Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Anyone else feels like animals are too intelligent?

It would be cool if it was like animal farm, and talking to the animals basically unlocked a whole special plotline hehe.

Intelligent animals is a conceit I'm definitely willing to explore in a fantasy game.

The awakened grove would be a good hook for that, and perhaps help to explain away the reservations.

Maybe there is a rats of NIHM team in the cuts, waiting to stich it all together?

I hope we get a new class soon, Druids should at least be able to talk to them on some sort of higher level. Perhaps not as individual animals but as an expression of the voice of the Oak Father or Magna Mater. There are lots of ways it could work, but without that kind of set up, sure I could see how it'd be disjointed.

I wish Scratch could be part of the actual party as a PC follower, for Huan style hound glory hehe. I think the cinematic cutscenes would be hilarious with shot counter shot, between the origin NPCs and the Dog. Lots of options for the barks lol
