Forum:Messed up recruiting Dogmeat. Help.

I'm new to the whole Fallout franchise, and wasn't aware that Dogmeat was meant to be a companion. Earlier today I came across the Scrapyard to find Dogmeat attacking some raiders. Dogmeat then turned on me and I of course shot him, after a lot of effort putting him down (unconscious). I then fast travelled out of there. Now I know he's meant to be a companion is there any way I can get him back on side? I've been back to the scrapyard but can't find him there.

Yeah I had a problem with dogmeat too. I discovered the scrapyard on accident one time and kept going because I was on my way somewhere else. When I went back to find dogmeat as a companion, he wasn't there. There were three raiders and a dead body of an old wastelander but no dogmeat, and I tried going back a couple of times and he was never there, pretty lame if you ask me.

Perhaps it would behoove you to reload from an earlier save? Otherwise, yeah, you lose the dog. Go hire someone else until your next game. Snicker 19:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
