Dog companion

  1. 1. Do you dog companion (like Dogmeat)?



Recommended Posts

I have to say, contrary to a lot of people here, I much prefer non-magical animal companions in contrast to magical ones. This doesn't include sentient animals, but more ones that are pets etc.

 

The reason is that I find having magical animals as pets quite garish - they're too obviously trying to be "cool". This isn't to say they should be real animals necessarily, but certainly not hell-hounds or miniature dragons, but if you wanted, say, a fictional bear species or even something like a sabre-tooth tiger that'd work. If heroes with animal companions were real, having a tiny dragon companion would be the equivalent of walking into a room covered in excessive "bling". Generally just faintly embarrassing. Plus then the coolest thing about you would be your pet, not your heroing prowess.

 

I'm all for dogs, big cats, wolves, giant versions of smaller animals, hawks, owls etc, but just not silly things.

I don't mind having the option of an animal companion - regardless of whether it is a mangy dog or an invisible pink unicorn - but if the animal takes up one of the regular companion slots, I'll probably not want to use it,

 

The ideal option for me would be some unusual, intelligent/interactive companion - even something like Morte from PS:T or maybe even a magical/sentient weapon.

Do I dog companion? No. Do I want a dog companion? No. Dogs can't cast spells or wear +2 steel plate. Don't see much use.

 

It's a free companion though...

 

Have fun with your Pariah Dog in Fallout 2, I'll be busy over here being effective.

A dog companion might make some sense, but methinks the Druid and/or Ranger classes should satisfy your desire for an animal companion via their ability to call one. Wizards could, of course, have familiars. I'd like to see that the FACs have well developed personalities, even at the expense of having a more limited number of them from which to choose.

Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forests and fields in which you walk. Immerse yourself in the outdoors experience. It will cleanse your soul and make you a better person.----Fred Bear

Why not something just for flavour? Like Minsc's squeaky companion.

I don't mind a vampire butterfly the size of your dinner plate the feeds on nectar. Level up enough with you, you learn to create some form of poison from its wing flakes.

"O, the life of the Druid is the life of the land.

We are one with the dark earth on which we proudly stand.

One with the Mother who has suckled us from birth,

Her streams and her rivers, we are one with the earth;

One with the Father, whose oak supports the sky,

Who gazes on us daily with his great, immortal Eye..."
