Dogmeat finally gets the credit he deserves

[Killzig]

<strong>[ -> Review]</strong>

<a href="http://www.gamespy.com" target=_blank>The Evil Empire</a> has posted a listing of the top 10 game sidekicks EVAR. And guess who came in at #2? None other than our beloved DOGMEAT! He finished just behind HK-47 from the recent Star Wars game but we all know who'll be remembered more fondly five years from now.

<blockquote>He's a mutt! And what a mutt! Of all the dogs in our countdown, only Dogmeat comes in at number two. You meet him shortly into the game, where he is easily lured to your side with the help of an iguana on a stick (if only dating were that easy.) Dogmeat is fiercely loyal to you, to the point of abject stupidity -- throwing himself selflessly at minigun-wielding mutants, for instance. This could lead to some touching moments:


"I cried when Dogmeat died. That's why he's the best sidekick ever," says Kingrames in the forums.


Of course, you could actually keep dogmeat alive (he shows up in Fallout 2), it's just hella difficult.


"I loved that little bastard," writes Havelock Vetinari, the self-proclaimed Arrogant Forum intellectual. "There was something about the way he mauled people's heads and groins that made him so endearing."


That brings a tear to my eye.</blockquote>

"There was something about the way he mauled people's heads and groins that made him so endearing."

True.

Is that rendered husky/wolf/sharpei/whatthefuckisit really Dogmeat? I can't seem to remember that picture.

He calls you "master" and everyone else "meatbags."

Oh shit, it's Rex! I'm too afraid of KOTOR now. Zing.

You can say that again. That's, in a nutshell, what I feel, too.

There is a gamespy forum thread talking about best sidekicks ever as well - dogmeat has come up several times so far...

[Wild qwerty]

Didnt Fallout get an award for the best ending to a game ever as well? Im sure I read that somewhere. I must of burnt up just about all my stimpacks on dogmeat and those force feilds! It was worth it too!

the proper response would have been "Ass Napkin". Feel free to use it

Ah Dogmeat... the only one i could trust not to amputate both my arms by accident because he'd spotted an angry looking cave rat.

Fallout can't die... the world, however loth it is to admit it, can never forget Fallout...

(sorry for off-topic) why don't you post some news about Fallout 3d? they deserve some attention I guess.
