UPDATE 26TH FEB: Rejoice, for Patch 4: Nature's Power has landed! Cow about that? A full and detailed patch breakdown can be found on Steam.
ORIGINAL STORY 17TH FEB: The most important thing to understand is that you will be able to turn into a badger. Yes, the David Attenborough of Dungeons & Dragons classes, the druid, is on its way to the early access release of Baldur's Gate 3. When? "Very soon," according to a press release. There's no specific date yet.
Besides a badger, the druid will be able to become a polar bear, a spider (probably bigger than a house spider), a raven, a cat, a dire wolf, and a curious-sounding "aberrant shape". This is something triggered by embracing the Mindflayer tadpole you have shoved into your eye at the beginning of the game, apparently.
