Poll: The Fable 2 Dog

[Damian_TF]

I really tried to feel for the dog, but in the end the only real use I had for him was to find treasure.

Okay a while ago i played Fable2 and i liked it. But what i didnt get is the emotional connection someone felt with the dog. It may be me just being emotionally fucked up or just the fact that i have a real dog but i didnt get the intese feelings i heard someone got for the mutt.
Anyone agree or disagre? (so i can know if im the only one who saw him as a funny minimap=)

I think the dog was the only character in the entire game I felt I had any kind of connection with - did not care much for the older sister really. It was somewhat fun to play fetch with him and it is definitely a benefit having the lil guy around. At the end I felt a little bit of emotion that's for sure.

I liked the dog, although it's kind of a downer that you can't finish the archeologist quest without him, that's why I always choose the needs of the few, since I still haven't found all the hidden goodies scattered around.

 

[Lizatonic]

The dog was the only character I liked, everyone else was kind of annoying.

 

[InvisibleMilk]

He was my bud,

Spoiler

I chose to keep him over the money it offers at the end of the game.

So I guess I'd say "He's worth keeping around."

ditto

even tho i didnt really connect with the dog like i felt i was promised he was still the only character in the game i didnt actively try to kill (unlike reaver, the mage guy, redhead chick and the blind woman..... and every child in the game)

<3 the dog - heh the i wanna kiss a dog thread got locked after 3 replies..sorry i just had to mention it

I didn't trust the dog, it bought me treasure and helped impress a demon door but when all was said and done it lived for a very long time. Too long for a normal dog! I think Theresa kept replacing it when it died of old age so you wouldn't be any the wiser. Either that or it was an enchanted dog!

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I love my doggy. I named him Tiberius but i always call him doggy.

 

[Leeathal]

The dog was ok, not fantastic but ok

 

[electric discordian]

Considering the dog is one of the few things not bugged in the game, he stuck by me when four of my famiilies disappeared. Yeah I have done 4 play throughs of fable 2 all on the good side! The little guy stayed with me after my wife and kids vanished......

I loved my little poochie. Oh dear god my hard hearted cynacism is beginning to crack, though it did make my actual cat jealous!

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

To an extent, yes. The Dog was NEVER useful, and in fact generally served to get in the way or break the flow by making me follow him across hill and dale just to dig up some trash (( just KNEW that the next time I'd find something epic). That said, thanks mostly to the sheer amount of time you spend with the dog, it seems difficult to not grow a little attached. I was annoyed at the fate of the dog to the point that my final choice in the game was altered because of it - so that has to count for something.

That dog and I had a love hate relationship. There were points where he would mercilessly run over and mangle whoever I knocked to the ground and others when he would get stuck pacing back and forth between the same puddle of water because there was a microscopic spot that was to deep for him and he would keep trying to swim back to shore.

Not much of an attachment to him really, hell I didn't even know you could name him till a friend of mine refered to his as Mr. Scruffers.

 

[Libur]

If im being honest i thought the dog was somewhat useless.
Sure he'd jump on downed enemies and he'd point out where treasure was hidden but i really didn't see the need in him?
I got more attached to Dogmeat from fallout 3, at least he'd run off and fetch supplies or actually give a raider a run for his money.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

The dog was cool. But I didn't connect with him that well. Him constantly ferreting around condoms while I was being attacked by zombies may have something to do with it. He also glitched a lot, but so did everything else in that game.

[spoiler/]I did feel for him when he died it has to be said when I was a good character, so much so that I decided to save him instead of helping the rest of Albion. When I came back with my evil character I just said "fuck it" and took the gold instead. I didn't miss him.[/spoiler]

 

[ZP---Fanatic]

he's ok but he ruined it in my opinion cos then you cant go dig up stuff when you find em' He just finds em for you :/

And your gettin your arse kicked and he's busy sniffing Bra's that are on the floor

 

[Svenparty]

I think he worked on a AI level, that is all I wanted and he helped Me find goodies. I chose the good ending so Me(I can't dig any good weps up now) and the people that Programmed Dog gave out a huge CRY

Plus he has been shot by bandits millions of times why has Lucien got magic bullets?

 

[Alphavillain]

I loved the dog. I wanted to marry him/her. ^_^ But seriously, I thought his animation was excellently done. The dog animator on that game should be given some kind of dog animation award.

 

[squid5580]

Iwas a bit disappointed with it. I heard that the dog would change physicaly depending on your alignment. My dog didn't change all that much.

 

[Evilbunny]

I loved my dog. I named him mypenis and we did everything together. But, I had to sacrifice him for all the lives lost during the creation of the spire. I knew that was what he'd want.
