Honestly this part of the game seems poorly thought out.

I don't understand why people are fine with barbarians armed to the teeth clearly ready to kill anyone walking around, or are fine with wizards that clearly have powerful magic - but the moment you summon an air elemental, people start to panic out of nowhere.

I know it might "make sense" to a degree, but from a game-play point of view the only thing that happens from people getting scared is that it makes it harder to interact with people you need to talk to. Nobody ever calls the guards on you for having elementals around, you don't actually get in trouble for it - people just run away screaming, then walk back, then run away again, etc.

Well, I suppose the villagers are used to armed thugs walking around. Summoning literal monsters is another thing entirely.

that's odd... none of the "find familiar" ones should be triggering it (doubly so for the bird since Dire RAven is the only companion who doesn't get the dialog either)

I can understand people being afraid of ghouls/undead or demons, but everyone running away screaming because a ranger has his trained wolf/bear companion is too much.

Leave your critters outside you filthy savage.
Animals belong in a barn, not the tavern.

i'm talking about the raven you can summon with gloves, he doesn't have anything different from other ravens aside from 2 more hp

There's a mod which stops this behaviour but said mod also makes them bug out.
Would have thought this would have been sorted out before it got released unless we somehow got through the entirety of early access without anybody reporting it/using summons.

actually that could have happened. early access had a very few summons and most of them didn't trigger anything since the druids do approve of animals of any type and transformed druid.
