Of course, everyone gets stuck and frustrated from time to time, especially when we're looking for a certain pistol, rifle, or in the case of Fallout 4, a coveted energy weapon. There are a good many Fallout 4 fans who might simply choose to use console command cheats in order to wield the best guns and gear that the game has to offer, but the most enjoyable way to experience Bethesda's action-RPG is through scavenging and exploration. I personally very rarely switched out from Dogmeat as a companion- and many others were the same from the look of the comments section- so it is difficult not to feel something from this post.For the Lone Wanderers looking for the best combat gear in Fallout 4, check out our guide on where to find all the unique weapons in Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG. Onto some Reddit posts, this one from u/originalgamerguy is both lovely and heart-breaking. Check out the mod here.Īnother Nexus Mod – linked here– comes from Sirucus, which allows the player to rename Dogmeat to River in tribute. The statue becomes a craftable item on the Workbench if it is downloaded and it depicts a sleeping River atop a pedestal with a weeping figure next to her.

Let’s take a look at some of the ways that Fallout fans have come together to appreciate River and her role in Fallout 4. Dogmeat is not just a combat companion but also a loving in game pet, so gamers everywhere have come together to mourn the death of canine actress River. Dogmeat was a companion throughout the Fallout games, though River’s incarnation of the dog is from Fallout 4. They can get us through the toughest of times thanks to their love and companionship and the grief that can be felt at losing a dog- or any pet- is not something to ever be scoffed at. They may not be people but dogs are still a valuable and highly important to so many of us as family members. However, fans have been celebrating the life of the beautiful, female German Shepard with various tributes in game as well as on social media. River the German Shepard- who was the inspiration behind Dogmeat from Fallout 4– sadly passed away last week. As someone who recently lost a canine companion myself, this story made me a little emotional and so I really wanted to write about not just the sad news, but also the way that we gamers have come together to pay tribute to a lost, loved doggo.
