Whaaaaaat????
Not to be mean but there are so many problems with this explanation:
- There are basically no orcs in the Goblin Forest which is why we never see them in that forest. How can non-existent orcs be the cause for the previous lack of wolves in the Goblin Forest then?
- Why would orcs exclusively go after wolves to the point that we never see them in the forest when that same forest contains a prey that is easier to hunt and tastier to eat - boars?
- If wolves are editable then why don't they drop meat? Rabbits drop rabbit meat, Boars drop boar meat, bears drop bear meat, and gators drop gator meat! But the wolves that orcs supposedly feast on to extinction don't drop any wolf meat?
- What about the Dark Forest next to the farm? It contains both wolves and orcs, doesn't it? If that's the case, then how can the orcs we never saw in the Goblin Forest be the cause of the wolves' former absence in that forest? But the Dark Forest in which we do regularly encounter orcs has entire wolf-packs?
Your "orcs ate them" explanation only creates more questions than it actually answers.
1) I get that people have been asking for the dog pet for a while now. I'm just saying that, in hindsight, a wolf pet would be a much better long term companion.
2) Ehhh! I guess the dog pet could be pretty helpful for new players but I don't see it being so useful that it's worth sneaking past 3 bandits and 1 wolf in order to pay ~400 coins for it (100 coins for the dog itself and ~300 coins for its armor/gear).
And once again, the dog isn't really that good of a companion in the long run.
