The wolves area with a lot of traps in DA:O sadden me. Wolves are such great creatures. We shouldn't be forced to kill them. Bears too.

A little about them in folklore. See Fenrir in particular. They are truly magnificent and great. I'd like one as a companion in DA2 and once again let me stress, not killing them.
Alright. This is definitely a joke. Fenrir reference confirms it. Anyone who knows anything about that slice of mythology would recognize it for what it is. Fenrir the Devourer, the great wolf who's maw reaches from the sky to the ground, and would open wider if but there was more room for it to do so. His escape from his bonds, the breaking of the final chain that keeps him penned, kicks off Ragnarok which is the end of everything. Ever. He is a great villain. An unstoppable evil of the world. The child of Loki, etc. etc...
But let me, in all seriousness, point something out. Wolves were, in the past, man kind's top competitors for food, land and resources. In the time of Dragon Age they would still be very much a threat to humans. They were our enemies. If you think this is a joke, look up Wolf Trials... interesting stuff that speaks to the mindset of people back in those days. Wolves put on trial,
put on trial, for murdering livestock, stealing farmer's goods, trespassing and just regular old murder.
The only thing that makes wolves magnificent and great in the modern age is because they no longer threaten people in a big way. And we have so successfully beaten them that they have become endangered in many parts of the world. So now people feel sorry for them.
