I'm might go get him soon and have seen some mixed feelings on the dog. Anyone got it yet? Is he trouble or actually useful?

How is Dogmeat even in this game?

FAWKES!

But really, I haven't even found Dogmeat myself.

"How is Dogmeat even in this game?"

I think he's pretty good. He refuses to die, really. He can  take one hell of a beating.

it's not the original dogmeat"

wait...so he's a dog you can get?  I knocked him unconcious early in the game and figured he was part of some quest.

where the fuck he at?

Yeah, where do you find Dogmeat? Is he in the other city... not megaton?

I can't live without the knowledge of dogmeat's whereabouts.
help me.

He's in a scrapyard. I'll boot up the box and try to tell you the exact location.

I just left him at the vault.  i dont want him to die.

Scrapyard. Got it.

Okay. The scrapyard is between Minefield and Bethesda Ruins, if you have those. If not, Bethesda Ruins is on the road northeast of Megaton, and just go north from there.

How's Dogmeat controlled? Is it just A.I, or is there an interface you can use to tell him to stay, and the like.

I just got him... and pretty much the first thing he did was agro some strong enemies i couldn't handle... then I tried to tell him to go to vault 101 to get out of danger... but he decides to continue fighting lol. Had to reload because he died... so he lives up to his rep. But when I fought enemies I could kill... he was a pretty damn good tank and did pretty good damage.

You can talk to him and tell him to stay and find items. But it's AI controlled he just keeps attacking crap when you're near an enemy even when you tell him to do something, I think... I only tried telling him to go back to the vault. He also glitches corners and jumps a lot. He also made the fire ant queen glitch into the wall for me which was great haha.

My dogmeat seems to be pretty strong now. He's died a few times but they were understandable, one was against a behemoth, but he can tank 3 super mutants pretty good. Maybe if you use him a lot he gets stronger too?

Dogmeat can be really good or he can suck.  Maybe has to do with crts on him?  More often he runs off on me and gets killed before I even notice hed gone, or something glitches and he dies.  IE I went into the washington monument, your party does not follow you in.  I go up the elevator and get a msg that he has died.

Dogmeat is a total dick. I tried taking him out for one adventure, he ran off so far I couldn't even see him, and by the time I found him he was killed by a shitty Protectron. I loaded the save, took him back into My Megaton House, and left him there where he was and where he will stay for the rest of the game. I'm not out ranging the wastes simply to babysit a retarded dog.

Dogmeat gets OWNED by robots.  Many of his deaths for me were from him running off and fighting one.  His perception is 10x better then yours, when he growls there is something nearby, and you need to worry about him running off.

Yea i dont know why you cant pick some attack options, like always attack, attack if you main char is attacked, dont attack at all.

Well the AI is simplistic because, well, he is a dog. But I like him (maybe it's because He was super awsome in Fallout1 )
