Dogmeat Dies Too Easily

D

Look, Ma! Two Heads!
I have the unofficial Fallout 3 patch installed together with all DLC's, including Broken Steel. Dogmeat, like all companions is supposed to level up with me and have high amounts of health. But for some stupid reason, he's dying a lot quicker and more easily than during all my past playthroughs before I installed the unofficial patch. Without the patch, he was unaffected by landmines and could easily take down a centaur. Now it takes just one exploding land mine to do him in. So far, I am only on level 5.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? When can I expect Dogmeat to get much tougher?

He should have 2500 HP at your level.

Do you have any mods? The unofficial patch probably fixes the level scaling bug.

He only has 500 health in vanilla without the stupid scaling, which while a LOT, isn't much because his AI is retarded.
 
I have both Vault 101 revisited and Alton installed, but that's it.

Level scaling is a bug? So is this going to affect all the other companions, including Fawkes?

So basically, Dogmeat will never get tougher?

Dogmeat by default has 500 HP, that's more than most NPC's ingame.

He's a dog dude...He's not a power armoured mutant.

Fawks also has 500 HP, and RL 13 has...350 I think.

All human companions in vanilla FO3 are very, very weak.

I had Charon in full power armour and he fell over from some bandits.
 
The "Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch" does fix the Broken Steel DLC breaking the HP of Dogmeat, RL-3 and Fawkes, so does the "UPDATED Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch".
 
According to what it says on the changelog on Nexus for the updated unofficial patch, it includes something called the Creature Companion NPC fix which is supposed to held Dogmeat, Fawkes, and R3L level up with the player in terms of health on a more reasonable level.
