although he did let on that the world size would be roughly 100 times bigger and there would be more combat and spell options.

Holy crap!!

Man's best friend will have all of the mannerisms you'd expect out of a four legged side kick. He doesn't get along well with cats and hates chickens

I love him already

rolls over playing dead when you fart

Most people do but their not playing

Quote:

he'll ... even help you get chicks - just like real life

Does that really work Ladies?

Quote:

The dog can't die in regular battle either, but he can become injured so you'll only be required to heal him if he gets hurt. It seems that the dog will definitely die at some point though. When asked about the dog dying, Molyneux smiled and said, "I'm not going to waste the experience." Telling? We think so.

Warning, this is a spoiler!

Hmm interesting.

Meh, I think people are reading too much into that. Molyneux talks about the experience - so he'll make you think the dog died, or he'll threaten it with death , or it'll at least be kidnapped ... but he'll pull through at the end. With downloadable content for your dog (a possibility, at least) and co-op (again, possibility) you won't lose it. Neither will you get a replacement, when the whole point is getting attached to the fleabag.

Maybe but he wants you to really feel the decisions between good and evil. Seems to me that there will be a choice to save the dog at the end but maybe loose something else in return. The fact that the dog will morph with you will mean that even those you choose to be fully evil will probably grow to like the pooch.

One thing I'm sure about is that he's aiming to mess with our emotions and I'm guessing he'll succeed.
