i reckon allot of the characters in fallout shelter will be the ones returning, just a hunch

I feel like Harkness may be a returning NPC. Just because he came from the common wealth and it be cool if the sole survivor had to help him out of the common wealth and to D.C but who knows.

Does anyone know the timing of Fallout 4 compared to Fallout 3? I thought they happened nearly at the same time (both are set in 2277), which means Harkness would already be in DC.

That said, we could have him come back and liberate his enslaved brethren from the likes of Zimmer. :-D

I think it takes place a little after. I'm pretty sure they said something about Three Dog being in it. I'm guessing he left DC after the events of 3 took place.

I'm hoping that we see the return of Harold/Bob, but in the form of some little 'Groot in a plant pot' way.

Theres just something that I would find hiliarious about a miniture sentient tree, who's still got all the anger issues which Bob/Harold have... That genuinely might be reason enough for me to learn how to use the various 3D modeling programmes xP

i think three dog could be in f4, and i think also moira, the enclave and marcus

@LordDADDO - Three Dog has been confirmed as NOT being in Fallout 4.

Sadly Three Dog wont be in fallout 4. Dogmeat is a returning char tho ! (jk lol). But personally I would like to see some sort of super mutant companion (fallout 3) in fallout 4. Most likely there won't be any returning characters, so sad.

The Lone wanderer? Maybe? I mean, He never died and he just walked on his own path with DogMeat. It would be pretty cool to see your old protagonist (Dead or alive, It doesn't matter).

Sadly, I think it was confirmed by Bethesda (might have been in Dellums' tweets) that they're not going to involve any characters pivotal to the plots in future games to avoid breaking someone's cannon.

The problem with that is that the Lone Wanderer looks however you made him/her. If he/she showed up, it would mess up the lore. Let's say the Lone Wanderer shows up. He's a black guy with a masculine face. That would screw with lore if you made the Lone Wanderer a white girl.

The only ways I can see the Lone Wanderer showing up is in mentions, a shadowy figure just out of sight, or a dead body in un-removable power armor.
