 I've seen people throwing around the idea of seeing Dog again.  

While I would like to see my original Mabari again I see a problem.  Large dogs generally do not live for a long time.  I know that Dog was a Mabari and that Mabaris are special but lets look at the numbers.

A large dog usually lives around 10 years.  He was probably 3-5 in DA:O which starts in 9:30 Dragon.  DAIII probably starts around 9:40 dragon based on what we know of the Mage-Templar war.  So dog is probably around 13.  That is old for a large dog.  

Even if we do see him he will probably be slow and have a white face. :crying:

The Warden's Mabari Hound probably left with him into the Eluvian, or elsewhere if the Hero of Ferelden chose not to go with Morrigan. I always envisioned my Warden's faithful Mabari leaving Ferelden with him into the Eluvian, to be with Morrigan and see his son.

Hawke had a Mabari Hound, too, so it's not unlikely that the latest protagonist could possibly have a Mabari Hound following his exploits across Thedas.

A different Mabari, like in DA2.

I was talking about seeing the first Dog.  Some people want to see him again.  To be fair I do too.

Mabari are magic. They can live for as long as Bioware wants them to.

I can't say I've seen that suggestion here before. I've seen ones about having a new mabari companion. Not that, though.

I know, but I meant that the Mabari Hound is probably going to be venturing with The Warden, so it's unlikely that the newest protagonist will be exploring Thedas with The Warden's Mabari. Perhaps he (or she) might end up getting one of The Warden Mabari's progeny, since Witch Hunt mentioned that The Warden's Mabari was re-populating the breed for Ferelden.

I would prefer a ghast companion take the place of Dog this time around.

 What I want to know is, why wasn't Dog poisoned by the darkspawn blood again? If you only have to give that flower to them once and they are Taint-free forever, why don't they just give them all one as puppies? And why wouldn't they try to develop a cure for humans, elves, and dwarves? :ph34r:

Anyway, I'd love to have another Mabari around, if only to ****** off Orlesian courtesans and nobles, hehe.

We can't really say how long a Mabari would live for, as they're a fictional breed of dog -- though they are based off of a few real world dogs.

However, if we're going to Orlais, for the love of Christ develop some new dog models. Orlesians generally hate Fereldans and Mabari, so having every Orlesian we've seen in MotA use Mabari seemed... odd.

Hypocritical even, which while I expect it from Orlais still doesn't sit well with me.

I forgot about the taint.  

The Mabari handler explains that he still has it and it will still kill him eventually.

Basically Dog is the canine version of a Grey Warden :o

Ohh, I must've missed that. That's pretty cool, thanks for the info.

Obligatory videos on the greatness of Doggy.

As long as a dog can be apart of the game I'll be happy. I kinda like thinking the mabari is still out there romping around with the Warden.

Edit: watching old DA:O vids only reinforces the need of a 'camp' stye area to return. I missed all the extra party interactions in DA2 that weren't really possible since everyone was doing their own thing, and usually alone.

Just read in on the DA wiki.  

Rofl Dog sired most of Ferelden's Mabari population.

I'd like to see some other types of dogs. Sight-hounds, retrievers, terriers, etc. Given that it's likely to be Orlais, you probably want some toy breeds as well.

However, it's definitely in the 'nice to have' column for me, not the 'must-have' column.

Mabari are nice, but Orlesians have their own, unique breed of war hounds.

I may hate toy breeds but I want to see this thing face off with a Mabari and have the Mabari run away.
