Hi folks, I've not been around for a month or so for health reasons, so my apologies if there's been some discussion of this already that I missed.

But I'm wondering what people make of familiars in the full release. I've found them disappointing, and specifically the fact that they can't interact with the small holes, or reveal or use waypoints (or, I think, go into new areas). This means they're not hugely useful for scouting, which otherwise could be a fun, optional use for them.

I know Find Familiar is a level 1 ritual so I wouldn't expect there to be anything game breakingly helpful we could do with them, but the fact that they have limitations that don't even seem to make sense is a niggle for me.

Is anyone else underwhelmed with familiars, or have something they'd like them to be able to do that they can't? Or conversely, has anyone managed to find some nice uses for them?
