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.

Here’s a full list of BG3 ritual spells:

Detect Thoughts (Wizard)
Disguise Self (Cleric, Wizard)
Enhanced Leap (Druid, Wizard)
Feather Fall (Wizard)
Find Familiar (Wizard)
Longstrider (Druid, Wizard)
Silence (Cleric)
Speak with Animals (Druid)
Speak with Dead (Cleric)

I play a wizard and can cast any ritual spell I know out of combat without using up a spell cast slot. Even though the spell will list the cost as spell slot 1 or 2, it will cast without using the slot.

Out of combat, you just have to add the ritual spell to prepared spells, cast it then remove it and add another type of spell.

Other classes can add ritual spells as a perk at level 4.

(I made level 4 last night and looked into it when I saw the Ritual Spells perk. Wizards will not need to take this perk. They only need to learn/have ritual spells in their spell books.)

Ritual spells are different than in 5e. You're describing them nearly like they are in 5e except in 5e wizards can just use any ritual they have in their spell book. In 5e not every class can even use ritual spells as rituals. My paladin can use speak with animals as a ritual. They can't do that in 5e. You don't need the ritual caster feat. Any spell that's tagged as a ritual can be a ritual in BG3.

It would be nice to just be able to cast the rituals from the spell list rather than 'prepare' them for 2 seconds each time

Yes! Being able to cast anything from the spell book when not in combat would be nice.
