Goes to show that Larian REALLY did their homework. Not only they made a far above average RPG video game, but also FULLY based on TTRPG like they intended. 3 times out of 5 talking with animals in the game can bring more insight, lore and flavor to any quests you're currently undertaking than talking with human/humanoid NPCs, big example is the elder rothé you met very early in Grymforge. The way he talks about _The Ketheric Thorm_ sets the tone much better than Halsin himself or Jaheira later on. Not to mention that, if we ever got a chaotic narrator update in which Milly is allowed to be sassy and make snarky comments all the time like she is in the outtakes, pretty sure the Narrator would be like "Yeah, sure, you got like a thousand different matters to attend to, many of them directly envolve different evils that threaten most if not ALL LIFE but... sure, spend 45 minutes talking to a rat merchant while you peruse his wares, I'll just be over here... wondering why _I_ waste my time with _you_ *loud sip of coffee*"
