'Tis a sad day for any intrepid Wastelanders who favoured the vocal stylings of Three-Dog, the enigmatic radio host from Fallout 3. Confirming long-standing rumours that his character wasn't returning to Fallout 4, Erik Todd Dellums finally took to Twitter alongside news that the game has 111,000 lines of dialogue, to confirm he's not contributing anything at all.
I admit, the finality of this tweet felt like a gut punch. Sad to not be included. Best with the game. #ShareLovehttps://t.co/EN2A7DNctf
There's every chance it could be a ruse, being Dellums' presence in Fallout 3 turned him into a fan-favourite overnight. Thousands of us thought we saw him - or remnants of what appeared to be Galaxy News Radio - in the initial trailers for the game, and it's a shame his voice won't be accompanying us one more time on newer hardware.Releasing November 10th, Fallout 4's PR cycle has been one for the ages. Initially not even confirmed to be in existence by Bethesda or any who've worked on it, we finally got eyes on not only a trailer and handful of screenshots at E3, but tons of gameplay, developer interviews and lengthy breakdowns discussing everything inside. What do you make of Three-Dog's fairly late-game tweet? Would you want him to return, or is Dellums' legacy best left to one game? Let us know in the comments!
