Crafting in general has been overhauled. All the items you can pick up in a Bethesda game now have a purpose beyond trash loot; you cna take them apart for parts to sue in crafting. the crafting menu shows you where you can find the items you need for particular crafting results.

As for what you're crafting, there are over 700 permutations of weapons, so you can craft scopes, stocks, magazines and even entirely new weapons. You'll also be able to modify your power armour with this system.

Bethesda has announced a new Fallout game for iOS is available right now and its Called Fallout Shelter.

The game is free, has no paywall timers and does not require an Internet connection to play. You can optionally purchase more currency.

Howard aslo showed off Bethesda’s real PipBoy – which comes with the Colelctor’s Edition. You cna load your smartphone into it, and use an app which sues the same code as the PipBoy in the game. You can use it as a second screen to access anything the PipBoy manages in game.

“As stupid gimmicks go,” Howard said, “This is the best fucking one I’ve ever seen. It’s really cool.”

The base app will be available on Android and iOS so you can sue it as a second screen even without a PipBoy mount.

Fallout 4 is coming November 10 2015 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
