Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Beastmaster companions scare NPCs

I dont know if this can be gamebreaking, but it is for sure making the game less fun...

I understand the idea, people get scared when they see a big spider, Wolf or Bear, but for a BEastmaster Ranger, this is a big problem, since you have to chase NPCs, or have your companion wait somewhere.

Again, I understand that it is a nice touch, but its really annoying, and I am sure along the way it will cause events that will break or softlock quests...

Even in my own camp, they send Volo screaming back and forth all the time. It's quite annoying.

I would be fine if you could dismiss and resummon your companion... but since you can only call one once per short rest, thats really annoying...

Same problem with the Druid in Beast shape, but they just complain or ask the animal to go away. Mostly I did not get problems

Ive had a similar issue with beasts and wildshape. Its made worse when an NPC interaction automatically trigger aftet a fight and is hostile due to it. No opportunity to wildshape out or dismiss my pet even if i was willing to waste the resource. I was just walking through a camp and got in a fight over my wolf being out. Pretty frustrating.

I would also panic if a bear would walk in local crockery store!


But yeah... Realistic, but annoying if you don´t know it.
