Could Mutt shut his face during a game of dice/farkle please?

[Tenchuu Khan]

Afaic it's gotten way better with the whole barking in the entire game but the higher your Houndmaster skill, the more Mutt becomes a nuisance... hence why I've to decided to eat him during my last plythrough

[corthew]

Set his behavior to "heel".

[Tenchuu Khan]

Heel just makes him come to you, you gotta make him SIT

It's just dumb that when I go in for a roadside event and play dice, Mutt keeps barking and I can't turn it off unless I resign... it's dumb

No, it was the most popular mod for KCD1 for many weeks on the nexus.

[Tenchuu Khan]

I only play Vanilla until I've cracked the game in terms of achievements - everything else would be cheating in my book - call me old-school.

Besides, only game I really played with mods was Minecraft - because they made the game awesome.

[Tenchuu Khan]

Oh and of course there was the Darthmod for Empire TW - still conquered the whole planet, game is so stupid easy that it's just a timing issue really

[Tenchuu Khan]

On the other hand, Shogun 2 TW is an actual timed run, - only thing that makes it hard really.

No it's not - his barking is decorative in both games, except in KCD you could order him to attract attention via command

LMAO and I thought I was the only one. I just sent him back home. Honestly, at this point in the game, I am powerful enough that I don't need him and he keeps getting his ass whopped anyway so might as well keep him far far away. I don't even need the extra Charisma because I maxed out anyway.

at this point in the game, he is kind of useless and just flat out annoying.

[Tenchuu Khan]

Well, on my fourth playthrough rn and I want to go for skillmaxing so I keep him around.

But that barking at seriously nothing of importance is what pisses me off.
He even barks at hunting spots like: wuff wuff - I found a hunting spot.
And then he barks at dead wolves and robbers and ♥♥♥♥. Might as well bark at nests I shoot down, wouldn't help me finding them anyway because I need to circle the approximate area until I finally find that pest just to find 2 eggs or a lockpick.


As said, compared to KCD1 it's gotten a lot better. I mean, every damn dog barked your ears off including Mutt.
But now he just barks like a real dog and it's like getting a random boner where you are like "What is it boy? What do you see" and there's nothing of relevance.

There should be some behaviour command in terms of randomly pointing out crap that isn't there. It's not like I signed up for a real dog....

PS: spoiler alert
even if you eat him, he immediately returns

I never actually got Mutt in KCD1.
But I find him to be vitally important in KCD2.
What I don't understand though is people complaining about the barking instead of just asking how you get him to stop.
You do it at the beginning of the game as part of the introduction, but so much time passes before you have him back that I understand why people forget.
Tell him to HEEL.
It's under BEHAVIOR.
Its the options that pop up when you look at him and press the corresponding key/button. On PC the default is LEFT ALT key.
I hardly ever bother though because he's so effective at finding loot-able items like chests, hidden camps, dead bodies, dropped weapons, graves, etc.

[Jeza]

Tell him to heel, just hold the X key or use the left alt and under behavior choose heel. He won't bark anymore.

If you go for a stealth operation leave him somewhere outside the zone and tell him to stay.

To me the only issue with him is that he walks in front of you, blocks your path and gets between your sword and the opponent. The follow distance should be bigger and his AI should make him stay behind you no matter what.
But he's so useful that I deal with the annoyance, though i'll admit he becomes less and less useful as time goes, but in the beginning he saved my skin more than once and allowed me to take on bandits that I could never have alone and get great gear very early.
