dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 4:53:07 PMSadly the new Fallout Shelter mobile game isn't avail on Windows phones/tablets, so we're unlikely to hear about it here.

dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 4:54:19 PMI hate to admit it, but in dozens of hours in Fallout 3, I never met the dog companion. I must have done something wrong.
