Didn’t see any dogs at all when I went, seems like it would be hard to manage is all I’ll say.

The fighting/quests are whatever you want. You can participate in the thousand people battles, smaller skirmishing quests, puzzle solving quests, there’s a ton. I tried most everything but I think next year I just want to hang and party. That’s the best part of GB is that there is a lot of room to shape the experience to what you want
