why would they add a mabari and NOT have it be you mabari that makes 0 sense whatsoever - I mean the developers said one of the reason that dog wasn't in awakenings was that his animations aren't cheap or some such thing -
I'd like to see your source on *that*. "Animations aren't cheap"...now *that* makes no sense, since the models and animations were already done for Origins. The only reason I can see why Dog wasn't in Awakening was that the devs had made a conscious choice to bring back...Oghren and only Oghren. Ugh.
so if they decided to put him in what would possibly be gained by not making him your mabari -
It's entirely possible to get through Origins without a Dog. If Dog is going to *definitely* be the fourth party member in this DLC, then there needs to be a way to acquire a Dog...which means that there's no inherent reason why it's necessary to bring back "Origins Dog v1.0". Not to mention the possibility that someone did the US ending in Origins, and is playing this DLC with an Orlesian Warden from Awakening...so there *has* to be a way to acquire a new Dog. Yes, I'm hoping (as I said above, if you'd been paying attention and actually reading the thread) that I hope it's "my Dog" coming back. I just don't assume or expect it.
not to mention that in the description of dog on the witch hunt page they reiterate that Mabari bond with their masters for life - again not having it be your dog would be foolish
That description of Dog on the Witch Hunt character page is the original, canonical, generic description of Mabari hounds. That's not exactly a stellar basis to use for saying that "not having it be your dog would be foolish".
Again: Hope it's my damn dog coming back, with abilities for a level 34 Mabari (and not just "add 30 points to attributes). Not assuming it, nor expecting, it, though.
