Video Game Cosplay: Fallout’s Dogmeat is Man’s Best (Digital) Friend
The bestest boi in the Fallout franchise gets well-deserved love – we’re talking about Dogmeat – the digital, IRL, and Cosplay icon!
We all love a good love story. Man and dog, manno and catto… many game franchises feature iconic partnerships between a human character and their pet. Whether it’s Pokemon‘s Ash and Pikachu, Borderlands Fl4k and Mr. Chew, Legend of Zelda‘s Link and Epona, or The Witcher’s Geralt and Roach…

There are classic pairings that steal our hearts and make us go “awwwwwwww.” (Check out this heartwarming article from Alyssa at GamesRadar for more iconic pairings).
Life imitates art in many cases, and the same is true for the cosplay community. There are countless hilarious videos and images on the internet of the frustrations cosplayers face trying to work their craft with cats underfoot. Check out a prime example – Kinpatsu Cosplay and her feline friend and “assistant”, Noodle.

There real-life inspirations behind some of these famous videogame counterparts. Fallout 4‘s canine compadre, Dogmeat, was inspired by a friendly neighborhood German Shepard. Lead Level Designer for Fallout 4, Joel Burgess, has shared some adorable videos of River, who was the character model for Dogmeat. (Long may he rest in the land across the Rainbow Bridge).
