HN2 school dlc dogs improvement

[mint lodge]

The dogs are already good but I feel like the school DLC could use some more improvements for their ai, whether it can help/hinder gameplay or is just for fun.

First and most important, ability to pet Gunter for possible achievement. After you play fetch with Gunter you should be able to pet him when he's showing the toy that he has in his mouth. This can just be there to make people smile and say thanks to the good boy

Second of all, Brisket changes. While a good guard dog his current ai is annoying. The moment he attacks you the item you were currently holding gets teleported back to where it originally was and can be REALLY annoying for the trashbags or smaller items. So I propose the ability to fetch with Brisket to distract them OR give Brisket a treat (biscuit) to tame them for a short time..which leads me into my next suggestion

Third of all, treats. Are you tired of the dogs coming after you then why not go looking around in the school and find some dog biscuits or perhaps a juicy steak to give to the dogs? For clementine and brisket it will temporarily stop their aggressiveness but for Gunter he will probably eat it and do a little trick to say thanks (or perhaps he could dig up a secret item?) 🦴

That's what I can think of so far, hopefully this will be added to add more character to the good boys that are in the school dlc and people will agree with me that these should be added

also take image of gunter.

this would be pretty cool

[mint lodge]

...pretty much.

[outer current]

would be cool if they added additional cutscenes for the DLCs

[mint lodge]

imagine if they had like introduction cutscenes for each of the dogs, like what clemetine has in the intro

Gunter could be seen digging up a key, which catches Quentin's attention

Brisket could be seen returning a item where it's meant to go (perhaps like a box) before they notice the player and bark angrily.

but also I had a suggestion of having Mr. Murtagh's class in Back to School not sure how it would play out but maybe a new puzzle

[mint lodge]

destroy Mr. Murtagh's melon head to get a key

[outer current]

ngl that would make a really great puzzle

[mint lodge]

You'll have to fix Ivan's little thrower thingy

[outer current]

I wonder if there is any DLC concept art that never made the cut

[mint lodge]

angle it right, and trigger it

[outer current]

Murtaugh would definitely look really creepy in HN2 especially with his teeth now that you think about it

[mint lodge]

he is a creepy teacher

[outer current]

he sure is

[jaunty sphinx]

You CAN actually Play fetch with all the dogs to distract them, also Brisket taking away your items is a bug i'm pretty sure

[mint lodge]

...wait you can?

[jaunty sphinx]

Yes

[mint lodge]

huh.

well now i feel dumb

but still my other points stand true

[jaunty sphinx]

If you have a ball and throw It the dogs will chase after it

Its pretty nice

[mint lodge]

then program it so you can pet all the dogs if you do fetch enough.

Make it so THAT gives you the 'Dog Lover' achievement as you pet all the dogs in the dlc

up to this day I still don't get what the dog does the one that has the red gloves in the intro of back to school

the dog just goes to Quentin does he alert the custodian or something

[mint lodge]

Clementine is just a patrol dog, just alerts custodian

brisket doesn't like fetch, that's what i learned BUT i got another feedback thing to do

you know how you can skip the opening cutscene and that stops custodian and gunter from spawning?

well what if there's a alternative cutscene that happens if you jump over the fence and try to open the front door to the school brisket or clementine will jump on you and bark angrily, the custodian walks over and gets the dog off you before he shoves you out of the school with his broom. Then he slams the door, triggering the spawn for everyone so people can't just exploit the no spawn glitch

[outer current]

that would be cool

[dusky chasm]

Brisket needs an idle AI as well. When he's not chasing you he just stands still wherever he lost you.

Not to mention the fact that Clementine is literally useless

He doesn't attack you, alert the Janitor, nothing.
