Fallout 4: 10 Jaw-Dropping Moments From The E3 2015 Demo

7. Dogmeat Is Finally Controllable

Move over Peter Molyneux, someone else is having a bash at the 'man's best friend' shtick. Fallout fans will remember Dogmeat, a recruitable canine companion you could totally miss in F3 if you weren't careful. For those who did find him, he became the one friend who stuck by you across the whole world - a tact that Bethesda must want every player to experience in the new game. However, no longer is Dogmeat just walking alongside; now you can sic him on enemies, and more importantly; get him to retrieve items and weapons for you from across the battlefield, Dead to Rights-style. Now would be the perfect time to twin that with a cover system, as there was nothing better in the aforementioned shooter than being pinned down, only for your dog to fetch a rifle that saved your hyde and turned the tables on whoever you were up against.
