Are you kidding? He brings the gun right to you.

I feel like he is the only one actually contributing. All the other companions seem to hardly do any damage, whereas the honorable doggo goes staright in an hassles the enemies, biting them and dragging them down for me to shoot. 10/10 good boy.

Yeah I like him for that too, plus with the Lone Wanderer perk he doesn't count against your carrying weight.
For missions though I now tend to use a pimped up Robobrain/Assaultron robot with one hand for melee who basically does the same thing that Dogmeat does and carries a lot of weight. Dogmeat is good for teleporting around settlements doing administrative stuff plus he looks badass in his combat armor.

If I could train him to get the feck out of my way, then sure. Otherwise, he's a moving speed bump. I'll grant that he is a vicious battle-dog when in attack mode, though.

i feel immersed tenfold with dogmeat his ai has improved alot since release, i came back after two years and i must say the game grew on me its running silky smooth on my 1070, last time i played the game it ran like complete crap on my 970 and was a buggy mess so i gave up on it, two years later im really digging it as long as you realise you must be the good buy smh and accept most of the true rpg elemtns from other fallouts were scrapped its an ok game

Would that put a performance hit on older graphics cards? I've got an old Nvidia 760 that is still going strong but it might not cope with the overload. lol

The game sucks without Dogmeat. It was the highlight for me.

IN fact in 76 i have fun with other people but I really want a companion I want a dog.. and they wont fing give me one.

He's utterly useless. He's a nearly-hundred-pound German Shepherd, and all he can do is grab a humanoid enemy's wrist? He can't shoot a gun—he has zero offensive capabilities!

You tell him to look for stuff, and you KNOW there's something nearby…and he sniffs the ground RIGHT UNDER HIS NOSE, without casting about like a REAL search dog would, and he reports utter failure.

They need to nake a mod where you can shoot him to death.
