Can't Access Inventory

[danconnors]

I can't get into my inventory. I have no choice as to which of my two weapons (a police baton or 10mm pistol) to use. I'm still in the vault.

Help!!!

You need to find the pipboy near the end of the Vault to "unlock" the inventory. You really don't need an inventory before then.

I hope you're a troll, if not. How do you tie your shoes in the morning?

Nah, he just doesn't know that you don't start with the PipBoy.

Still...you've always started without it and even if he is new why would he assume you start with it? You literally have it after 15 min at most...

Kids these days...no attention to detail! When the character gets given his vault suit there is clearly no mention of a pip-boy to go with it. When the character puts said vault suit on there is clearly no pip-boy. All other vault dwellers have no pip-boy. When the character falls to the ground out of the cryochamber he clearly isn't wearing a pip-boy. Also the fact that you have access to the settings that show you the keys and if you try them nothing happens tells you you can't access an inventory yet. On top of that there is clearly a vault boy in the top left corner instructing you in a tutorial type way which lets you know the game is walking you through it.....like a tutorial.

Hope this helps ;)

You are not being constructive by accusing this guy of being a troll. If someone hasn't played fallout before, myself included, then there's no way to know that you have to unlock the inventory later. Thank you to whoever said that you have to progress a bit of distance to unlock the pip boy and inventory

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but thank you to Pastmaster for actually answering the question. People who have spent little to no time playing Fallout have no way to know that there's no way to access the inventory except through the Pip-Boy.

Same thing in Fallout 4. The baton seems to be more powerful, and the pistol MIGHT be slightly more powerful, but other than that, same weapons.

I came from google thank you!

I came here from Google to get this confirmed. I'm starting a fresh game, after a year not looking at it, and thought when I first played the game I had shot the cockroaches with a pistol. But now this time, I only had a baton. Then when I found the pistol, I wondered how to go back to the baton.

Thanks to all who had positive answers to OP's question.
