That's because we trained them to be that way in the Cold War

Wolf Attacks - it seems wolves are particularly fond of Russians.

They're predators and if they're hungry then they'd probably try to kill you. Obviously, you're not going to run into wild animals with the frequency or in the numbers (6+ bears just hanging out?) that you would in Dragon Age but you wouldn't need to in order to be killed.

It's Wikipedia so I am surprised the bears aren't armed with lasers and jetpacks. Also, in a continent with over 300 million people on it, a handful of bear and wolf attacks don't seem to indicate that every bear or wolf you will run across will proceed to eat your face.

Exactly. The Soviet spies in this topic have an agenda against wolves.

Keep the animal killing quests in the game, for the people who want them. I will not complete them though.

I was actually hoping we'd have more animals to kill in DA2. I especially want a blighted whale whose fins have re-evolved into legs. Tigers would also do.

But wolves and bears and giant spiders and giant rats are just so overdone.

OH YEAH

Refresh my memory?

I think it's completely unfair to kill pixels. They never harmed anyone!

Ironic isn't it we tamed the wolf during our hunter gatherer days becuase we saw its skill and it helped us become more efficient hunters thus allowing us to develop as we spent less time just surviving, and now dogs are our favourite pets but the original species has become villified as competition. Kind of sad.

And doesn't killing wolves get boring after awhile? If you want to kill wolves you can play WoW and kill wolves at level 80 that are slightly bigger and different colored than the wolves you killed at level 1.



Werewolves are a different matter however, those are fun to fight.

You sure it was  "wolves" we tamed way back when? Or some cousin of wolves that was slightly more... rather, less... wild?

Yes I was there, it was cold.

You know, this "save the environment" thing is an attitude of the modern world. In medieval times, nature was a dangerous enemy. If you went out into the wild you were fighting for your own survival just as much as a wolf would be.

So killing wild animals in a fantasy game makes total sense.

I myself am an animal lover and I probably couldn't kill a wolf or a bear unless my life depended on it, I'm just saying. If you were a person in a medieval setting, all bets were off.

So is Equal Opportunities.

I actually agree. I mean, getting jumped by wolves from time to time enriches the game, in my opinion, as it adds additional depth and story to the world, but it certainly shouldn't be overused.

And I don't think DA:O over did it...

I bet. Good on ya for making it all the way here man. How do you like it?

[Onyx Jaguar]

Yeah we didn't get Dogs by killing every Wolf we saw.



Same goes for Cats



Actually thinking about it, domesticating Cats had to have been ****ing insane given a Wild Feline's temperament. Wolves/Dogs are pack animals, Cats ain't

[Adanu]

Interesting... you actually think your naive ideas of 'animals shouldn't be killed!' matter when farms and slaughterhouses are what give civilization it's food and yet they kill animals by the hundreds to do so?



This is a video game set in a medieval era fantasy world. Leave your real life ideals at the door.

The haircut's have got worse and my knee's creak more but other than that not much has changed, oh and you're probably right it may have been a sub species or smarter wolves that began following human tribes as scavengers and slowly developed a symbiotic relationship.

[Onyx Jaguar]

Hopefully in the next version of the Sims we can breed domesticated darkspawn that we can give the old prod to the head and sell for meat

You're assuming that a man one day went out and tamed a wolf. Or that a man one day went out and tamed a wild cat.

Such is not the case.

The dog most likely originated from a substrain of wolf whos temperment was much more amiable than your average wolf of today. Less of a wolf and more of a dog than its current wolf relations. Keep in mind that over the course of thousands of years, as dogs were evolving into what they are now, wolves were also evolving. It isn't like they haven't changed in the past several thousand years.

Same sort of deal with the cat. There was, way back when in the long long ago, a cat that was slightly more tame than your average wild cat. That strain was taken in by humans and bred by them over centuries. Those that lived outside human influence due to their.... temperments... stayed outside, becoming what they are now. And your average cat still has a completely unreasonable temperment and should, indeed, remain outside. Harumph.

There's one from the Chantry board in Lothering. Kill some bears.

Hm. Can't say I'm too surprised to hear that.

Indeed it may have been. Especially considering how easy it is to tame wolves... am I right? Who here has tried to tame a wolf? *raises hand* Anybody?

Riiiiiiiight! They ask you to go kill some bears because the bears have been attacking the refugees or something of the like and because their pelts would make good blankets for the people.

Totally forgot about that one. Thank you.
