This is a surprise to me because Dellums was one of the first to tease Fallout 4's existence. Three years ago, he said on Twitter that may be reprising his role as Three Dog soon. He explained in a later interview that Bethesda had given him permission to make that tease:
I let [Bethesda] know that fans were clamoring, trying to figure out if there's any chance that Three Dog would be back sometime. And, you know, they let it slip that it looks like Three Dog will. And they said that, 'Well, maybe you could tell your fans.' I don't think they even anticipated it would explode like this.
Three Dog was the disc jockey for Galaxy News Radio in the Washington D.C. area. In addition to playing music, he commented on player's good or evil decisions in quests. His presence throughout the entire game made him one of the most memorable personalities from Fallout 3. I'm sure players would have appreciated him returning for another game.
However, bringing Three Dog back wouldn't have necessarily made sense. Fallout 4 takes place in the Commonwealth, the area formerly known as Massachusetts. It would be hard for anyone to make the long trek from the Capital Wasteland to the Commonwealth, much less a noncombatant like Three Dog.
Including him in the game would also force Bethesda to make one of the Fallout 3 endings canon. If the player was good, he purified the waters of the D.C. area at the end and there would be no reason for Three Dog or anyone else to leave. That would make that region arguably the most desirable place to live in the post-apocalyptic United States. The only plausible reason he would go to the Commonwealth would be if the player had decided to poison the city's waters instead and he was forced to flee. I don't think Bethesda wants to tell players what the "right" or "wrong" ending to Fallout 3 is, though, much less make the evil ending the "right" one.
Although Three Dog won't be part of Fallout 4, players will still have at least one radio station to listen to. Leaked casting documents for the game mentioned a DJ named Travis Miles. Considering how large Fallout 4's script is, it's also possible there's more than one disc jockey servicing the Commonwealth."

The same goes for that mouth-breather in New Vegas.
I shot him.
Three Dog is a likeable character with a good voice actor (one of the few voice actors in the game who actually emotes besides liam neeson) but his writing is elementary school english class levels of terrible.
Mr. New Vegas is the opposite - a well written character with good dialogue that feels suitable for the game world, but dear god that voice acting just makes me want to fall asleep.
As for Three Dog not being in FO4, that is a shame but at the end of the day it wouldn't make much sense for a character in DC to be in Boston.
"Abloo bloo, someone killed a bunch of murdering ghouls that slaughtered the innocent inhabitants of Tenpenny Tower. He's such a BAD PERSON."
^_^
But really... dont care. I dont have any particular problem with the character being in F3 but personally I didnt like him. At all.
PS: Having a radio host comment on our actons(less repeatedly mind you) like him would be kinda cool.
Not at all. And he *should* be bummed.
1. There's nothing special or anything about Three Dog - personally, I don't understand why people give a damn about a bit character who was not interesting in the slightest. Its like people asking if Dr Li is going to be in FO4 - who cares?
2. He got what he deserved. ETD seems to have a problem keeping his mouth shut and posting that he'll be in this or that production - seemingly as a tactic to drum up public pressure he can use to get hired.
He tweeted in *2013* that he'd be back in the game and that he had permission from Bethesda to say that - and neither were true.
Now - I don't *dislike* his character (or the VA himself), I just don't care if he's in it or not. And I don't understand why others do so much - its not like this is a *personally continuable* story - there's no continuity of character here, you're not the smae person as in FO3, your charcter knows and cares ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about any of the people in FO3 *and* having the same people pop up over and over all over the East Coast just makes the world a smaller place.
Time for a new story, with new people.
