Changes: Dog (Dragon Age II)

Revision as of 22:18, 9 April 2011

"Dog" is the default name of a Mabari war hound which appears as the Hawke family dog if the player has The Black Emporium DLC. He is different from Dog, the Mabari of The Warden. He can be summoned as a small fifth party member akin to a Ranger summoning animals.

Note

Unlike the previous Dog, Hawke's Dog is not a full member of the party--it cannot be controlled and does not occupy a companion slot in the party picker. The Dog is summoned by activating its sustained mode, and remains in the party until killed or until an area transition is used, as with Ranger summons in Dragon Age: Origins.
Like the previous, the player can choose a name when s/he enters Gamlen's House and talks to the dog for the first time.
Each of your companions has scripted interactions with the Dog.
Occasionally the Dog will appear at the start of the game and follow you until you encounter the ogre, even if its DLC has not been purchased.

Bugs

Occasionally, although the player renames Dog, it is summoned with the default name.
pc After naming dog, when loading a save game where he is already summoned, his name will not be displayed correctly and he will just be labelled "Dog" again. However, if the sustained mode is ended and he is summoned back after the cooldown period, he will return along with his proper name.
