    Title: Strange random encounter
    Reproduction Rate: happened once
    Blocker? no
    Details: I saw a dog on the world map and went to pet it. I was then pulled into a bucolic country scene with what appeared to be the same dog, and several cows. I approached one of the cows and was disappointed to see that I could not converse with it. In fact I found to my surprise that I could walk right through it. I then went to say hello to the dog, but it started biting me. I was unable to communicate with it, and I was afraid it might break its teeth on my plate armour, so I left. Very strange, and seemed devoid of game play opportunities.

    I thought the Encounters triggered by the Dog were meant to be just some animals (cows, sheep, etc.) to Harvest? The dog has always attacked me...but my read of the encounter is that he's there as the "Shepherd" and protecting his flock.

    Walking through the cows is by design.
    The dog attacking you is by design.

    If the livestock is being guarded by dogs, then it clearly belongs to someone. It would not be virtuous to attack them (if possible - I don't know since I didn't try), so curiosity prompts me to ask - what is the purpose of the scene?

    EDIT: Found another scene. Yes the cows can be killed, so I guess that's what it is for. Doesn't seem very virtuous to be slaughtering defenceless creatures and stealing someone else's livestock.
