There are only two numbered "Fallout" games...

The fans fought between K-9 Robot-dog and Dogmeat, the dog dog. So Obsidian has made a Cyborg-dog that's a combo of both! What's there to be sorry about? We get a De-luxe double-in-one package!

Zing~


Fans fought over which one was better?
Well. K-9 simply because he was not an easter egg, he was canon.

I found Dogmeat to be a total non-factor in FO3... Everytime I send him to search for "stuff" he disappears for days if not weeks. Hardly a very loyal companion. Looks like REX does the same "search" function, so hopefully that got tuned, otherwise I don't see myself using REX for very long.

no that damn dog ran away after 5 mins and still has yet 2 come back...

Here here!

"Dogmeat was just annoying in Fallout 1. He had a [censored]load of AP and would make combat last forever. And he was useless in Fallout 3 without the Broken Steel glitch. He's really only good for the Firelance encounter.

Dunno if he is worthwhile in Fallout 2 though."

Okay, he wasnt really usefull in any of the games, but still, Fallout is an RPG. A genre in wich you should grow attatched to certain characters, not to mention the extreme nostalgic feeling i get when discovering dogmeat in each game, and i too used the glitch where you kill dogmeat to get another companion (usually Charon and Clover, I usually play through with neutral karma or good karma, but i am a guilty slaver, wich i hate to say, but i feel no remorse for the enslaving of children and wastelanders) but after i did that i always felt bad, espiccially sents i would often come across dogmeat's corpse again, and again, and again. So, dogmeat always, rex was cool i guess, but i prefer dog meat.

I'm going to have the eyebot as a companion (pretty sure you can't have both rex and ED-E) so it's a mute point for me.

I never used him in FO3.I might use Rex in NV but only if I don't have to issue a stinpak to him after battle to make sure he's alright.

Y'know I never found Dogmeat in FO3, he wasn't in the scrapyard. 6/7 playthroughs and not once was he there, nor did he turn up anywhere else...weird.

Anyway, he was an easter egg in 2 and in 3 for weirdass reasons. A nod to him, hells yeah, a companion of him? No. Let it die now, though A dog is fine, since it's a good choice of companion to RP a lonely man in the wastes. Dogs are good for men to go crazy with and all.
