It's one thing to try and make the game as realistic as possible. It's another entirely to actively ruin the fun of playing certain characters. It also makes no sense at times. Wyll can walk around with a frigging Cambion and Imp just fine while Gale runs around with Shovel; but as soon as Jaheira summons an Azer (which is just a minor elemental); everybody flips out! That just makes no sense.
Also, NPC's in Baldur's Gate freak out about undead yet in Sorcerous Soundries there's an actual Necromancer selling zombie servants to customers! How does that make sense???
So please Larian, just
give us an option in the Setting menu where we can turn it on or off. That way players can decide for themselves if they want it or not! I think that would be the best option.
