Commanding a dog

The command stack in the corner at 1:57.01: SCOLD on circle, PET on triangle, STUDY on R1 in a grey ring, a thin rule, and DOG on L2 under it — Detail 768 × 475 px

A button menu for a dog. The stack in the corner offers SCOLD, PET and STUDY on three buttons, with DOG on a fourth under a rule, while a brown dog sits at the player's side and looks up at him. None of the three is an order to the dog: each is something the player does to it.

At 1:57 in the Extended Look the bottom right of the screen carries a short stack of prompts: SCOLD on circle, PET on triangle, STUDY on R1. Below them a thin rule, and under that DOG on L2. The context line sits at the foot of the stack, not at the top of it, which is the other way round from what this page said.

The dog is in the same frame, on the tiled floor beside the player: brown and short-coated, sitting upright with its head tipped back to look up at him, a thin dark collar round its neck. The player’s arm hangs down at its side. Nothing in the frame says whose dog it is.

The layout matches the prompt stack in the lobby scene at 0:59, where SAN4SAN also sits on L2 under a thin rule, so it reads as a contextual menu rather than a one-off scripted moment.

Two of the three are self-explanatory. STUDY is not, and its glyph is drawn differently from the other two – an R1 button inside a grey ring, where SCOLD and PET have plain discs. That reads as a different button state rather than as the option being greyed out, which is how this page had it. What that state means, nothing in the frames we have says. The glyph beside DOG is a third style again: the L2 badge inside an open white ring.

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

What STUDY does, and what the grey ring round its button means
Whether the dog is a companion you keep or belongs to a scene
Whether the dog follows, fetches, or fights
Whether a dog always gets these three prompts, or the stack changes with the situation
