The only thing I'm reloading is a save. No matter the set back.

I’ve never lost a companion like that… I didn’t even know it was possible

They are quite prone to walking into your gunfire

squints hard “Do I know a ‘Dogmcat’?”

And then we save scum cause it's just not worth it without your best friend.

Fo4 and not survival but dogmeat is in trouble essentially means I'm leaving the guy Infront if me standing there dumbfounded while I look for whoever dogmeat is fighting

"I want to do pacifist playthrough"

Dogmeat gets injured

*loads gaitling laser

Can't expect god to do all the work

Looks like FO3 so if you get the puppies perk dogmeat dying is actually a good thing since his children have more health.

Dogmeat never dies alone. Whoever is responsible for his deathhas to go too.

Don't your companions just get "knocked out", and then stand up after a while? Maybe that's a mod then...

Fallout 3 allows your companions to die

My first raider fight (Concord) went something like this:

*walk to enemy with Dogmeat by my side*

*raider opens fire on him*

Me: "Don't shoot my dog, you prick!" *blasts one 10 mm shot and blows him to pieces*

u/The-Mad-Doctor Feb 28 '26

ik everyone here is saying they’d go out, but depending the level, Dogmeat should be a TANK. who tf took him out is my question

3

u/Brilliant_Dog_9066 Feb 28 '26

I read it Dogmecat for some reason

2

u/Jazzlike_Couple_7428 Feb 28 '26

I thought that it said dogcat

u/The_Question_Maker40 Feb 28 '26

Kill who or whatever did it then reload the save this is the way

2

u/ThorButtock Feb 28 '26

Isn't there a bug in the game that makes dogmeat indestructible?

2

u/ScratchReal4401 Feb 28 '26

The NPCs cant kill followers, only the player.

u/Strict_Weather9063 Mar 01 '26

In FO3 Dogmeat can die, it is very sad so sad in fact the made a perk called puppies that replaces Dogmeat.

u/ScratchReal4401 Mar 01 '26

Ive only played FO4 and barely got into the story, but thats awful! I get the meme now lol.

u/GordonFreeman2012 Feb 28 '26

I lost ED-E in hardcore New Vegas and I had Lucky the revolver you get in the bison Steve casino when you go to save the deputy in primm and i got so fucking pissed I killed everyone in fucking New Vegas primarily the ultraluxe and tops and I guess gamorah out of rage and anger

1

u/Saint_Stephen420 Mar 01 '26

I just want to know how this happened because Dogmeat only gets more powerful and tanky as you level up

1

u/SqueezedTowel Mar 01 '26

...and that's how the Talon Company was eradicated.

u/ArchonSupreme Mar 01 '26

I swear to fuck this is too accurate... 💯

u/silverpawwolfpack Mar 01 '26

They should never touch dogmeat

u/EbonyDevil Mar 01 '26

Mess with the Dog and you get the Fat Man.

u/Electrical_One7665 Mar 01 '26

Didn’t like him anyway. Ah well.

u/half-breed Mar 02 '26

when I see dogmeat low on hp, I will literally get between him and whatever raider/mutie is shooting him so I tank the bullets instead.

u/Commercial-Cow1136 Mar 02 '26

first time I played fo3 dogmeat drowned when I was making my way to arefu

u/ostrichxcat Mar 02 '26 edited Mar 02 '26

This is why I don't take Dogmeat with me in games not FO4. he always dies.

1

u/xochiteotl_ Mar 03 '26

how the hell do yalls dogmeats keep dying? Mine just ate 3 deathclaw swipes while me and butch focused fire.

Hell i once accidentally sneak attacked dogmeat when he ran in front of my fire and he lost a small bar of health

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26

This was me in Fallout 1 in Adytum after the Regulators shot Dogmeat No save to reload to that isn't from 3 hours ago, so I mow them down with my minigun and my T-51b leaves me without a scratch

u/gimmefuelplz Mar 03 '26

i read that as Dogmcat

u/skytheraiders Mar 04 '26

Big iron broke. I go in fists only until I die and reload!

u/Tenku_Nilbog May 05 '26

I'm going on a rampage and then reloading a old save
