Talk:Three Dog/Archive 1

I don't know where Billy Dee Williams came from. The credits and IMDB list Erik Dellums as having provided the voice. Revelation-23 22:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Billy Dee Williams was credited with performing Three Dog on his Wikipedia page, but without citation and before Erik Dellums had been added to FO3's IMDB credits. I've since corrected the Billy Dee Williams page. --Phiont 05:41, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Three Dog's character is quite similar to Angry Bob (voiced by Iggy Pop) in the 1990 Film Mark-13 Hardware http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_(1990_film)

First time I heard about the guy, I immediately assumed from the name that he is a self-taught tribal DJ...--Amitakartok 22:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

When I first heard about the guy from the Brotherhood of Steel Knight just before you meet him, I thought "Three Dog" was his code name. I hardly ever bothered tuning in to his station prior to meeting him.

Trivia
I move this here:

"Three Dog's howling may be in relation to the 1960's radio personality Wolfman Jack, who would play a recorded wolf howl during his time on the radio."

I think he howls because his name is "Dog" and doesn't have anything to do with Wolfman Jack. --MadDawg2552 19:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Dude, don't you have anything to contribute? Is your only purpose on this site to remove trivial content? I mean seriously. If you combine factors, three dog and wolfman just seem to correlate more and more. Both ran pirate radio stations at some point in their lives Radio Caroline in the wolfman's case. Both men have the same on-air howl. Both seem to use a small amount of Brooklyn accent. In many live appearances Wolfman Jack wore a big afro wig and large sunglasses. He was well know for promoting the the "Rebel" motorcycle.... Wolfman Jack urged patriotism and registration with the United States Selective Service - much as Three dog urges support of the Brotherhood.... In the Ray Stevens song "The Moonlight Special," Wolfman Jack got props as Mr. Sheepdog.....The list goes on but I'm sure it would be lost on someone with so little imagination.

 * Maybe if some of that was mentioned in the article or maybe *gasp!* a reference was pointed out it would be clearer for people that have never heard of Wolfman whosit. Maybe you should check on my contributions and you will see I have made positive changes to this site, not just remove stupid crap that shouldn't be here in the first place.  If you can't tell by now, I hate trivia sections and I will tailor them for the betterment of the articles that contain them, seeing as how I am not allowed to remove them entirely. --MadDawg2552 21:00, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay well I'm sorry for being overly rude. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 21:01, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

diary?
it says he has one on his corpse but i killed him and he didnt have it..is there a certain way i have to kill him to get it?


 * I don't think there is one. I checked his entry in the GECK and found nothing of the sort, and I'm also not turning up anything in the Notes section pertaining to him.  --MadCat221 08:22, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Three Dog's diary doesn't exist, it's just a made up item by some noob probably. If the diary isn't in the game files, it doesn't exist. --Chiefsean16 20:16, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Specific Quotes
We REALLY need to get started on a section that shows players his quotes to quest specific material or karma specifics.


 * It really ticks me off when he cycles through his PSAs or won't shut up about Greyditch when all I want to hear is his Level 20 Neutral spiel. I kept that damn radio on for 30 minutes trying to hear that sound byte. 71.32.95.155 07:11, 9 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I just got lv 20 Neutral now and I heard it within 1 minute lol --86.25.180.101 07:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That's a roger, adding them now.--Amitakartok 18:28, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

It's FIRES not VIRUS
When Three Dog is talking about radiation, he says "flesh FIRES", not "flesh VIRUS."

I concur

No, i doubt he ment Virus, Im sure He meant fire as in a joke that radiation will cause your skin to catch fire and melt seeing as melting flesh seems to be right up a ghouls alley. (grammar and spelling edited by Kale Nekona 03:00, March 13, 2010 (UTC))

Quests that three dog comments on
I'd really appreciate if there was a list of quests which three dog comments on. Believe it or not, I only do quests for his praise. Anyway, I know he comments on Trouble on the Home front at least, the megaton bomb quest, what else? --Dimatodd 21:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * This is the list from the GECK:


 * Escape!
 * Following in His Footsteps
 * Galaxy News Radio
 * Tranquility Lane
 * The Waters of Life
 * Finding the Garden of Eden
 * The American Dream
 * The Power of the Atom
 * Those!
 * The Superhuman Gambit
 * Agatha's Song
 * Strictly Business
 * The Replicated Man (only the negative ending)
 * Oasis (about a forest fire, so I think only if you burn Harold)
 * Rescue from Paradise
 * Big Trouble in Big Town
 * Head of State
 * Stealing Independence
 * The Wasteland Survival Guide
 * The Nuka-Cola Challenge
 * Blood Ties
 * Tenpenny Tower (in favor of the residents and in favor of the ghouls)
 * You Gotta Shoot Them in the Head
 * Trouble on the Homefront

That is all.--Amitakartok 18:27, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

"Dr.Bloodmoney's" Walt Dangerfield
First of all, I have never read Dr Bloodmoney. Anyways, Three Dog reminds me of Super Soul (Cleavon Little) from the movie Vanishing Point, the original version, released in 1971. Even though Vanishing Point isn't set in a post-nuclear universe, Super Soul roots for the main character just like Three Dog does in the game.

Where'd ya go?
Three Dog just disappeared on me. Do you think he willed himself into the map or something? Joebucks 14:09, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Random bolding?
What's with all the seemingly random bolding and caps in his quotes? --MadCat221 03:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It's because these lines are emphasized in the speech. --wexer9 00:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Broken Steel
Two things involving him and broken steel.

I think the level 21-30 comments should be listed as well.

Also, why does he sound more Nasally in the expansion? All the new sound clips for him sound different. --74.5.177.164 02:41, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

He also comments on the mission Who Dares Wins when it ends in the Brotherhood's favor.


 * There's a bug with him in Broken Steel where, for some reason, he sometimes won't say karma titles from past level 20. Kahlzun 07:24, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Quotes/Radio Dialouge removed?
I'm leaving the article as is for now, but I notice the quoted radio dialouge was removed as "useless content". Is it written at some other part in the wiki? Because as far as I personally can see, that's pretty useful information to be posted somewhere. Kilereren 02:04, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to see it put back. TearsOfBlood 10:09, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

I third that.

I'll fourth that. SapphireTomoe

brother ?
if your mother is african american as her model surgests, could 3 dog be your brother. dad went to 3 dog for some reason, on his leaving vault 101. it puts a bit of a twist on some of his chatter :O) or am i getting into this game way too much ?

Jeez, that is terribly offensive, just cause someone is black it doesnt mean the next black person is related. Killin&#39; mutants since 97 04:55, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it's actually not offensive, since he bases his reasoning on more than just skin colour. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/4/4a/Naglowaa_se.gif/11px-Naglowaa_se.gif Tagaziel (call!) 07:34, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

three dogs technicion
I killed Three Dog and his technician took over the radio saying "Hello, this is the technician speaking into the microphone like anyone gives a shit." :0 Looks like "The Good Fight" has a technician.

What would happen if you kill Three Dog?
So...What happens? Does it hurt your quest at all? Do it turn teh brotherhood against you? What happens?

His technician takes over, and doesn't say anything funny :(

Speech test
I've tried the speech test for like 20 minutes now.. To skip the quest. It feels impossible. I have 60 speech and there's 38 percent to success.. And still it always fails. Is this a glitch, bug or just VERY bad luck? I will comment 10 mins later if I get it.

Does anyone else occasionally have Three Dog get "stuck" in a run and constantly report just one thing, ignoring any newer resolved quests?

Lately all I hear Three Dog talk about is the killing of the Ghouls outside Tenpenny Towers, despite having done a lot of quests sicne then - it was a long time ago.

This happened in another run with the same quest, not sure if that'll happen for other quests or just that.

Other Influences
I am sure Three Dog sounds and acts a lot like Mad Dog, the 70s DJ from the Lionhead games The Movies, unless they both are influenced seperately from the same source, because the DJ sounds like Three Dog and howls on air. Thetford 14:35, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
