Thank you for sharing!
That's interesting and a bit weird that he says that druids could just use Animal Friendship to get a sort of companion! I've never used the spell in BG3 because its description says beasts may become hostile at the end of the spell. Using a spell that controls an animal against its will then being forced to kill it when it you've finished with it doesn't sound very nature loving to me

.
Is this a difference in implementation between BG3 and 5e, and should there be some way of telling which animals are happy to join you on your adventure and therefore wouldn't mind the spell, versus ones that will get upset and attack? In fact, given that the description of the spell put me right off I never tried it, so perhaps it already works that way.
