So I have an items opinion that I've been thinking on for a little while. I don't think Larian should have given us that necklace that lets us cast speak with the dead, or the numerous potions of animal speaking. It's very cool that they put enough thought and craft into the game that we can use those spells to figure things out, but providing items that let any class do them feels to me like it takes away a lot of the specialness. People bring up replay value from time to time on this forum; imagine how much replay value you could get if you played a character able to cast speak with the dead and that was your only way to see the spell in action? Same with the animal speaking. Larian is doing a pretty impressive job with providing class options, but those items feel like one of the ways that Larian is kinda watering down class distinction and taking away their flavour as a result.
