Making dog companions more useful
Alvarez:
Thanks for your support guys! ;D
After some searching, i found out how the thread polls are added, so please vote!

You know guys, leveling, staying after death, knockdown and all... a large addition, right?
For a start I would suggest making dogs NOT WORHTLESS. For example making them at least a bit stronger than brahmins, which are free and easy to get. Dogs have less hp, less damage, less damage resistance and outdoorsman at a similar level... And no, I didn't use the always-outdated wiki. I checked it ingame. If I weren't that much about atmosphere and dogmeat nostalgy, I would use brahmins instead of dogs and have a bigger combat advantage than tagging along with those worthless mutts...
Dogs costs 500-1000 per one. Brahmins cost 2xfibre. I know that the former shouldn't be a master-killer, but giving them 40 or 50hp (instead of 34) and about 2-8 damage (instead of 1-6) would place dogs nicely between free brahmins and 1000-2000caps HtH mercs. This is just reasonable.
EDIT: just btw, but raising dog outdoorsman has drawbacks also. My friend has 100 outdoorsman (which is enough to cover most of the encounters and travel quite safely) and he don't like when I take my dogs when we hunt together, because it don't change encounter check too much and he doesn't get xp for them...

I don't know if anyone said this. The other day I was looking for geckos, and I could not find them, so the idea came to me: what if you could ask your dog to find certain types of creatures? you can say "dog, find geckos" "find men" "find deathclaws" and somehow the map shows a location, an arrow or something, not exact of course.
They should have like 12 perception, more than men, and a lot of action points. I like the cautious nature perk someone suggested.
DrapiChrust:
Dogs are just worhless now. There is no other word for it. They cannot survive any encounter with anything bigger than small scorpions... and I don't mean 'kill enemies' or even 'don't get killed'. I've mean even don't get killed while running away from enemies while manually ordered... (6AP, dammit)
I was going to arrange a little brahmin - dog one-on-one to prove how worhtless dogs currently are, but my last mutt wasn't able to cope with raider's mauser before I managed to shred damn raider into pieces... dammit.

Dogs need little suicide bomber vests.
