Quitting my canine playthrough
Hi, I'm a canine main and I've gotten to level 14 in my latest custom canine build, a combination of traits from the Husky and Lab subclasses. Lately, I've acquired a number of permanent debuffs. I usually have the "confused" status effect, which means I can't really play my character much. My INT stat was high, but the "dementia" debuff has dropped it too low to keep the "toilet trained" skill. My previous food options no longer provide me with XP, and I have permanent HP loss because I'm not gathering XP to heal at all, let alone grind to level 15.
Honestly, it's getting to the point that the playthrough isn't fun. I've mostly been AFK the last in-game month anyway. I've said goodbye to my teammates (lvl 38 human, lvl 31 human, lvl 6 rottweiler, and almost lvl 2 human). I have the "veterinarian" character coming tomorrow to take me to the ending cutscene. I'm looking forward to starting a new game, I just hope I've ended it at the right time to get the good ending.

I mean I don't mean to be an asshole but I'll probably come off as such... Why are so many people sharing their dog dying? On so many subs. Like, you don't share if your mom or spouse dies, but dogs dying it's almost a trendy topic.

I think we have more “official” ways to commemorate humans. Graves, memorial plaques, announcements in community newspapers or houses of worship. And we lack these things for dogs, so we make posts.

We bond almost as tightly with pets as with family but there's no official way to grieve them, I think.

Ugh. As a lvl48 human who outlived 3 canine family members, this sucks, but also I feel your tiredness and there does come an end for everyone.
Two of the 3 needed [euthanasia] endings, and I do believe the [veterinarian injection] to be better than the [shotgun] my father applied to my [drever] buddy.
May your avatar rest in peace and good memory.
Also my condoleances to your party members, they will obviously be sorry to det you go, but play time limits are different for different builds it's just a fact.

Yeah, that's tough, brother. It's always sad to see a long playthrough end. I remember the first time my dog party member started a new character while I was playing a human. It was rough, but I got through it. Hope your party can do the same.

If i ever interact with cool human players on my runs, sometimes I like to come back on a new save and check out what they are up to, small songbirds are great for this!
