There's gotta be a mod so I can X to Shaun, right?

In my last game I sent him back to sanctuary and then could never find him again. I hope he's happy.

(Among my other problems with Fallout4, it really hurts my suspension of disbelief when the dog like facetanks a mininuke and then is just... fine. I tell myself the protagonist is a synth and that's why they're nearly indestructible. Maybe the dog is, too.)

There's a console you can build that allows you to find companions by tagging them with a quest marker. Comes in handy when I inevitably forget where I sent someone.

Shawn isn't a companion. He's just an annoying little shit who guilt trips you for leaving him to be nuked. Except for when he's a condescending old bastard.

Ah, gotcha. I misread and thought you were talking about Dogmeat.

Preston stated sending him to settlements since you weren't around

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Does he claim the settlements by peeing on them?

I tell myself the protagonist is a synth

With the right mod, you can change your back story to be a synth and start out in the institute.

I tell myself that the aliens like dogs more than they want to stay hidden, so they give all doggos shields that we don't know are there.

Is it ridiculous? Yes. But so is a dog walking off a landmine. And you know... The whole setting of fallout.

Everybody loved this.
