Please turn off NPC Reactivity

[Puggly the Grey]

It makes summon classes unusable and completely shatters immersion.

Someone else’s skeleton minions shouldn’t be chasing my skeletal minions around and shoutin’ “shoo” all the time.

Druids shouldn’t be runnin’ around in a panic cause I walked into their grove with a bear in tow.

[Puggly the Grey]

It can also break cutscenes and mess up scripted AI behavior, it’s outright game-breaking.

Please fix dis Larian.

[Kirb]

Ah yes, running around the Grove as a bear (which people saw me turn into) and being told to "keep your claws away" and basically be leashed at all times. I honestly think Halsin carries the sole community brain for that Circle.

Yeah I hate this as well, played a Ranger Beast Master and could never really use the pet because of this. This is not how its supposed to work in DnD

[MrSoul]

It legit is an issue at points.

“Oh that druid who saved us is a giant spider, wellp better run off into the death fog and die”

What a genius who has decided to allocate game resources in this reaction system that, in addition to being totally unnecessary, is crap.

I think it’s actually a hold over from DOS2, since this game is built off the same engine.

It wasn’t a problem in that game, cause summons only lasted 5 turns at most, but here, well, it’s problematic…

Yup, on my beast master I usually only roll with ravens as they generally don't cause mass NPC hysteria. "Its feather's are so pretty" from kids is about all you get.

[Scolexis]

Yeah agreed. I re-specced to a ranger in A3 and running around Baldurs Gate with my wolf was annoying. Took me a good 15-30 minutes to figure out what was going on. And not being able to summon the beast in combat just seems silly to me. So, I have to dismiss it to run around the city in peace, and then have a 6th sense to summon my beast before a fight, or just not use it at all. Seems to make summon classes pretty annoying/worthless imo.

I heard crab familiars make the npcs freak out, not sure why that would be though.

For anyone willing to add a mod- it's on Nexus and named 'NPCs Don't Run From Summons and Druid Forms'

Tank chu, if I had the points, I'd give chu an extra helpful AND super star award.

[Locklave]

It's stupid. I get the idea, it's a cool concept but the execution is so bad we are better off without it.

Would be fine if the NPC's just made the comments about it, but the running away makes any pets / summons more trouble than it's worth.

Yesh, it causes lots of problems.
