Dogmeat

[Paradoxrifts]

The comic forgot to mention force fields. There was a location near the end of the original Fallout where Dogmeat would die by repeatedly walking through deadly force fields. It's even mentioned as the canon death in the game manual for the second game.

I remember my Dogmeat in Fallout 3 running away.
I know it wasn't a conscience thing, I just looked around and he wasn't there, it was weird.
Two days later I'm strollin' around and all of a sudden a popup tells me "Dogmeat has died".
I was like "... Alright."

I also remember a glitch in Skyrim that gave me a wolf follower.
He wasn't *really* a follower, just for some reason whenever I fast traveled, a wolf would appear right next to me. Wouldn't move, wouldn't attack, just sat there and growled at me.
I kind of liked him, even defended him from anybody who attacked him, got me in trouble with a lot of guards.
