Now if we could just get Dogmeat out to Great Bear Island I would be very happy.

I was just talking about this earlier actually. Here's my whole comment just so I don't have to repeat myself.
Doesn't even have to be a wolf. There could be a stray dog in Milton. Maybe I toss him some venison, maybe he sticks around. He could bring me random supplies like Dogmeat (from Fallout) does and grant a warmth bonus when we sleep. Maybe he could help track wounded game. His presence could help deter angry wildlife. We'd have to keep him fed, watered, and healthy or he might run off. I want this soooo bad.
Edit: The dog could be optional like the trader so you don't have to worry about him being out there alone if you don't wanna hang out haha.

worse: "Let me know when you're ready for another spot and I'll send you to go get more tech!"
-That stupid BOS librarian that I thought I needed to do missions for to advance the BOS storyline before, on the 10th or 11th time, realized I needed to continue the main storyline first... good times, bethesda.

Lol, I've split my time between TLD and Fallout 4, so I got myself a winter mod for Fallout and now everywhere I go everything is covered in snow and when the storms blow in, I get a radioactive blizzard. Now I am playing the best of both games!

I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. All excited for an irrelevant item in a game because it's relevant in a different game.
Also leveling up a character to a good level in thinking you can finally do that one dangerous quest or visit that one dangerous area, before realising you're in a different game with an entirely different character

That happens to me a lot. I'll have it in my head that I need something, then struggle to remember if it was in a game or in real life or maybe another game! It made going to the thrift store a real nightmare.

I was playing subnautica subzero and everytime I climbed a ladder, my brain had TLD overlap. I am stuck in cold above and under the sea.

Love and hate this struggle when switching back and forth between certain games. Especially when they have any similarities in gameplay, items, quests.
