I started playing Baldur's Gate 3 over the weekend and so far my main complaint is that so far whenever I've used Speak with Animals, all the animals are mean to me :(

Yeah the thing about being a normal animal in a fantasy setting is that only the hardest of bitches survives when 99.8% of anything living, dead, or otherwise will end in you with a second thought
I mean I you were an animal would you be pleased to see the dominant species that tramps about like it owns the place deciding to chat with you? I'd certainly use the opportunity to tell em to get bent.
Important thing to remember is they are animals and do act in accordance to animal psychology. For example an owlbear may very well still want to eat you even if it can understand you. 🤣
Yes, do not miss Scratch! He shows up during Act 1, near the goblin village. If you don't find him, Google or DM me! He can be missed, so remember to explore near your questing paths and objectives. Have fun!!
i never played as a druid so im not sure on this but have you tried being one and transforming into the animal you want to talk too? they might be nicer than if you are in humanoid form lol (also try talking to dogs like scratch he's nice after being cagey at first haha)
those squirrels that surround alfira and you walk in thinking they're enchanted by her lute playing like she's snow white or something then the squirrels are like 'someone shut that racket off!' lmao
When I play D&D the ONLY thing I want to do is Speak with Animals. This is actually also the only thing I want to do in real life. It rarely solves my problems in either case.
too many humans are replying to this when I clearly said I only want to speak with animals!!! anyway ugh can't believe I have to be at work for 2 more hours, just want to go home and be ignored by more pretend animals (and sat upon by 1 real one)
(I hope a cat picture from a human is okay since technically it’s still a response from a human) (also I don't know you but I am a listener so I also hope it’s not weird to respond)
omggg people in the replies to this kept telling me to wait for Scratch the dog but somehow I accidentally started beefing with Scratch the dog and he started FIGHTING us!!! and I was making everyone retreat to NOT fight this dog but then one of my guys auto took an attack of opportunity against him
fortunately I have everyone set to non-lethal combat but this b knocked out Scratch the dog!! And I immediately healed Scratch the dog obviously but he didn't wake up!!! Had to abandon my possible animal friend alone in the woods!! Terrible
anyway I appreciate that the game has easy/story mode, which I defo need, but I actually would like it to go one step further and have Disney Princess mode where all the animals want to be my cute helpful friends

Scratch and The Baby do a lot of the "cute animal" heavy lifting, now that I think about it.
kill them all
ANY time we encounter new rocks in a new location, she's tapping, listening, or licking them, trying to cunn something out of those stones 😆
