It’s a brilliant moment in the game and a wonderful change of pace from fetch-quests, as your faithful hound bounds across the wasteland and you have to try and keep up every now and then he’ll lose the scent and you have to find him more clues, before he tears off into the distance again.

When searching for a missing person with Private Detective Nick Valentine, you’ll be on the cold trail of a kidnapper when Nick makes an excellent suggestion: let’s use Dogmeat as an actual dog, and see if he can track the scent. Teaming up with Super Mutant Strong for a daring escape before he offers his services as a companion is one such example, or taking the toe-dipping Brotherhood quest with Paladin Danse before being offered to join the ranks you can take these quests with whoever you originally had in tow and this extra companion for added team firepower. There’s a certain point in the main story where he’s going to go missing it’s inevitable, and it stems from the brief sections where you can operate with more than one companion.Īt various points in the game, you can exceed the one companion limit in Fallout 4 for short periods of time when someone is enlisted as a temporary companion, or you are in fact following them for a change. Unfortunately, everybody’s going to have lost Dogmeat at some point in a Fallout 4 play-through (unless of course you’re a heartless monster and didn’t take him with you as a companion when you first met).
