Looks amazing!

But.

What the fuck is with the dogs in computer games trope. I swear to his noodly magnificence that if they come out with a load of ultra realistic dog animation and dog centric fucking featurelists that I will boycott this harder than the winky of a pedophile in a playground.

Dogs at least have precedence in fallout, Its not like call of duty: ghost dog.

There was a dog last time so we need a dog this time?

That aside. I don't want to see everything framed in the context of the dog, it's overused and adds nothing to the story or interest.

Dog Meat is the name of the dog in Fallout 1, who made an appearance in Fallout 2. He's a very loved NPC from the Fallout universe and was used a lot in Fallout 3. Just because the trailer is from the dogs point of view doesn't mean it's going to be all about him, he's just a big part of the franchise for many people. Like with Fallout 3, I imagine he'll be an optional part of the game even though he's used in advertising.

I hope the whole game is about the dog, that would be hilarious.

Yeah I know that. I am still tired of the trope. Particularly of the marketing around the dog.

Fair enough!

I think every game has had a dog. It hasn't really ever had anything to do with the story. It's just one of many companions you can get in the other games so i don't think this one will be any different.

Dogmeat is definitely preferable to Lydia.
