I expected it to be simple like: ''Me hungry. Me afraid. Cave there.'' But when I talk to animals I feel like I am talking to people because they are highly intelligent, and I am starting to ask questions like: Why has this animal not integrated into society and learned common language? Why is it not wearing a purse with coins and isn't a blacksmith at the camp?
Animals in DOS2 spoke exactly as you have indicated you'd prefer. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that some humans are simply not as smart as some animals, at times. Especially where politics are concerned...;)
