Tirick Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 So for the first 10 hours or so I had a dog companion, found randomly. After the first dragon attack, when I returned to 'base', I noticed the dog was not following me. I thought really nothing of it except 'crap, my dog died', and I was too far through some story elements to bother to reload. Since then (about 15 hours of play later) I've tried to buy a dog, and cannot as I am told I have an animal companion already following me (apparently). I take this to mean that perhaps my dog is still alive (yay!) and possibly the victim of some yet-unnamed Bethesda AI bug. Now of course, I want to find him, but searching around where I last saw him has yielded nothing. I've looked up in UESP for a console command related to locating or even moving an actor to the player, but there appears to be nothing like that. Any suggestions? There does not appear to be a name-target 'kill' command either. Thank you,Tirick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminumfoil Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Do you have an earlier save with your dog? Load it, open the console, and select your dog with the mouse. Write down the number that appears. Reload your current save. Open the console, type: player.placeatme ######## except instead of ########, type the number that you wrote down. Hopefully this will work. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chikawowwow Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Try waiting around for a time(24/48hrs), the companions will return to their home if they are wating for a certain amout of time. So the dog will hopefully either catch up to you or you will get a message saying he has returned home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowsong Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I have a dog now. Once I went inside a store, and when I came out again the dog had not followed me outside. He wasn't there any more. I went inside the store again, and there he was, still inside the store. I think sometimes their "follow" command gets confused. You might want to re-trace your steps to see if you accidentally left the dog in a house or store someplace.

BarefootWarrior Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 LOL! In my case, the dog found me on the road, just lying there on the road. I did talk to the guy in the town and I guess this is a quest. Anyway, the dog wanted me to follow him to some shrine, off we went at warp speed and I never saw him again. I did try to look for him and gave up, went on to other things. He has never come back and I'm not looking...oh well. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
