One of the (very few) things I didn't enjoy about DD was killing the wolves.....
In any new incarnation of the game, I'd appreciate a way of stunning, holding (energy cage doesn't work, I tried...) or even befriending hostile animals...maybe you could even get info from them, if you chose the right skills — it would fit right in with a ranger/druid type character.
On the same note, I do love that the kitty in Aleroth hangs out with you, and I make a point of petting it whenever I'm in the village...(I felt kind of sad gathering my stuff up from my homebase and preparing for Divine-ness...knowing I was leaving kitty all alone in the village....oh well, he had plenty of bunnies to eat....)
