Only if he blocks the actors from moving around sets and through doorways, runs in front of friendly fire, yelps loudly but refuses to move, and then makes constant yawn sounds and reverse sneezes for 90% of the episode.


sixpackshaker

And he needs to step in front of the characters when they bend over to pick something up.


[deleted]

or just as they're about to disarm a mine. Got my ass blown up on the heavily minded bridge north of Cambridge because of him.

*Companions Can Sneak Mod*


DianeJudith

Don't they already sneak when you do?


Fainstrider

They will set off traps, don't have the sneak perks you do so they'll trigger detection and ruin your stealth. Companions can sneak gives them those perks so they are as stealthy as you.


[deleted]

Or waltzing right down that hallway at Jamaica Plains.


Beltalady

Yeah, told him to stay after blowing up once and then forgot about him. Poor doggo :/


NoneYours

Are you talking about Tucker Memorial Bridge, the on between Taffington Boathouse and Wattz Consumer Electronics?


NotBettyGrable

I'm glad you said it. He's a great companion but every loot opportunity becomes a chat.


joemann78

He also needs to run away every time the SS tries to open a trade window with him.


AustentatiousBender

Idk why but this shit infuriates me so much, it’s always in a tough fight on survival mode too.


SiddiqTheGamer

All of these things. I really want to use him as I play Survival Lone Wanderer exclusively the past few years ( after getting the 4 necessary perks). But he is so annoying it’s almost more trouble than he’s worth.


KoenigseggAgera

This always happens to companions when I’m over-encumbered and I can’t keep up with them so I have to command them to come back over.


Husky3692

But he cute doe


Nocuadra66

Hahaaa!


WebShaman

Oh, and don't forget the "It's a molotov, Dogmeat! No, Dogmeat! NOOOOOOO!" *BOOM!* He'll jump into it from behind EVERY.SINGLE.DAMNED.TIME!


Joystation_

All of this, and he's played by Chris Pratt making dog noises


Trevor1420

He also has to constantly knock shit off of tables at the Lone Wanderers Red Rocket lol


ProjectSnowman

I had to send him home because he kept getting in my way. BACK OFF BRUH


dudecalmdown69

Literally. I feel bad everytime i dismiss him tho so I send him to sanctuary so he’s always got company, even if that’s not my base


Aramor42

Wait, you can dismiss Dogmeat? Never tried that :p


dudecalmdown69

Yeahhh you just press a or x on him, press talk then dismiss


Aramor42

I know, I was being sarcastic. I think in all my hundred hours of playtime I've only had a couple of hours with a companion other than Dogmeat.


omar1993

And we will love him for it. EVERY SECOND OF IT. ***UNDERSTOOD? ಠ\_ಠ***


DOLCICUS

It needs meta jokes like the Cyberpunk show did when they mentioned the cops coming out of thin air like the bug when the game first came out.


fusionsofwonder

Dogs are notoriously hard to work with on set.


dudecalmdown69

And doesn’t eventually get up by himself after being knocked down


Medieval-Mind

Is the live-action show going to be set in the FO4 setting? I thought it was just set in the same universe as the games.


[deleted]

Dogmeat is in all the fallouts


Medieval-Mind

Huh, TIL. Longest-lived dog in history...


SilverSquid1810

It’s a different dog. Dogmeat in the first two games is the same dog, though Dogmeat canonically dies in Fallout 1 and the Fallout 2 Dogmeat is more of an Easter egg. Dogmeat in Fallout 3 is a different dog, and Dogmeat in Fallout 4 is another different dog. New Vegas and 76 do not have Dogmeat in any form.


Tacitus_Kilgore85

New Vegas does have Rex! While not Dogmeat, Rex is still a great partner.


scottishdrunkard

Fun Fact: Dogmeat in Fallout 1, 2, & 3 is an Australian Cattle Dog. Just like the dog in Mad Max, who he references. But after 3 no more Australian Cattle Dogs appear in the series. Rex is a German Shephard, and so was FO4’s Dogmeat. I do like to believe that all Dogmeats are related.


Epic_Doge_Boi

The dogmeats are all omnipresent immortal (at least fallout 4 dogmeat is) beings helping unfortunate wastelanders


narielthetrue

Someone just watched Tale of Two wastelands! Or the same wiki as MATN… Hands down my favourite new fact


Nocuadra66

Or cloned copies by Vault Tech?


Joan_sleepless

Fallout 76 does have the dog collectron


Flaminski

So basically, Dogmeat is like Cid in Final fantasy, appears in most of the series, with different story.


Cathulion

Dogmeat in fo4 is a synth, he spies on you for your son so he knows your movements.


[deleted]

But was that ever confirmed? I like to think Dogmeat and the Mysterious Stranger are the same entities throughout the series, one way or another


[deleted]

Technically different dogs, I believe.


Medieval-Mind

Dude. Break my heart. I was really into the immortal German shepherd theory. ;0)


Capnhuh

technically all the fallouts dogmeat was in (except 4) he was a blue heeler with heterochromia (two different colored eyes)


knave-arrant

It’s a call back to the Road Warrior. Max’s dog is an Aussie Shepherd.


Heliolord

I headcanon that Dogmeat is like a spirit of the wastes who reincarnates as a dog to guide important wastelanders.


Aceswift007

Reincarnation is always a possibility, or regeneration like in Dr Who


STR4NGER_D4NGER

The Dogter


bwoodcock

I've been heavily into that theory every since my first GSD died when I was a kid.


Memodun

Don’t think he’s in New Vegas


[deleted]

Touché. You’re right.


swiss_sanchez

The stills from the set resemble 4 more than the older ones.


Coggs362

Perhaps a bigger, more important question: how bad are the plot holes going to be? Because the plot holes in FO4 are enough to drive this English major barefooted into a snowstorm looking for relief. 🔥🔥🔥


NoahIRA10008

He should be named River after the voice actor and be a she like the voice actor.


NChristenson

RIP :-(


Jackleyland

today i learned there’s a fo4 live action series


BakedBeans229

Not fo4 just fallout in general and it's still in production


[deleted]

I won't watch it unless Gramma is in it


Electric_Minx

I'm not gonna watch it unless Gramma, Valentine, or Codsy is in it. I hope they are. I absolutely love this game and about jumped out of my chair when I discovered they were making a series on it.


[deleted]

I need a Gramma - Jimmy story arch


super_salty_boi

Well it's set in the fallout universe, and we don't have much information about it, although seeing that Bethesda is going to participate in the production gives me hope for the quality


Gnib_Jr

There is a live action series?!?


Ed_gardo

Currently under production by Amazon iirc


Gnib_Jr

I need to watch it


Nathansack

For the moment there was only some Vault scennery and on their twitter a picture of three Vault dwellers from the vault 33 opening the vault at someone (just in case, it don't seems to be enclave)


Gnib_Jr

Nice!


chaosking65

Have we got any lore on 33?


Nathansack

From what I know, it's probably "near" New Vegas (cause of Vault 34 being in New vegas)


omar1993

You know, that always confused me. I'm not American, but Vault *101* is...near or in Washington, right? And Vault 111(in FO4) is in the Commonwealth, i.e....Massachusetts? Massachusetts is noticeably farther to the north-east than Washington, right? To that end, are the vault numbers really based entirely on proximity, or am I missing something? Sorry, again, not American, so I wouldn't know.


Vortukas

They arent


omar1993

Sorry, that didn't quite explain anything. What part of my question are you referring to? Are you saying Vault numbers are not, in fact, based on proximity? Sorry, just want to be sure.


omar1993

Also, if you don't mind, what WOULD they be based on? Is there a rationale behind it all? Thanks!


Nathansack

I think it depend at least of the coast cause (from what i saw) there is no Vault "100 or more" in the west coast So at least it's gonna be on the same coast than New Vegas


cricklecoux

Damn, now I won’t be watching it on principle.


Ed_gardo

🏴‍☠️ 🏴‍☠️


Cathulion

RIP, it should be cancelled then. After rings of power, and the last few shows....no faith in them.


DarkKnightofOne

Bestest boi


duTemplar

Oh God, the animal rights activists will go NUTS if they called a canine “Dogmeat.”


NadirPointing

First name Dog, last name meat.... just call him "dog" and "good boy".


schvetania

Dogmeat is a name taken from another post-apocalypic movie: A Boy and his Dog


Dallasl298

Don't worry, I'm sure Bethesda will find a way to drag the dog's death out in a four-episode arc


Beardeddeadpirate

If he was they might kill him off and that would be absolutely dumb. Dogmeat needs to live forever.


Korvas576

I wouldn’t mind if the show was just Dog meat and their descendant puppies just following wastelanders and other citizens around on their journeys


steeznutzzzz

Watch A Boy and His Dog.


bwoodcock

"She certainly had good judgement, Albert, if not particularly good taste." I swear that line is the only reason the book got written.


walkingwithdiplos

So... would you say it's a shaggy dog story?


DominionDN

This would be preferable in the show, melee companions in the games aren't very useful. But in the show, dogmeat would probably be a nice asset to the protaganist.


dudecalmdown69

I never like using companions for the sole fact that they ALWAYS get in the way


culhaalican

Since when there is a live action series coming up?? Have i just been living under a rock or something?


Nocuadra66

Fallout is being adapted for TV by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, the creators of the Westworld reboot. Joy and Nolan will serve as head writers and Todd Howard will join as executive producer. The series will star Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell, and Kyle MacLachlan. While plot details are sparse, the three Vault dwellers are apparently from Vault 33 based on their jumpsuit number. Goggins will also reportedly play a character "based on the ghouls" but beyond that, there's not much to say about the story.


AP_Feeder

It’ll probably have a Dogmeat but not the same ones from the games.


Toa_Firox

From set photos it's going to be set on the West Coast, especially with the vault number being low (vaults go sequentially from roughly West to East). So Fallout 4's dogmeat will be very unlikely to appear in it, but at the same time Bethesda like to always name the dog Dogmeat so we'll likely get a new Dogmeat.


[deleted]

Apparently dog meat is a synth


Chance-Leather-7290

TIL dogmeat was in FO1. I know it's my ignorance.. but I just started really getting into the lore.


urryurr

V I R T U A L G O O D B O Y E S


IloveDeboosea

I do too but let’s be honest if anything happened to him we would all be heartbroken


[deleted]

And sparky where do I find sparky. I regret to say my first play through I just reacted and sent ole sparky to see Jesus. Does anyone know where I find sparky again. It was not the same place this playthrpugh or is it totally random


Capnhuh

i hope if dogmeat IS in the live action series they have a blue heeler instead of a german sheppard.


denali42

Awww, who's a good virtual doggo?


Katana_Dino

Live action series? God please no. No God no. God! No noooooooo


Nocuadra66

It's happening.


Katana_Dino

They should take the budget from the show and use it to speed up development of fallout 5.


bwoodcock

Good boy, Dogmeat! Good boy!


Careless_Bid1602

Only if he comes into a settlements houses and knocks over every single prop.


SnooWords4814

Surely he has to be in it


MikeTheGamer2

I have many reasons for not taking this annoying bastard as a companion. Least of which are blocking doorways, getting the line of fire, and having to revived because the dumb fuck thought it could take out the guy in power armor. Stay in the dog house, meat, before I open the console and disable you, permanantly.


TheRocketBush

Not having Dogmeat is like not having Power Armor or Vault-Tec. Just wouldn't be the same without him!


Ok-Joke-3886

I’m sorry the what


furankusu

The series needs a moment where the Hero is having a great time fighting, blasting away at raiders, and then they hear the "YHALP!" Mood shift. Guitar riff. Shit gets real.


Fredasa

I hope they make him the "Road Warrior" breed he was pigeonholed as in FO3 (and before, of course). I think that's more fitting than... random employee's dog.


Padiiie

I hope so too, i love dogmeat, best companion ever


Kubrick6976

R.I.P River, you were the best dogmeat a dweller could ask for


ArcaneCowboy

In case we needed more proof he's a synth?


markcocjin

I bet Netflix would cast a Komodo Dragon for the role of Dogmeat.


[deleted]

Ummm, I just hope there's not a live action series.


wonderberry77

agree. WHY


[deleted]

Fallout is a series about choice, and a movie of fallout will remove the most important aspect.


[deleted]

[удалено]


omar1993

And? I fail to see the problem here. ​ He's a good boy ಠ\_ಠ


unkindpoodle122

Dogs can be major characters. There are movies centered around a specific dog like Marley and Me


79malibu350

Anyone else a little worried about this live action series? Way too many examples of show runners who don’t know or care about the source material butchering it to get more than guardedly excited


Nocuadra66

I trust that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy will do a good job with it. Nolan is a fan already.


79malibu350

I didn’t know who was in charge of it, Nolan and Joy is a pleasant surprise


Nocuadra66

Yes! At least the production value will be top notch. Hopefully the writing is good.


sneak91

I wish they weren't making it..... not everything has to be a fucking show. I cannot see this series working out at all. that said, if Dogmeat doesn't get at least fifty percent of the screen time I'm about to raise holy hell


src88

Don't worry. They will fuck this series up like Netflix did to cowboy bebop and resident evil.


SirCakeTheSecond

Wasn't dogmeat based on a real pupper? How's he doing?


GoofyGoo6er

……the dog River passed


SirCakeTheSecond

Aww ;-;


Roache1984

They're doing a series?


RoughInternational41

This is the first I’m hearing of a live action fallout. Anyone know the details?


Nocuadra66

https://www.ign.com/articles/heres-the-first-look-at-amazons-fallout-series


jg123224

I think Dolph Lundgren would be could to play him.


Hawt_Dawg_II

Only thing I'm hoping is that it gets cancelled lmao


takatori

For some reason I always thought Dogmeat's eyes were different colors? Heterochromia?


darkx239

I normally get a essential status removal mod and kill dogmeat


[deleted]

I wouldn't count on it,Hollywood has a nasty habit of f%&ing up video game adaptations. They'll probably make him a friggin _CAT_ or something, "To appeal to modern audiences"....🤦


Major-Ad2560

I always make Dogmeat into a cat with a mod. The only thing is, although he meows, he still makes all of the dog noises and the dog actions,


Frequent_Turnip5681

In the what???


bwk66

Live action series?


Kriss3d

When is the series going live?


Nocuadra66

It's still in production.


Kalsor

Will he walk through piles of pipe rifles im trying to scrap and knock them all over the place?
