I'm at the end of the game getting ready to do Take it back.I keep reading about how tough Dogmeat and puppy are at the end but I'm not seeing it.Everywhere I go he dies.

Everywhere I go Dogmeat and his puppies always die too. Screw him. And his puppies.

Puppies? I've only had Dogmeat for a little while, but I haven't seen or heard of anything about puppies. So far Dogmeat has been virtually indestructible for me. I can literally sit back and let him kill everything.

It's a perk you get with the Broken Steel DLC. Also the near indestructible Dogmeat is a confirmed bug.
"Dogmeat's level scaling in Broken Steel is set up improperly, causing him to gain 5 times the health and damage dealt than what was intended."

Not sure if they fixed it or not.

yea my dog meat died suddenly and its impossible to find the body im alot more cautious with the puppy but it eneded up being to much work so hes been at vault 101 for a good 50 hours of gameplay

He becomes a pure tank if you have the Broken Steel add-on. Him and Fawkes.

I think that perk is stupid. Do you only get 1 puppy per time you pick that perk?
I just tell Dogmeat to wait at my Megaton house and he just stands by my bobbleheads, I really do not want to waste a perk on a companion that will get killed :cryvaultboy:


Also, if your Dogmeat dies, you can always have him live on, in your home, office, vault, or stomach! Just loot his body, and let Dogmeat live on in your life!*


*Keep refrigerated*

dogmeat is good at finding things. he can get stuff that you can't get.

I have Broken Steel installed, and yet, he always dies right away. On one of my earlier characters... Dogmeat and I were attacked by some raiders. He, of course, died right away. I managed to survive, but just barely (cue loud, beating heart). I needed some health, so I.... uh.... ate Dogmeat. :foodndrink: So I guess he helped me out that one time.

This thread is full of win, lol
