I just found out Scratch the dog can...

[FizzlePopBerryTwist]

... fetch.

Everyone loves the doggo. You can pet. Talk. And there was a full sequence where you got a ball for him and threw it and i thought "yeah thats cool!"

Good boy.

Now i started the game after a few weeks break and couldn't remember my map hotkey and tapped around and suddenly the dog rushed to me as i tried another random button...

wtf?? i thought . did i hit the "call the dog hotkey??? does that only work at camp?!!"
and i hit it again and the dog kept moving on... (wut??
and i hit it again and he comes back - AND IT HIT ME! - I WAS IN THE *THROWING STANCE*

"♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DONT TELL ME YOU CAN DO THAT?! - WHAT DO I HAVE THAT DOESNT EXPLODE?!!!"

*throws thief keys*
dog runs
dog catches
dog brings back
Message YOU RECEIVED THIEF KEYS!

MY MIND !!BLOWN!!

---- Why? ----
There is a youtube series about a guy filming his non gaming girlfriend playing games and learning 'gaming rules' for the first time and trying to understand game logic...
-> and I am on the other end of the spectrum!

30 something years of "use our options or GET NOTHING" did this to me!
I am so hardcoded into 'there are only so many things any game can do' that it never crossed my mind...

... and then there is BG3 like "bro. its a dog. that's what they do"
and me "for real?!"
BG3 "yeah..."
me "NO WAY!"

Every time those small things happen i nearly slip of my chair!

10/10.
BG3 not just rose the bar for all future RPG's - it THREW IT XD

♥

EDIT: testing what he can fetch... armor is too heavy!
... and if you are in stealth mode he doesn't notice you throwing!!

My god they went through ALL ITEMS and assigned the ability [fetch: yes/no XD
(at least i like to imagine that's how it went. lmao. key mechanic!!

[DargonBlak]

i shoot every dog i see with arrows until they stop moving

it's best if the dog stays home

Scratch is indeed the best boy.

This kind of bit me in the ass recently, when I threw a backpack to cover up a vent trap :)

Haha, yup, that one happened to me too. Also lost him once in the bibberbang-field, when he rushed in to, I assume, fetch the burning torch. Scratch is still a very good boy, but also dumb as a brick, at times. 😂

You assume wrong.

There's a hidden digging area there. He was trying to show you where it was.
