NPC selling his dog

[jeff9870]

Has anyone else had this encounter some npc was selling his dog for 250 caps and I was going to buy it but decided not to. If you have encountered this npc have you bought his dog and what happened afterwards? 

[deff.]

I met that guy twice. Once I tried to bought that dog, but he didn't  sell him to me...So I think that you cannot get that dog...

Actually yes, it was a junkyard dog! Very rare event, especially when you super mod your game.

He wants to sell it, but then he starts to get cold feet, and you need a mid charismatic trait in order to convince him to part with the dog. He starts crying and gets all sad because the dog he grew an affinity for his now gunna be with a new owner.

It was actually kinda sad tbh. The dog will go to your settlement of your chosing.

Yes i had it.

First time I didnt buy the dog since I was suspicious.

Also the guy is not eager to sell it even though its his livelihood.

But now I always buy it, to give Dogmeat some company and send it to the same settlement Dogmeat is in and make two doghouses next to each other for them.

Plus the dog adds like 1 or 2 defense rating to the settlement (unless that's from a mod). Could make all the difference.

 

And, yeah, I do the same thing with the dual doghouses.

Außerdem erhöht der Hund die Verteidigungswertung der Siedlung um 1 oder 2 (es sei denn, das kommt von einem Mod). Könnte den entscheidenden Unterschied machen.

 

Und ja, dasselbe mache ich mit den Doppelhundehütten.

 

The "Far Habor" DLC introduces a special dog breeder – a super mutant – from whom you can regularly order dogs for ALL of your settlements.

 

The boost to settlement defense may not be particularly significant... but dogs in a settlement increase the happiness of the local settlers!

 

Plus, we've all been voluntarily and free of charge training an AI system here again.

Never seen that guy. And he's not from a mod? My comment about the defense rating was sarcasm, because the boost is indeed insignificant.

Den Typen hab ich noch nie gesehen. Und er ist nicht von einem Mod? Mein Kommentar zum Verteidigungswert war sarkastisch gemeint, denn der Boost ist tatsächlich unbedeutend.

 

To meet the super mutant you need the "Tracker" (whom you will be recommended by the mayor shortly after landing there) as a companion - the location is a crashed plane in the interior of the island
