Gaining creativity from real-life
It’s a pretty cool fact that the idea and model behind the companion Dogmeat was inspired by Bethesda developer Joel Burgess’s dog. Burgess’s dog, whose name is River, provided not only video capture footage but also audio clips as part of Fallout 4’s design for Dogmeat.
An important thing to know about playing with Dogmeat as the companion is that the adorable German Shepherd will never die during the story. For many gamers the death of a beloved animal in-game can hit like a ton of bricks, so Bethesda is throwing everyone a bone by making the dog immortal.
