Forum:Where did Dogmeat go???

Hi,

I have FO3 for the PS3. I recentley found Dogmeat at the scrapyard and he agreed to follow me. Not wanting to get him killed before I knew how to use him best I sent him to Vault 101.... I've been back there and can't seem to find him? Am I doing something wrong??

im pretty sure that when u say go to vault 101 it means u fired him. u may have to look at the scrap yard again.--Xxsoulsignxx 00:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)


 * You risk losing the NPC life sometimes when you tell an NPC to go somewhere. For example, if you were to tell it to go run back to Vault 101, it may start running and then encounter an enemy that is just a bit out of your reach. It will start fighting and possibly could die. For example this happened to me when I told Fawkes to go away when I broke out of the Enclave building, but he ran off fighting some other people along the way I was walking. On the flip side, if you don't see your NPC walking off into a battle, and decide to fast travel somewhere, then the NPC is pretty much just invincible and "in-transit" to its destination.
 * You can test this on is when you accept to free Cherry from Dukov's place, leave her at Megaton for 5 days, and then see her run off back to Dukov's. You can follow her to see that she will attempt to fight anything she encounters along the way, and possibly die since she is armed with a knife and naked. Or you can just wait 1 day in Megaton as she runs off, and fast travel to Dukov's place to see her arrive magically unharmed. --Lord0din69 07:38, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Weirdly Dogmeat appeared at Vault 101 when I played yesterday.... That was probably 2 weeks worth of in game time since I found him and told him to wait there. He is now safe at my house in Megaton keeping Chatsworth company!
 * Dogmeat may also have been injured while in Scrapyard - he's fighting off a couple of Raiders when you find him, so his travel time may be longer than you might expect. Shadowgm 13:14, 12 December 2008 (UTC)Shadowgm

Thanks again,

 * Note that you don't have to worry. If Dogmeat or any of your companions die while in your employ, a message will pop up. "Dogmeat has fallen unconscious", "Dogmeat has died". --DarkJeff 15:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
