You can barely see the difference, right? That's the point! The goal was to create a retexture that is as true to the original Pip-Boy 3000 as possible while still offering updated and higher-quality features. In the comparison above, I’ve highlighted the major updates, but improvements can be found everywhere, from the text and Rad-O-Meter to the screws. I’ve also added an HD metal overlay to provide extra depth and detail.
