kumquatq3 informed me that Gamespy is running a top 10 video game sidekicks, and guess who made it to number 2? You know him, you love him:
<blockquote>He's a mutt! And what a mutt! Of all the dogs in our countdown, only Dogmeat comes in at number two. You meet him shortly into the game, where he is easily lured to your side with the help of an iguana on a stick (if only dating were that easy.) Dogmeat is fiercely loyal to you, to the point of abject stupidity -- throwing himself selflessly at minigun-wielding mutants, for instance. This could lead to some touching moments</blockquote>
And for the Planescape:Torment fans out there, Morte get a mention in "didn't make the cut" under number 3.
Link: number 2; Dogmeat
Link: Number 3; Murray, with Morte under "didn't make the cut"
