Dating Theresa & Dogs

[Goffik]

A couple of questions regarding the latest patch, if I may.

First, the patch notes state that we can now date Theresa after "the act" has taken place. How do I do this? On talking to her I get no options to ask her on a date. Just the usual two options where you can ask questions about Skalitz and Ratay. I have completed the old dating quests through to completion, though I did this before patch 1.9 patch was released.

Second, I've seen no mention on where I can find a dog, despite the menus showing a tab for one. Is this because it is part of the latest DLC, as opposed to part of the patch?

Thanks in advance.

They said the dog would be added for free but from what i've read i think its from the newest DLC Women's Lot. A shame, i'd really love to have a doggo on my journeys. I don't understand why they even let the Houndmaster NPC + the Houndmaster tabs if you can't even access it. Misleading if you ask me...

Just have to say, ''Dating Theresa & dogs'' might lead to misunderstandings... :P

But yeah, the dog is apart of the DLC

Hahaha, I hadn't really thought about it until you pointed that out! :D

Dating theresa is also part of the dlc, I got the option after I got the dlc at least

LOL, funny seeing what it takes for people to spend more money on a DLC !!! Dogs and a pixil date , too funny

[Goffik]

Huh... thanks for the answers guys. Pretty stupid putting the Theresa thing in the patch notes if it isn't in fact part of the patch. :/

You could apply that to pretty much any game and DLC in the history of computer gaming. Spending money on pixels that do anything can be seen as money for "nothing". It could also be applied to many, many other hobbies and pastimes. But if you enjoy what you're doing then it's value for money.

That's true we basically exchange money for fun

Huh... so you can even spend money to get training in the Houndmaster skill (from the Rattay executioner), despite there being no way to use the skill unless you have the DLC. Pretty dumb.

Just finding this thread, after playing Free Weekend and then I bought the game - but only the Base Game (no DLCs). I was trying to figure out how to get that Dog back that I helped save in Skalitz. In the cut scene where Theresa hauls your unconscious self to Rattay, the dog is clearly seen in the wagon with you for a very brief moment of the scene and is clearly on the ride with you. I also interacted with the Executioner to help me figure out how to set a broken leg so I then see his Training for Houndmaster.
The Dev's need to address this more formally - all appearances to new-to-game players like me, portray the game as if you will get a decent Dog companion from the onset of the game.
Unless you dumpster dive into Google or the forums here, you don't know why it is that you have a Houndmaster skill, cut scene insinuations, etc.
Having fought several Bandit groups with dogs that bite my arm, I was looking forward to having my own dog that helps slow down at least 1 of 3 in a group fight, or help on hunts.
Heck, the Dev's could at least put a statement and button in the Houndmaster tab that says it only functions with a DLC purchase and the button takes you to the Steam Store Page (they'd actually make some money with that little edit).
As-is, it shows a less polished game that is one of many reasons this game falls just short of a AAA title.
