Playing a Druid and using charm on the owlbear made me hope i can bring it to lie down and let me remove the spearhead from its eye and heal it up.
Charming it did not change the dialog in any way for me and i can only use my options to to avoid a fight.
I even tried talking it up alone as a cat, but wild shape cat seems not to be able to talk to animals at all.
Owlbears should have enough intelligence to let this happen, especially charmed.
I totally see where this idea came from ... but note that Owlbear is not a beast, but monstrocity ... meaning "something Druids should try to destroy on sight and certainly should not heal".
Yes, i know talking with animals should not work on it and it does ... but Swen himself told us that they decide to break the rule here, bcs that talking was too great in their eyes to take away.
Last time i tryed cat it was able to talk to animals ... so maybe there is some bug in this patch.
I mean sure ... Owlbear should have enough Intelligence to allow you help him ...
But our characters should have enough Intelligence to not approach Owlbear that is defending its cub.
Yet i agree ... that option would be fine, but i would make it another dialogue trap to be honest ...
You try to remove the spear > owlbear screams in pain > cub comes to help his hurted mother > owlbear sights the cup and attack.
