I was barely able to recognize Wynne. Well, it might has to do something about me making her second specialization an Arcane Warrior. With her healing spells and great defense rate she was like a Paladin. Better frontliner, than Alistair.

[@smudgeistired418]

I like how even Morrigan and Sten, who pretend to hate the dog, eventually give in and give them extra treats and play fetch

[@smudgeistired418]

@YourLadyKnight That's true and I agree. Still a very wholesome moment lmao

[@chillax319]

@@smudgeistired418 Yeah Sten was pro-dog from the start. Morrigan ofc had to be all tsundere about liking the dog, as she is with almost everyone that she liked. I really liked how she greeted the dog in the Witch Hunt dlc.

[@gzapray7203]

Sten likes Dog from the start. In the Qun, the Dog will be absolutely an fine addition to their army due of their fierce loyalty and single-minded determination, two things that the every single adherent of the Qun should have.

[@LucasEduardo-jm7nd]

There is one missing with Sten, where he and the Dog growl at each other until Sten acknowledges the dogs strength

[@Makilita]

Is this the one you're referring to? Dog: (Growls) Sten: (Growls) Dog: (Growls) Sten: (Growls) Dog: (Barks) Sten: You are a true warrior and worthy of respect. Dog: (Happy Bark) I couldn't find it in the banter .dlg file, nor in the audio files, the only place I've seen it is Dragon Age wiki 😢

​@@Makilita Yeah, since its a conversation you only get when in camp it may not be tagged as banter in the game's files.

[@chillax319]

[@Mel9188]

Sten: "Don't look at me like that" Dog: 👁U👁

[@jackwilliamtaylor5656]

The dog yoinking Wynne’s staff is one of my favourite Dragon Age cutscenes.

[@spartanhuntergaming]

Wynne been the grandmother that loves the dog

[@EddieM1994]

Wynne's speech about mabari being able to speak but knowing not to reminds me of folk tales of orangutans in Borneo. People say that orangutans can speak and have human intelligence, but don't speak to humans because humans would put them to work.

[@MaryDunford]

And pay taxes.

[@ЛеснойБолван-я4щ]

I like to see how Morrigan's attitude to dog is changing as the journey goes until eventually she even starts to give him treats. Also, there is a detail from the "Witch Hunt" DLC that no one seems to notice. When the company finds Morrigan, the hound is the first one to dash towards her merrily and she leans down to pet him looking quite happy. I was even amazed when I saw that scene in my first playthrough because during the main campaign I didn't even have a dog.

[@canadian__ninja]

I always named him Barkspawn after I saw that was the name Alistair gives him in the evil mode.

[@MaryDunford]

😂

[@thepbg8453]

I always called him Duncan

[@scottcontreras4569]

Dalish elf origin story, always called him Tamlen after my lost buddy.

[@corruptedabyssknightbain4387]

I called mine Squash. I saw that there is a mabari you can name in dragon age 2. If I can get them, imma name him Whiskey.

[@TheonlythingIknowisbloodshed]

I may have named my dog Barry maybe a I should’ve gotten a bit more creative with the names.

[@davido.1233]

Sten: Are you trying to say something about a child in a well? Best line!

[@CheomaNozomi]

I absolutely love that Lassie reference 😅

"Oh dog, you're so smart and cunning and intelligent.: Dog: [stares into the void]

[@Aurilndia]

Even conversations with our puppy here are better then most conversations in DAV.

[@ThePoshboy1]

Something people don't seem to realize is that Morrigan understands the dog extremely well, likely because of her capacity to shape shift.

[@magicdog9523]

You can specifically ask her about whether she can understand other creatures when shapeshifted, and she says she can't.

[@ronswanson5974]

"are you trying to tell me about a child in a well" LMAO I know most people wouldn't understand that reference but still. It's hilarious once you do

[@cellulanus]

Honestly part of the reason I romanced Morrigan in spite of the entire party warning against it was because Dog liked her. Ultimately Dog was an excellent judge of character.

[@Galba89]

"conversational barking"

The dog NEEDS to be a companion in DA4 please bioware!

[@ZaimGamePlay]

we need stovacker!! and mabari

veilguard writting can't eve beat the dog's lines from DAO

[@carl9148]

Oghren's talk with the Mabari about a Mabari team of Charioteers, it's a cool idea he has, one slight drawback as I know about Chariots in general, if he had a Mabari Chariot team, he fights his foes as they charge into battle and all, Oghren would need a driver too, Charoting is the most physically demanding thing you can do, I've seen it myself, you need to find your balance as you ride it, using both legs to stand upright and command the horses, or in this case, the Mabaris, to go where they need to go and plus, in Oghren's case, as a Warrior Caste Dwarf, with a two-handed battleaxe into battle, there is also the need for both hands to either strike the enemy as he described or even steer the Chariot in a straight line or otherwise, you can't do both really, unless you had a driver with you to help you. So, yeah, this is something that sounds cool, but, it sounds like it has a few flaws to his plans with that in mind.

[@MOtherNature790]

Would have loved a WTF did you do to my dog moment with Wynn after she dresses him up like giant poodle

[@spalenzagabriel]

Warden Oghren: FUCK GRIFFONS! I NEED a Mabari War Chariot.

[@Werezilla]

Antlers, changing colors, a furry tail: Wynne sounds like she wants to use Mods on the dog.

[@jankubicek9109]

no wonder, she probably heard almost every mod makes her younger :D

[@victoriaanne6332]

My biggest issue with DAI is no dog! I had to romance Cullen to acquire a dog via marriage.

[@xer_7438]

Zevran's description of "dogs" from Antiva is more similar to raccoons.

[@ForestX77]

Well it is a high fantasy world, wouldn’t doubt it if raccoons are just that big. Not that I would complain, raccoons are adorable.

[@xiphosura413]

just sounds like stray dogs to me, some countries the streets are thick with them and people do treat them like vermin. It's sad, really

[@brandonkirk5236]

10:00 So THATS why my dog suddenly turned silvery-white! Wynne was even in my party when it happened! (Yes i know its just a glitch)

[@Rodenson1314]

What's funny is that Morrigan likely understands him as if he was speaking Common. Her being a shape-shifter and running with beasts, she probably understands him without issue

[@ivanvakhrushev4342]

I recall there is another dialogue with Morrigan when she was furious about doggo brought her a dead creature and put it in her lingerie. She said panties were ruined and she had to throw it away. One of the reply lines allowed to ask if she's going to travel pantiless😂 It is in the early game stage when main character interacts with doggo in the camp

I hate the idea that my Warden's Mabari hound has grown old by the time Trespasser happens. I'd prefer Mabari have longer lifespans than average dogs. It would be fun if my Warden's hound met Hawke's.

"This is my wardog companion, Squash" "Oh yeah? This is Whiskey. He mostly stayed in the house back when we were in Lowtown but hey, he's better company than Gamlen."

@@corruptedabyssknightbain4387 Hero to Ferelden says,"I'm very fortunate to have been chosen by Ironbite. I never thought I'd have a war hound. How did you name yours?". Hawke replies,"'Remy'. Mother said I should choose a non-aggressive but noble name. That's Kirkwall upbringing".

[@NicholasPStevens]

Wynne's interactions with him are so adorable ❤ She is too sweet

[@Cynistrelle]

The one with the secret companion is really heart breaking.. took me by surprise

[@Kobac1990]

I love the interaction but Morrigan would actually know best how to handle the dog. They could have done something very different there because she grew up in the wild and can shapeshift. Love it, regardless

[@Pyxis10]

It's as she said she grew up with wild creatures not domesticated mage bred ones. Yeah Barkspawn is still a dog at heart but he's also extremely intelligent, something most wild creatures really aren't.

[@plaguedoctor2882]

I like to believe that in the same way a hound master wouldn’t be able to handle a wolf properly Morrigan couldn’t handle dog due their domestication Wild creatures are unpredictable because of their self-interest, a wolf that “helps you” take down a deer might take your chosen part (and life) right after they are done with theirs (or flee, if you seem like too much of a threat) For Morrigan it makes sense dog ate her herbs without asking, it doesn’t make sense he ASKS her for more (having proven he can take them and knowing she wouldn’t say yes initially) or that he even wants more considering their probable ill effects, it’s cool

[@bustinarant]

​She also said she grew out of hanging out with/as animals, though. Aside from your dog being a special, intelligent trained war dog in any playthrough, let alone the Human Noble origin and their bonus moneys for dogs.

[@juleswoodbury58]

So i never played dragon age, but I know it's an rpg and you play with a party of npc companions, like mass effect and kotor and from what I can gather from this video is that you play as the dog.

[@corruptedabyssknightbain4387]

No, the mabari (the kind of dog seen in the video) is also a companion NPC. You play as a customisable character with your own origin.

[@zlypy]

I love this format so so so much thank you
