My character is constantly scaring npcs away.
I've started a moon circle druid after the new patch.
All npcs are scared of her, they keep running away preventing me from talking to any of them. Is there there some unknown effect I'm unaware off they? They more or less treat me like I'm shapeshifted constantly

Yeah something with Druid's wildshape. Super annoying. Ended up causing us not to be able to save too Though could be a different bug. Was stupid annoying. I hope there's a hot fix for this.

I think it's different about the wildshape. During the goblin fight outside the refugee camp I was in wildshape and the npc's weren't really scared, they were just making remarks about how I was a wildshaped druid. Then when I ended it after the fight ended they were basically telling my drow druid to ♥♥♥♥ off, and that was basically every NPC in the settlement.

I had a spider and everyone was scared of it. I got rid of it and no more problems.

Now I have a bird and the kids in the grove follow it around in awe commenting on how much they like it.

It didn’t start happening to me until I defeated the goblin camp. I have to use another character to talk to ppl. Parking Tav way from the party works too

Considering just how many of the faces you get to choose from at character creation are absolutely horrifying to behold, I guess there's a big chance your character just instills horror in the hearts of sentient creatures by sheer uglyness.

High-Elf Druid I'm having the exact same issues with everyone running away. I didn't even shape-shift at the front gate and everyone was still scared. I've played a good portion, using party members to initiate conversations, but even then I have to make sure my MC isn't in the group or NPC's will run away mid-conversation, and sometimes my whole screen goes black and I can't even load up the Menu to reload to a previous save. I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del my way out of the game and End the game. I'm just gonna start a new character because this is ridiculous...

Report this as a bug/issue and see if it gets fixed.

I play drow(ranger), never happens, hell in coop me and buddy have murdered and revived two of our current party members (one right in front of the entire "teethling" town)

Sounds like a glitch if I had to guess, ie. one effect from shape shifting is stuck "on" essentially.

Same was for me, the issue was with my summoned wolf. Just unsummoned him and npcs calmed down.

Druid wildshapes and most companions/minions, especially beastmaster companions, but even the pet familiars will cause NPCs to go haywire.
Bear, Wolf, Spider, Any undead/demonic/elemental minion and the list goes on and on, will cause this.

This is not a bug but a "feature" coded specifically by Larian, so they are very aware of it.
It's really annoying and serves no purpose.
It makes playing a druid or any type of minion character a real chore.

I would be fine with it if NPCs just commented on it, but the running away or following around to "shoo away" their target is not only ridiculous but it breaks quest lines, bugs them out or even lead them to their deaths.

There is a mod to fix this if anyone wants but be warned any mod disables achievements.
Hopefully Larian realizes how horrible this "feature" is and either remove it or give us an option to disable it.
