Dog and God

Dog and God is a schizophrenic, captured Nightkin assisting the Courier in breaching the Sierra Madre Casino in the add-on Dead Money.

Background
Virtually nothing is known about his background, but it is known that his name is Dog.

After being captured by a mysterious old man at the Abandoned BoS Bunker, the Courier must work with him to find the treasure at the heart of the Sierra Madre casino and win their freedom, although at one point in the trailer, he is seen attacking the Courier.

It appears that God was the sole personality in the nightkin before going insane from the use of the Stealthboys. After going insane God developed a split personality that is Dog. Dog is a very stupid personality obeying Father Elijah without question. Dog has also tried repeatedly to get rid of God by cutting himself and even putting his hand in a bear trap but he is unable to get God out, so Dog cuts DOG into his chest to remind God who lives in the body. The two cannot coexist at the same time, with one being put in a "cage" while the other controls the body.

Father Elijah recommends Dog/God (D/G) as the first companion you find upon being given your quest. You find D/G in a police station cell in Sierra Madre Police Station, you must journey down into to station basement to find an audio log, but while you are doing this you need to be fast because the count down on your collar will begin (it will stop if you stand in any of the jail cells giving you extra time), that will apparently wake D/G. When you return to the cell, and play the recording, D/G wakes up, and informs you that he knows where the key to the cell is, but he will not come out. You can convince D/G that you are intelligent and not play Father Elijah's voice and join you as a companion. However, if you choose to play Father Elijah's voice as well, D/G wakes up, and joins you as a companion.

After talking to him at the electrical switches during the Gala Opening, God admits he was once part of the Master's army, and Dog followed him very obediently, even calling him 'master', in a context suggesting ownership.

Appearances
D/G appears in Dead Money.

Trivia

 * If Dog is chosen to come with the player he will eat the Ghost People when they fall unconscious.


 * If the player has the Wild Wasteland trait, Dog will say "OM NOM NOM" the first time he eats a Ghost Trapper.


 * Whilst walking around with D/G he will some times say that he does not like this place and says he wants to go back to the base and church, this could mean he was in the master's army.
