Yeah, I know this sort of thread is super-annoying.
But I started talking about this yesterday, so now I feel the need to try, try, try and remember.
A long, long time ago I remember playing an RPG that I absolutely loved. I don't remember anything about it. It could have been 2D, it could have been 3D, it could have been Japanese, it could have been Western. I don't know. The only thing I can remember is that there was a "skill" in the game unique to the player character that allowed you to speak with animals.
AND IT WAS AWESOME!
They'd offer their perspective on what was going on locally, sometimes delivering gossip about NPCs (or condemnation), sometimes they'd just be really weird and you'd get this spiffy perspective of dog or cat psychology.
So: let's list them out, if we can. What specific RPGs can you think of where you can speak with animals? (Specifically, with a unique "abilitiy" that only/mostly belongs to player-character).
.....
The only game I know of for certain that has speaking-to-animals in it is Divinity: Original Sin. I think it might have been in Divinity II, too, via the mind-reading mechanic, and given the inspiration of the former, possibly one or more of the Ultima games as well. (I've tried to get into Ultima, but haven't been able to yet).
