other way instead of killing dogs?

[Caine]

in the quest where the gravedigger wants something from dogs i read that you can get those in barrels etc, but i think i used some of them for weapon coatings... am i lost and need to kill the dogs myself now? poor dogs....

Sometimes you find dog tallow in containers or by looting dead Salamandra corpses when they attack you at night.

Other than that, go slay a few doges.

I didn't like much that quest, too... poor dogs... I kept telling myself they were only a bunch of polygons and textures to go through that :(

Well, to be honest, the city was in quarantine and stray dogs are pretty much always carriers. So in fact you did the city a favor. Those dogs would have had to be killed and burned soon anyway.

Looking through notes on wiki, its actually an addition at some point that allows the dogs to be used for the completion of the quests.
An yep, as A3 mentioned - really not much difference between this and killing rats during the black plague.

[Ragnarök]

Killing off stray dogs and cats actually worsens plague in real life. Both catch the rats that carry the fleas. They didn't know this in the middle ages however, so the quest is fairly legit given the game's setting. Geralt probably knows it won't help things, but a Witcher's gotta eat.

I loved killing them. In fact I killed more of them that I was supposed to... They even tried to run away, which made it that much enjoyable chasing them and then stabbing them, listen to their whimpering and cries for help but no one came to help them, it was just me, and my blade. Oh yeah, I loved it. I hope the dev team adds more of this in Witcher 3, in fact if they just made the whole game about killing stray dogs, that would be amazing.

You dug out a three year old topic just to type 'lol' in it??
Well, I had a good laugh anyway. Now I'm off to kill some dogs, though I don't even need the tallow.



Later I'll go play The Witcher.

When ever decent people express themselves, there is always a creep around to piss on the stove.

Nothing wrong with digging up an old thread aye. Just scroll past. Anyway, I had a good laugh too. Good one, Max Planck.

Descent was a great old game and The Descent was a pretty scary movie. Personally, though, I hate killing any type of canine in any video game.

Jim Jones, the "preacher" responsible for the deaths of about 1000 innocent, gullible souls,
had a history of torturing and killing small amimals. That is a trait found in many mental defectives. Some of the dogs in the game demonstrate aggressive behavior, growling at
Geralt when he approaches them. Maybe the game guys put that in to ease our feelings.
I couldn't find enough dog tallow in the barrels, or on dead assassins, so I took the crutch
that Haggis McMutton used, and thought of the dogs as polygons & textures to get the game done.
