Three Dog

Three Dog is the radio host, DJ, and news anchor of the Galaxy News Radio station in the Capital Wasteland $$

Fallout 3
Three Dog was born to parents that were part of a traveling theatre group. He states that they were "very cool," teaching him how to differentiate propaganda from the truth, as well as preaching about "haters and their bullshit."

He also grew up listening to rock music and "hating the government that he never knew," adhering to the idea of free speech and communal law. He has seen the Capital Wasteland "at its ugliest," mentioning people being killed for scraps of food and wounded children wandering aimlessly, adding that if it weren't for the Good Fight, he would have gone crazy.

Three Dog operates Galaxy News Radio out of the GNR Building Plaza with the protection of the Brotherhood of Steel, offering them a "strong roof over their head," in exchange for keeping him safe for the "plenty of enemies" he has. With the help of his engineer assistant Margaret, the two work together to keep GNR in operation.

Three Dog uses GNR to fight the "Good Fight," which he states is using the "sound of truth," or his words, to report the realities of the wasteland, "no matter how bad it hurts." These realities include the threats of Slavers, Raiders and Super Mutants against residents of the wasteland. He also considers it his duty to counteract the propaganda spread by the opposing Enclave Radio, stating that they are fascists who "won't stop until they control every last one of us."

Fallout 4
In the Capital Wasteland Mercenaries Creation, Phil Goodman writes that Three Dog had gone missing and the Brotherhood of Steel had abandoned the area, resulting in the radio going silent "for a short while." His team of Good Fighters felt the need to continue the Good Fight, for the wasteland and for themselves.

Appearances
Three Dog appears in Fallout 3, Fallout Shelter, and Fallout Shelter Online. He is mentioned in Fallout 4, and the Creation Club Creation "Capital Wasteland Mercenaries."

Behind the scenes

 * During development, quest designer and writer Fred Zeleny suggested a side quest that involved bringing an archive of old tapes to Three Dog to increase GNR's music rotation. According to Zeleny, the songs added would pull from "audio files you had set in a special directory on your PC or console." Though the execution was "well within reach," Zeleny stated that Todd Howard nixed the idea due to concerns over music rights and not fitting the game's "intended tone."
 * The name of the character Three Dog is shared by a character played by his voice actor, Erik Todd Dellums, "Dog 3" in the film She's Gotta Have It.
 * Erik Dellums helped develop the character, including his signature howls.
 * Dellums has also expressed interest in reprising his role in a potential future installment.

Bugs

 * Occasionally, Three Dog will mention events that occur after the ending of the game. He will only do so if the player had downloaded the Broken Steel downloadable content and has not played through the part in the game before it.
 * Sometimes after starting a new game, Three Dog can be heard stating things that haven't come to pass yet. This has been known to last until you catch up with the event that he's referring to.
 * Sometimes Three Dog will start saying a comment and then quickly switch comments about the player over and over again. This can prevent you from listening to music for the rest of the game.
 * Occasionally Three Dog will repeat the "News" section of the broadcast 2-3 times over until he later continues playing songs again.
 * Sometimes even after killing Three Dog, you can still hear him broadcast the news but it will switch between Margaret and him. This can be corrected by loading a save before Three Dog is killed.
