Beastmaster Ranger Animal Companion Roleplay

[OmniTempest]

Anyone whose recently played beastmaster, I was wondering if the ability to have roleplay interactions with your animal companion was ever implemented. Like, if you're able to pet them, show them affection, use speak with animals on them, etc. I haven't been able to find anyone answering this question post-release.

I know there's a dog and an owlbear you can adopt as pets in game, but I'd really love a giant spider I can talk to and love on.

Its like you must play Wyll if you want a deep Warlock experience. Or Shadowheart for evil cleric experience. Any other choices just have had minimal support and depends on modding to bring it to life.

Fully fleshing out every choice or option is an impossible thing to ask from the devs, whom is about done with the inhouse development of bg3, just the last big patch with the new subclasses to go.

You can't go that far with your pet companions in the game for the Beastmaster Ranger you can summon.

You can summon a Giant Spider, to do your bidding in combat and at the higher levels, they can even "Help" a companion who has fallen or needs help to remove a condition. That's the best you will be able to do.

BTW, I assume you CAN Speak with Animals with your Animal Companions.

That said, I've never tried, nor seen what they would say if you did so.

From my experience, extremely low-intelligence "in the world" animals don't have anything very deep to "say," even if you Speak with Animals with them.

You can speak with Scratch the dog. He got dialogue.
