Fort Hagen is a frigging nightmare if you have both the [censored] dog and Valentine together. The asinine dialogue wheel and the command option are totally [censored] up. I want to talk to Valentine, but the game will only allow me to command him. Therefore, I cannot send that friggin mangy mutt back to Sanctuary.

I got so pissed that i shot the dog and walked away. I want to talk to Valentine, not the [censored] dog.

I am so fed up with the [censored] [censored]. This game is starting to svck. Fix the frigging [censored], [censored] it.

Way to overreact

If you were more patient and/or took a break to decompress, you'd find the solution is really rather simple.

Reload your game before Dogmeat finds Fort Hagen, let him find it and the PC confirms with the dog this is the spot. You'll get a pop up that says Dogmeat is available for your companion, at which point he is then capable of being Talked to and Dismissed.

Lol

I took a break, but I had to restart from Diamond City. Just as we were nearing the last fence with the bloody rag on it the damn dog went chasing after deer. But, I saved the game anyway. After the damn dog returned he headed for the steps of Fort Hagen. And, this is what I got:

"Dogmeat is available to be your companion."

Click on Dogmeat and you get the talk Option"

"Everything Okay? Trade. Never mind. Lets Go."

Valentine:

"Command Option"

You were wrong, sorry! LOL!

So you don't know how the command option works, so you [censored]

ffs

Wait, what? The moment Nick, Dogmeat and me reached Fort Hagen Nick said something along the lines of 'we should let the dog rest', and it was just me and Nick from then on?

Even if that fixes the solution it's still a poor workaround. Think about it. Forced to reload a game because of bad game mechanics.

I'm having trouble with commands vs other stuff myself. Soon as I command someone I'm stuck with "Push interact to command them over there" until I talk to them again. Or at best wait it out.

I cannot talk to anyone now, all the game wants me to do is issue a [censored] command. I want to trade some things with Piper. and the only thing that comes up is command. It is beyond ridiculous.

I know how it works numb nuts. I have been playing since day one. Go insult your mother?

svcks to svck lol

I still I am right even if I am wrong. The fact of the matter is the command option should be set within the dialogue wheel. Then there would be no issues whatsoever. But I digress.
