I am surprised that BG3 didn't get (at least as of yet) a more robust ping system. Some of the recent games (Overwatch2) allow for a pretty robust communication with the ping system. I could see something of that sort working rather well for BG3, especially if they would record appropriate barks with voice of our choice. At least it would excuse the ever present, at the moment useless, minimap taking a big chunk of the screen's real estate.
