The latest Druid specific animations used solely for climbing ladders in wild shape form for instance. Why this design decision? Likely because Larian are so enamored with their own brand of silly fun they are thinking how to fit D&D into it rather than the other way around. They could have saved lots of resources by making the wild shape automatically turn back to humanoid form while climbing ladders and turn back to beast form when done. Without penalizing the number of wild shapes. Simple, elegant, immersive, quality of life, resources not wasted on something that likely always will be unimmersive - because giant bulls climbing ladders is plain dumb.
Quality of life, I don't want to wait for an animation to play for my druid to shift out of animal form, climb the ladder then shift back. It also creates new logical problems. If my character can briefly shift out and back into form to climb a ladder why can't she do the same to cast a spell or use an item? Having animals climb in animal form is the quickest easiest solution.
