Forum:Dogmeat invisible

I was playing through Fallout3 once again and while in the sewers you access from the way station, well I had saved before this had happened. while fighting a feral ghoul roamer, dog meat died, so I reloaded my previous save. HOWEVER, when I loaded it, dogmeat was no where around and a few seconds later the "dogmeat has died" messaged popped up. So, reloaded the checkpoint again and check where I last saw dogmeat, when I did this the text "dogmeat" appeared as if I had highlighted him, even though there was nothing there. when I engaged in dialogue, the screen turned a greyish hue and I was able to go through the dialogue choices with dogmeat. one of them being able to heal him. well I healed him and left the dialogue ques, screen around was still greyish, upon brining up the pip-boy everything reverted, dogmeat however continued to stay invisible and once again, I got the "dogmeat has died" message.

any ideas on why the hell this is happening?

I've noticed that sometimes when I load a save, bodies will be loaded into the ground so they go crazy by shaking around and sometimes being launched extreme distances into the air. This might have happened with Dogmeat and he might have hit a 'Death Zone' with caused his demise. DipCheese 00:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
