Companions Leave | Baldur's Gate 3

[@aliciaaz2356]

Gale really said "It's you, not me" omg, how do you even trainwreck hard enough to drive him to that??? You give the man three boots and a kiss, and he starts planning the wedding

[@tenjenk]

and even if you do evil choices, he will tolerate it as he is neutral and will stick around so long as you follow the path to fighting the absolute and align with his objectives. To get him to outright reject you, you ussually have to kill a lot of innocents on the spot for no reason, so he losses faith in you cause you're being an unstable psycho with no purpose. Even the Durge atleast directs their tendencies.

[@ZetsubouZolo]

@@tenjenk I'm on my very first playthrough an decided to follow the absolute and help them slaughter the entire emerald grove and the refugees. Karlach left right when I made the choice to do so and Gale wanted to leave after he had to join the massacre but I could persuade him over with a 15 roll lmao otherwise he would have left two. so yeah those two are not so fond of genocide

[@leafandbranch]

I went I blind and I didn’t realize how many things he wanted or what would happen so I ignored him and suddenly he left lol

he is like one of the easiest i didnt even kiss him and he almost left becouse me going out with wyll, and i was like stop being a drama queen we have a conversation where you talked about your ex we are not dating

Comments say the friends spell over and over. I'd be curious about getting it in game.

[@maxdrell6219]

She's not especially opposed to kindness and good acts (She's easier to deal with than Astarion for sure), she just detests wasting opportunities and letting things go unpunished. She's power hungry and hates giving up any advantages.

Wyll's tore me to pieces, even in the wake of your paths diverging, he still wishes you well, hoping you might get better one day.

[@Mulluns]

Something satisfying about them going "I had a good feeling about you, that you were the one, but I was wrong". Maybe it's because most RPGs won't let you dismiss or chase out companions.

[@Milena-ix5mq]

I hate it when the important characters have some sort if an "importance shield" which is stopping you from losing them/their trust. In reality, we are capable of disappointment, betrayal, or a simple change of mind. I think that in games and movies, we should also be able to have that.

[@TheSectorM]

Not gonna lie, hearing these companions fall out with you stings. Karlach and Shadowheart, especially.

[@sayakyo7024]

damn Minthara just wanted a home. this and the ending where she hope their journey would last longer so she can enjoy the company a bit more just... thats a deep character right there

[@danielcardona2714]

7:50 “boo is not used to handing out chances all the willy of the nilly” WHY IS EVERYTHING MINSC SAYS PURE GOLD??

[@MoonsongReverb]

Approval has a lot of effcet. For example i never experienced Gale so angry. He was always content with me, always positive and was more friendly. No matter if i romanced him or just friend, i always had full approval at some point with Gale. One must have messed up with his approval good, to get that reaction^^

[@theraven4786]

You literally have to get his disapproval on purpose to get it that low, he is literally the easiest companion to get along with due to him giving huge approval in his Questline.

[@MoonsongReverb]

@@theraven4786 Yeah, if you keep doing evil stuff or thing that go against his convictions only, that may happen

[@Deadpan_Snarker]

I also reccomend checking out his reaction at the goblin party if you slaughter the grove. He sounds not just angry he is *depressed* and loaths you. I have only seen him so angry only when Nettie tries to poison you.

[@Tharka123]

I have never even tried to getting Gales approval. In my play-through I played a morally grey character, only did good deeds so long as they personally benefited me. A few days ago I checked my approval with Gale it was 100%. He is extremely easy to please, I literally have no idea how to piss him off. Same with Shadowheart, my approval with her is 97%. Ironically the only persons whose approval I was desperately seeking, even to the point of savescamming at times was Astarian, and his approval of me is 60%, go figure.

[@MoonsongReverb]

@@Deadpan_Snarker I mostly compromise with Nettie. I just tell her i will take the poison once i show any signs of transformation, and everyone is satisfied^^

[@guilhermebreder6474]

That parasite line by Lae’zel goes hard.

[@WilliamTheByrd]

Wyll's goodbye hit different here... I'm glad I haven't seen any of these dialogues!

[@jesseleeshoemakerjr5461]

Takes a lot of contempt for people to actually leave you when they will literally lose their free will and become puppets of the Absolute if they leave. These people know without a doubt they will become mind flayers if they leave... and they leave. Thats an impressive achievement.

[@coops1992]

Maybe they hope to find and free Orpheus

[@lavellan2312]

I wouldn't say they know without a doubt that they'll become mindflayers if they just leave you. The Emperor has already taken them under its protection and they're probably not going far. Plus plenty of True Souls are running around not transforming, and they've already witnessed that the Emperor can bring converted True Souls successfully under its protection and break that spell. So really the logic is more like, "I'm being protected by an entity within an artifact that was able to protect each of us across the crash site region before we found each other, and [in almost every case] this city is where I live anyway. I have a decent shot at staying in close enough proximity to the artifact that I won't lose the protection. If I do lose it, I might become a True Soul, which is also reversible, and I've made plenty of allies along the way even if my main one turned out to be a bust. Becoming a Mindflayer remains a possibility, but it's a possibility I've already been grappling with for weeks/months on this journey, and I'm still a few steps away from that conclusion."

[@daguido742]

bro gale says it in such a great way. he really wants to be the better person and stop things before they escalate

[@pikopiko3149]

Thank you for uploading this. My heart is way too frail to make these choices myself. :')

[@_fluffypuppy_]

It's strange though. They know the artifact is the only thing protecting them from Elderbrain. Why would they just leave?

[@AlexZebol]

Yeah, makes little sense.

[@anska7475]

Maybe they all team up afterwards and Tav becomes the first person on the enemy list. XD That would be some way to end the game, if they could just throw the player character out.

[@_fluffypuppy_]

I remember Gale wanting to leave on my Durge play through and we killed Tieflings, one of the responses you can give is “but i got you this idol of Silvanus!” I was in vc with a friend saying I can’t believe he would try to leave we’re best friends I gave him a high five and didn’t chop his hand off!

[@aerieleah533]

Most characters are just sad and dejected to lose you, but legit Lae'zel and Gale just murder you.

[@megurineziam5900]

Other than killing the Tieflings, neither have I. Hell, Gale has been in camp most of my current playthrough and I have a good approval with him lol. Just needed to pass a check after the slaughter

@@TheSilkKing1 Sometimes you need to disengage in a non-confrontational way.

He was always around mid approval.

[@Lunakitty1234]

I don’t think this will ever happen to me. I love Astarion and I always try to be nice to him. Plus it does not really make sense to me at all to piss off a vampire. Maybe if you had a death wish or was really really really stupid lol And im nice to the others too because I kinda just don’t like it when people are angry at me, even if its just fictional. If I accidentally say something wrong, I always reload an earlier save. I want to be everyone’s friends. Well, most of them anyway. I don’t really care for Lae’zel or Minthara or Shadowheart. But at the same time, I can’t see myself saying mean things to them for no reason either.

[@MechbossBoogie]

I thought it would be neat to have a companion that doesn't say anything and just leaves. Not going to make a whole thing about it. "Nope. I'm out." No ultimatum, just gone. Maybe find them later someplace else in the world. You approach them and it's just "..." Or someone even more crazy than the player. You piss them off and they slit your throat in the night after multiple warnings.

[@Milena-ix5mq]

It depends, for example, if you side with the Absolute, mama K is like "nope, bye", or when you kick Astarion in the manhood, he leaves without any further dialogue (which I find hilarious😂)
