Character skins for Dogmeat/Pal?

[Damien]

How about dog breed options that allow you to select a Shepard class dog breed like a Boxer, or Rottie or Pit Bull? They too have very expressive faces, make them a DLC offering like a armor, clothing or weapons pack.

A large Rottie, Pit or Boxer, shorthaired and muscular looks like it can do a lot of damage, and even haul some weight in a pack harness, at least as much as a large shepard,

Those of us who know such short muzzled, broad faced dogs can really find a lot of expression in their faces.

Why did you make another of the exact same thread?

It was a lie, you know that, i know that , everyone knows that.

You can repeat that as much as you wish. That will not make it true. Learn to accept the opinions of others.

The reason they use that dog (I forget the breed name) in the original mad max movies that was the dog so in fallout 3 the cover had the lone wanderer with a dog next to him so it looked like the cover of mad max

This would fit well with Bethesda's usual way of making companions. Since they're lifeless shells without backstory anyways, it doesn't really matter how they look.

The ones in fallout 4 have a good backstory, i think. Because there will be a romance thing a little bit like the one in mass effect.

Someone who was at Quakecon mentioned this on Reddit. Whether or not this is true we have no way of knowing.

Would be nice if they took a hint from Obsidian on this one, but I'll reserve judgment.

Any source to this claim?

All we know is that there is romance. It won't necessarily work the same as Mass Effect (and I hope it's better than that).

Nevermind, found a source to the romance thing. I don't know if I completely believe it yet, considering you are married in the start of the game and have a child.

EDIT: Apparently Todd himself said you could romance them? I don't know, I guess we'll have to see how that turns out.

Dog meat

My first game with Dog meat I grew attached and felt bad sending him to safety, watching him walk off head and tail down like he was being punished.

I've been out living great dogs for over 50 years now and when he died so easy and I had to start the game over to try again, I took that like so many other gamers had that there was a patch or mod I could down load, as well as a "cheat code" to make him immortal.

(Any chance any FO3 "cheat" codes can work on FO4?)

Apparently what Bethesda learned from looking at that player response has stayed with them to this day, for an unremarkable, forgettable character Bethesda has put a lot into really improving him.

As the near iconic image of the primary character and dog walking into the sunset I would
say a dog companion is almost as iconic to Fallout as power armor.

I do not think I am alone in picturing the dog at my side as we walk into the most dangerous situations I've faced with a dog, as a pit or a rottie, or a boxer.

I've had all three from a puppy I could hold in one hand, to a head in my lap near as broad as my out stretched fingers taking his or her last breath at the end of a long life, that is a week
of their life span for everyday of their life.

Shepard, boxer, rottie, pit bull, in my life time they were all the terror dog of the day. They were not a problem breed before or after, they were/are dogs exploited by cruel dog fighters because they could be trained to be fighting dogs and could fight hard if so trained.

A lot of good loyal dogs ended up available for adoption because of the bad press. A lot ended up in good homes, adopted by good people and left a good impression on all who got to know them.

How hard is it to give players the option to choose this companion from several “fighting” breeds as they would craft their primary character, or select armor for their other companions?

It's an updated Creation engine which is the same as Skyrim, which was an updated version of Gamebryo, used in FO3 and FNV. Most codes will be the same.

As for the rest of your post, I don't know how to respond to that or what it has to do with my post.

Indeed, although I don't feel adding romance would be neccessary. I'm a bit concerned that someone said they're planning it.
