Forum:Three Dog

Seriously, how is it possible NOT to like this guy? He's funny, cool, kind, and most of all, he hates the Enclave the second most in the whole damned Capital Wasteland. Just wanted to say my opinion of Three Dog.--72.65.223.28 21:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

He's a bit of a tool. I mean, when you come to him, desperate for information about your lost dad; he holds out on you. Not only that, but he sends you to a Super Mutant infested museum to get a dish for his sorry little radio station. Isn't the Brotherhood of Steel suppose to be running those little errands for him, as well as wiping out super mutants? It's a lot to go through just for some information that leads you on another goose chase. I don't hate 'em, but he's no saint. It's not like he gives you anything either. His news is pretty worthless and repitous, and his sorry ass "radio station" only has a dozen songs. In fact, I've considered making a mod that adds more songs to his rotation. There's plenty of great 1950s music about the bomb that would be totally relevant to fallout. --Nux Matrix 02:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I already knew where Dad had gone when I got the GNR, so in order to get me to help ThreeDog he gave me the key to an arms stash in Hamilton's Hideaway. Pretty disappointing selection of guns though for all the trouble you have to go to.--Mighty Quinn 20:06, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

What's so bad about the Enclave, anyway? Other than the whole, killing your dad thing. But hell, they're trying to get rid of all the bad things in the world. PlasmaFox 20:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Isn't the FEV supposed, when mixed with the water supply at the end of the game, supposed to kill off everything ?! How does that make the Enclave good? --Turbine2k5 20:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

The FEV only kills mutated humans. Admittedly, it doesn't have much tolerance with regards to what a mutant is, but hey, nobody's perfect. So, to give them their due, the Enclave are trying to help humanity. Just the same as the PC. Sure, their methods suck big time, but its not like their hearts are in the wrong place. In short, the goal is noble, but the methods and reasons behind seeking out that goal are what I don't like about them. Run4urLife! 20:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

They are intent on committing genocide on all mutants. Most mutants are as human as matters, most supermutants and some ghouls excluded, so what they are really trying to do is commit genocide on a race of humans. I rally don't want to invoke Godwin's law, but I think they were actually intentionally designed as a Nazi allegory. To make things even worse, they don't give a damn about the collateral damage, and don't care that eliminating their own target of hatred will also kill everyone but themselves, possibly even some of their own.--Sotanaht 12:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

When I met 3 Dog I thought about shooting him for his wise-ass remarks, but he is cool later on.-KTO!

Actually, I think people have the misconception that the modified FEV strain will only kill Supermutants and Ghouls. It is readily implied by Eden that 'unclean' versions of humanity will die thanks to teh modified FEV strain, and this includes Supermutants and Ghouls, yes, but also a great majority of the people living in the Wasteland. If you check the backstory of Fallout, most if not all of the Enclave originated from Fallout 2, from an Oil Rig that was spared the effects of nuclear war. The modified FEV therefore would have killed nearly everyone in the Wasteland, humans included, for as long as they have had prolonged exposure to radiation, for, as Eden himself put it, they are 'tainted', and saying specifically that it would be 'regardless of severity'. So they are only thinking of humanity in terms that they define, in other words, believing themselves to be the only true humans left. In this, they are quite similar to the Nazis, so I agree with Sotanaht. So are they evil? Here's an easy way to put it. Were the Nazis evil? Was Hitler evil? Your answer to those questions would be pretty much the same.

Oh, and just to get back on topic: Yes, I believe Three Dog is a bit of a tool. Personally if someone in an inhospitable world comes up to my door and says "I'm looking for my father, please help me," I would have just said 'Rivet City,' and be done with it. But then again, that's me. Magnum101 15:41, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

three dog should be killed as he rambles on about things u did ages ago but the only thing that stop me from killing him is the fact if you do you have to listen to his technition bitch about you and you cant kill her. i have however dressed him up in a chinease jumpsuit and cap as well as elder lyons lol Neillpaddy 23:02, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I like Three Dog, especially his comments while playing evil ("Nice work, SCUMBAG!"). On my second playthrough I completed his quest to get the key to Hamilton's Hideaway since I had already gotten dad's location from Rivet City. After he gave me the key, he went back to sleep, and I rifled his room for some lame stuff, and left. 15 minutes later, I'm killing ghouls on the Metro and I realize that I don't have the radio on, so I turn on GNR. A song plays, then on comes Margaret, stating that some asshole killed the DJ! I scooted back to GNR, and there was Three Dog, lying in his bed, dead. I took his headwrap and sunglasses and wore them for the rest of the playthrough.

All I could figure was that he woke up and turned hostile when I was rifling his room, and Clover killed him soundlessly in his bed with the Chinese Officer's Sword. Unfortunately, the last save I made was three hours before I discovered he was dead, so I had to suffer with Margaret for the rest of my playthrough. Needless to say, I couldn't FIND her so I could kill her and end my misery. thecrystalcrow 2.19.08
