Baldur’s Gate 3 ritual spells allow you to cast magic without using a skill slot, meaning you can wield your powers and speak with as many animals as you wish.

The amount of time I have spent thinking about what a real DM thinks of BG3s adaptations of 5e is too damn high. The rules are all wrong, but you get Matt Mercer.

I see it as "inspired by 5e", then I enjoy the ride. :) In the end, in this videogame like around a table, what matters is the story and enjoyment of the players, rules are to be broken if they get in the way. That's what I have to constantly remind myself when playing BG3. ^^ Plus, we get new lore in the Forgotten Realms, that's what I'm the most interested in. And if I really want a break from very loose interpretation of the rules, there's always Solasta.

Solasta is a great game from a small company. I like supporting them because they did quality work and had controller support. 😁
