Really? My first thought was "who wants to hear revolutionary era fife music?"

That is weird! I had no idea. Thank you! Learned something new after 100's of hours. I'll have to take a listen.

Revolutionary Era Fife enthusiasts?

I've never met one, but, you just know they must be out there.

This I can totally agree with. More like Atom Bomb Baby basically - doo wop and Rock & Roll.

Exactly!

I like it. I didn't even know there was any in the game, because I didn't do the minutemen quests.

"...All quiet, and that's the way we like it."

Yeah, I agree. That's kind of annoying.

And even though I liked Three Dog, he did get kind of repetitive. If they could reintroduce him with a lot more variety, both in what he says, but also the music he plays. Well, that'd be alright by me

I admit that Three Dog kind of ruined other DJs for me. I didn't like Mr. New Vegas either. Three Dog just had the charisma needed to be a great DJ, the others, not so much (and in Travis' case, the exact opposite). Plus, I felt Three Dog was the only one who had a "radio voice". Travis sounds like some dude at a Magic the Gathering tournament.

As for music, the More Where That Came From mod adds over a 100 new songs. Always one of the first things I pick up.

I normally hate DJs like 3Dog in real life but I he is my favorite charcter in Fallout 3.

I don't know about you, but I consider Three Dog to be one of the most annoying things about Fallout 3. And there are plenty of those in it. Everything about that character other than his looks was insultingly dumb.

I will never understand this. Why do so many people like Three Dogs? After a few minutes of even listening to him I just go "Yup, time to blow this annoying idiot's head off", he isn't all that great of a radio personality or character in general. Both Travis and Mr. New Vegas are miles ahead of him in every way.

I remember spending sooooo long waiting for a chance to kill the bastard. One of the best things in F3 is blowing his head sky high and thank Azura beth didn't make him unkillable.

I was actually surprised he wasn't in Fallout 4. He said he got called in to do voice over work for the next installment of Fallout, oh about 2 years ago.

So, he either does other voices, or maybe something related to him with dlc is coming in the future. Or maybe they canned the idea.

I wasn't going to link to his tweet but I couldn't resist, had to search. https://twitter.com/etdellums/status/288757510406557697

This is why they could never(thankfully)bring that gob[censored]e back, as evident in this thread a lot of people(myself included) beat him to death then cut his body up into small pieces. So unless he has T-1000 style abilities there's going to be continuation discrepancies.


Personally I really liked the classical station, but that's off air now, for some reason. Nothing to do with me.

I'm glad Three Dog didn't make a return. The self-righteous hypocrite can rot in DC for all I care.

I never got the hate for him. He a good person and entertaining( imo).

How is he a self righteous hypocrite?

If Galaxy News radio was taken off line it could only be Maxson and his BoS goons who didn't want the truth being aired in DC. I suspect if he set up shop in the Commonwealth he would run into the same bunch of goons who do not tolerate differing opinions.

Well, where to start. Putting aside his general big-headed and scummy demeanor not to mention the fact its difficult to like someone who is so fundamentally un-likeable, let's get to the nitty gritty.


When confronted with a rather naive 19(ish?)year old kid fresh from a vault, who was desperate to find his/her father, instead of simply sharing the information (which would of been the "good" thing to do)he sent them off on a suicide mission to retrieve a communication relay nessessary for his little vanity project. He enjoys the protection of the brotherhood without helping them in any tangible way and just basically sits in his Ivory tower slagging everyone off without contributing anything himself. Plus apart from a handful of functioning radio sets and "the kid from 101's" pipboy, who does he think is actually listening to his crappy station? How deluded is this sociopath?


In short, he's a scumbag and(at least in my head canon)he's a dead scumbag. ??

I like Travis, he is a simple and down to earth guy. A bit of a wimp, but after the personal quest he is just radiating confidence on air, i love that little change.

Great example of how the impact in game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gSKkdlnZGA

Spoiler warning on the video, it covers the Fridge quest in Fallout 4.

Out of habit I guess, but I want to click "like" on a lot of the posts in this thread.

I feel like an overhaul of the (area-wide) radio stations in this game are desperately screaming for modding.
I had an idea for adding genre-based radio stations, where the mod accesses youtube and streams endless genre-based music. I don't even think the IRL pop-up commercials are immersion breaking since it could be an old recording of a stream or whatever.

However, should some talented individuals be interested in acting some radio, that would be even better. There are plenty of talented bands and/or good uncopyrighted music out there to fill the gaps between scripted and/or improvised speaks.

A (potentially immersion breaking) alternative could be simply hooking Fallout 4's Pipboy up with some actual (live) podcasts and/or free radio stations.

For some people he was great. I liked him, even if I found it weird he knew my every move.


@SetoKaiba: Because he had a moral code and some gamers just want to watch the world burn and not be called out on it.

*rolls eyes*

Look at his whole ideology of "Fight the Good Fight." He's always willing to tell others to do stuff to help other people, but he never actually bothers to lend a hand himself. Most specifically, his treatment of the Lone Wanderer. He has information on your father, and rather than give it to you, he wants you to go fix his radio tower for him, which just so happens to be in the middle of Super Mutant territory. But what about everyone else? Well, after he relates your story to the Wasteland, he tells people to help you out, something he refused to do. He says he's willing to do "Whatever. It. Takes." to keep the Capital Wasteland free, but won't leave the safety of his stronghold to push back raiders or even fix his own antenna. The Good Fight has one rule: "You want help, you have to contribute." But considering the circumstances he finds himself in, by his own logic, he should contribute to you. His "Fight" is lost without the help of you, some merc, or the Brotherhood, since he's unwilling to do the job himself. But no. It's all about his "fight," which is him sitting in a room talking into a mic.

So he talks about people doing what they can to help others, despite doing nothing for someone else unless it directly benefits him, all the while acting like he's morally superior to all others around him, and even insults your intelligence if you "don't see the bigger picture."
