My father, Dave, passed this spring, and he loved this game with all of his heart. I came here to immortalize him in the game he loved. He loved this game and played it every day, unless his kids were playing it, and even then I imagine he still played it in his head. He bought the 3rd one as soon as it came out. Even at that time, I got a choice to buy Dead Space and Fallout, I chose Dead Space. My dad, being the sneaky one he was, went back to the Walmart 30 miles away, in the middle of the night... And bought Fallout 3, the same day I bought Dead Space.

My dad loved all of Bethesda to, not just Fallout. When Skyrim was announced, he picked me and my brothers up from the coast, and took us back to his house in the country, a little town called Prineville OR, and we all played the game Oblivion. God those were fun times. I'm gonna miss having him as my father, and as a friend. But I don't want anyone to get sad or feeling bad for me, even if you weren't going to in the first place. All I'm asking for is, a memorial, or some sign that shows my dad was immortalized into the game he loves and the one he never got to see.

Condolences

If you're asking for some sort of memorial in the game, I suggest you mail Bethesda directly. I doubt any of the developers will ever come here.

I'd say your dad is the man, and I'd say your first playthrough of FO4 may need to be named in his honor.


God bless, brother. I'm positive he'll be watching on as you play!

If I may make a suggestion:

If Bethesda don't do anything, a great 'memorial' for your father could be to spend time creating a mod that encompasses what he enjoyed and would be perfect for him. The mod would always be there for you and others to experience.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad I hope you will keep his passion inside you and enjoy the hell out of Fallout 4! Oh and if you really want to have a memorial for your father in either Fallout 3 or the upcoming Fallout 4 your best place to ask for this is in the NEXUS Forums!

They are literally the most helpful and friendly modding community out there and I'm sure you will find one who will help you, maybe even someone from this forum! If you want to take a look I can leave the link here: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/272-fallout-3/

I really wish now you and your father could have had the time to be able to enjoy Fallout 4 together but I'm sure that he'll be always with you no matter what :c Especially when you do something which you both really like!

I doubt that Bethesda themselves will do anything like that...because...if they allow one thing multiple other people will try to do the same and well, you probably get the idea. I'm sure though that the modding community can and WILL help you out!

I'd try it myself but I'm horrible in modding I once did a grave mod for Adam Adamowicz (former Lead Artist of BGS), it wasn't anything great but people liked it somehow. Still, nothing special though

edit: This is what I meant http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9965/?%C2%A0%C2%A0I guess you mean something like this? Alltough you'd want something more special and unique for your father.

It sound like you have some very good memories.

Not to give you any false hope, but in TES3 the devs put in the names of some community members on some urns as tribute after they died.

Thank you all...

Condolences.

If someone could make a mod, a companion mod for Fallout 4, it'd be my first mod I get on consoles.

I'd dare guess it would be wishful thinking. The better option would be to make a mod with something, even an actual character.

Sorry to hear that Lakeoms.

I have to agree with Senor Cinco that Bethesda may just have too much on their plate to deal with this kind of request. But approaching modders, who do it more for love of the game and community is definitely worth a shot.

That said, if you really want to try with Bethesda, I don't think the forum is the best way. Maybe contact them directly, but don't get your hopes up.

All the best.

My condolences. I say make a mod and you will always have your Dad in your game. This way he will always be immortalized in your game when you play Fallout 4. Consoles, or is it just the Xbox One can have mods as well now so if you play on the Xbox One you can have a mod for your Dad.

Sorry for your loss.

Others spoke of mods, and that's a great idea! Unfortunately you'd probably have to contact Bethesda directly if you wanted them to do anything for you.

I did have a question though: would you be uncomfortable if someone made a character based off your dad? Even if it were in name only with good karma?

My condolences. Perhaps you should build something in the game in memory of him

No...

I wouldn't mind.

I'm a dad that's almost 50 years old, and I am a HUGE Bethesda freak. I waitied in line at Gamestop for Skyrim, and I'll be doing it again for Fallout 4. My wife and advlt daughter think I'm nuts. For GTA V, I was the only balding older guy waiting at midnight at Gamestop. All the younger kids got a kick out of it!

I can totally relate to your dad, I'm the same way.

Condolences Lakeoms.

I will destroy many mirelurks and super mutants in his honor.
