Animals with human traits/disadvantages.

[Iamnuff]

Feels like a bug, or just an oversight.

Started the game, picked out all the traits for all of my people... didn't bother picking out traits for the horse.
Horse is a drunkard.

Ten hours later I finally successfully capture a wolf.
Wolf is also a drunkard.

I get it, this is very funny, but it feels like an oversight.

Hey, i think it is just right. I mean, think about it. You are a wolf guy, you meet a wolf girl, she gives you the sweet eyes and three months later you need to work to find food for her and your seven sons and daughters.

here you were, one moment a proud lone wolf, then you are absolutely overwhelmed and need to find food for eight people.

You'd be a drunkard too!

They still treat animals as human companions during the events.

It's so off-kilter and funny that I can imagine the devs leaving this feature in, just for meme value.

[󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡]

Hopefully not because it's silly and makes me not want to use animal companions at all.

Would be better if they write some additional events exclusive for animals isntead.

There was originally a LOT more human characteristics for animals. Some got cut out.
eg:
Animals could use Skillbooks, and learn Run, First Aid, Wrath, etc.

I dug into the tactical use of them in this old post from last year, if you're interested :

I mean... run makes sense. Animals can run.
First aid... probably not.
