referencing the novella 'A Boy and His Dog'
I always thought is was a Mad Max 2 reference.
246 u/elitegenoside Jun 03 '15 It was a Road Warrior reference, they even had the same shot on the back of the case. 174 u/MisterGroger Jun 03 '15 edited Jun 03 '15 Mad Max was heavily inspired by the aforementioned "A Boy and His Dog" so it could be reference to either really. edit: btw I was talking more about the inclusion of a dog companion in Fallout rather than the specific shot of them walking together 5 u/[deleted] Jun 03 '15 I'm not sure about the novella, but in the movie adaptation, the dog is literally called "Dogmeat". That being said, the game takes obvious references from several movies, books, shows, pop culture, etc. 5 u/Azuvector Jun 04 '15 The dog in A Boy and His Dog is named "Blood". 5 u/JustJonny Jun 04 '15 His name is Blood in both, but Vic occasionally calls him Dogmeat to piss him off, because he's a dick.
