So far Patch 5 has been great. However, playing a Beastmaster Ranger has become unenjoyable. I like that NPCs will comment on you're Beast Companion. Unfortunately, they will not only comment on it, but they will also run away. If you're Beast Companion gets to close to an NPC during dialogue, they will run away and dialogue will end (as seen in the first video). It's also pretty annoying to run after vendors to buy something because they're afraid. At first i thought that only the Tieflings run away since they think that your companion is a Druid spy. However, even some Druids are scared of your Companion (as seen in the second video). I'm not sure this is a bug but I hope it is because making the companion that scary would be a poor choice. I really don't want to kill my companion every time I want to talk to someone.

I had to move my companion forwards for demonstration purposes.

Here I just walked around a bit. As you can see, sometimes I can talk to people without them running away.


Edit: Seems like they only do it once, afterwards they stop running away. The dialogue cancelling thing is still annoying though.
