover version comes with that).

    Prima Games-Fallout 4 : Vault. dwellers Guide is a necessity if you need to speed up the game and still want to to make good choices. The paperback version does feel flimsy but contains all of the hardback information except the bonuses. The information is organized different than most guides, but it appears to be a nice difference. I do wish I had spent the extra money and bought the hardcover. The book has helped but it's arrangement could have been better. Expected more from Fallout 4.

    I used it, but could be put together better. Weapons, Armor is nice listing, but maps need to be better organized.

    This book is a huge help for the fallout game. There is so much to the fallout game that it makes it a bit confusing. With the book I'm able to keep it all straight and I can figure out what I need to do.

    I knew what I was buying. It helps you find things you missed or are having trouble with doing quests and such. Not organized like I would have done it and difficult to find some things, but a good info resource for Fallout 4.

    This has everything you need to find all the treats in Fallout 4, the only drawback is it isn't in the best order and doesn't cross reference certain quests and companions

    This guide is very nice to have. I normally don't do the guide purchases but the sheer size of Fallout 4 demands that any fan buy this. It's great for if you need to look something up and a great read in general when you're away from the game. Very extensive guide for a very fair price. Buy it!!

    Always Tough to Buy Game Guides

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really only bought this because I had Best Buy points to spend. You pretty much can find everything online that's in here. That is why these game guides are so tough to buy. It has everything in it you need, at least as far as I can tell, but since the games been out a bit now, you can find the info all over the place. The best thing is that you hear myths around the net concerning the game, and this book dispelled a few for me.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This book is great if you are looking for a companion to the huge world of fallout 4. It's very detailed and gives pretty good hints. The only thing missing that you usually get with a guide like this is a fold out map. Still the info found in the guide warrants 5 stars even without a map. This is a must buy for fallout freaks like me!!

    This guide does a good, in-depth job of covering everything that comes with the massive Fallout world established in Fallout 4. Because the game is so big, it is almost essential to have a guide of some kind when playing the game so you don't get overwhelmed by your surroundings.
