I am obsessed with Gale. I wish there was more than one "romance" scene with him. After a hard day of battle, I just want to cuddle up with my loving man. The first one was so beautiful. I am mad at myself for not making a save so that I can revisit that moment.

@aceofjacks70718 ай бұрын
Gale is someone I love a lot because you can see very transparently how much his abuse affected him. because he was abused. even if she didn't intervene in his life since he was a child, there's still a wild power imbalance between him and a goddess. in the aftermath of the relationship, he still clings to her, because she's defined who he is for a long time. Gale of Waterdeep, Mystra's student. Gale of Waterdeep, Mystra's companion. Gale of Waterdeep, Mystra's lover. his lines also imply that Mystra wasn't the warmest partner. he has no frame of reference for anything else, just a high stakes, high powered, intense whirlwind of a "romance". so a genuine, caring, warm relationship where there's no expectation to be the most brilliant person in the room, to be worthy of a goddess, is unfamiliar to him. being told to kill himself probably doesn't help either. I've been in a very similar situation and it's terrifying, suddenly being on your own like that. you feel like you're nothing without that person, that you're losing the one person who understood you, who loved you in a way no one else could. but it's a lie. it's all a lie. and deep down, you know it, but acknowledging it requires you to acknowledge you are a victim, that you've been hurt. and that's one of the hardest things you can do. because you're special, you're different, you're Gale of Waterdeep, you can't be hurt, can you? thank you, Baldur's Gate 3. I never thought I'd see the catharsis of helping a fictional character heal the way I had to heal.

In my current playthrough I’m romancing Gale for the first time (repeatedly ended up romancing Astarion in my previous playthroughs 😂) and his depth and relatability hits different - I always found him a bit meh in my other playthroughs and didn’t really focus on him too much but now that I do, I find him so relatable and having my Tav help him to heal from his trauma is, as you said, extremely cathartic for me as well.

I benched Gale for my first playthrough because I didn't know how to play a wizard. For the second playthrough I brought him along everywhere and was surprised that unlike most other companions, he doesn't only provide one liner reactions to many plot points. He almost always have a verbal essay ready, with deep analysis and pros and cons of what we can do next. Very meticulously written by the whoever wrote him. It's refreshing and it gives his character a different kind of depth compared to the others. And he won't have any chance to unleash these essays if he's benched at the camp. He's a damn wise advisor and listening to him makes you feel like you have something solid to hold on in the journey. Don't sleep on him people! Astarion is still my favorite romance, but Gale's a great character too, regardless if you romance him or not.

And if I do Mystra first and I pick seek forgiveness he's all no lets play it cool like dragon ante.

Not that I needed an excuse already haven't been able to romance anyone else on my other plays lol :) he's just too sweet.

Just when I thought Astarion was the end-all and be-all for romance in this game, I set eyes upon this cute, nerdy wizard. Don't get me wrong, I still love Astarion very dearly but Gale gives him a mighty competition in being the most tender for romance options. Both men unfold their truest and most vulnerable selves after much investment which is a treat to behold. I haven't played the game so have no clue about the stories that much but to me Astarion is like forbidden fruit, sordid dark romance and sex like in erotic novels. Gale is that nonchalant, vanilla, cheerful nerd husband who you come home to, have dinner with, talk about your day and sip wine with while relaxing in his cozy arms. It's so hard to pick a romantic partner in this game lol.

I'm curious because his last line on your video struck me sweetly because he didn't say to my Tav.

Don't give him the book of Karsus immediately - be hesitant about it 2. Be against using/reforging the crown 3. Let Gale do most of the talking with Eleminster 4. Go after the conversation directly to Mystras Temple 5. Urge him to seek forgiveness I hope you get your happy ending with Gale.

Honestly, I thought this scene was blocked with an update. But today I finally succeeded in seeing it. (I used a translator.) 1. When you go to see Ketheric in Act 2, leave Gale at the camp. 2. Talk to Gale immediately after you enter Baldur's Gate. Tell Gale you're not going to Sorcerous Sundries to pick up the book. 3. Find the Book of Karthus on your own without Gale. 4. When you give books to Gail at camp, don't give them all at once. Give the book to Gale in the second dialogue option. In the next conversation, say that the crown is dangerous. 5. You must not engage in conversation between Gale and Elminster. 6. You go to see Mystra with Gale and click on the option to ask for forgiveness.
@DarkSideBecky28 күн бұрын
So, just to be clear, to get this I should leave Gale in camp so he does NOT see the big brain wearing the bling before the Kethric fight? I know you have had a million questions about this, but I am in act 2 pursuing the "you are more than just magic" path (no astral smooches) and I have the opportunity to try this. I still need to do last light fight and gauntlet. So maybe leaving him out of the colony and the Kethic fight so he doesn't see the crown is some weird trigger for later? He does get a slight power hungry look when he sees it, so I have always wondered if him not being there and not having to talk him down from blowing himself up helps? I have gotten the other dialogue with the forgiveness route in my other playthrough, but I want to see this one play out. Thank you :) . . . . . Side note and Astarion spoilers for his Act 2 confessions: Just got the alternate confession scene in Act 2 with Astarion and it is sooo much more sweet than what you get after Drow. I choose now to go Drow when I want to friend zone him (no jealousy bad vibes lines if you go for some other romance after), and Orthon when I want a more sweet and honest confession aka romance route. Go to LL and then have a drink (or not) with the druid, then take Harper convoy to ambush the drider, get buff from Dolly Dolly, and go to Moonrise. Avoid the Drow, which is easy, and do the Kethric scene (also, go save someone if you did not kill them in the Grove). Long rest to get an unavoidable Gith scene out of the way and next day, make your way up to the mausoleum for some questionable poetry. Then just go talk the Orthon to death (or kill it - whatevs). Make Astarion thank you right after, one of my fav sassy scenes with him when you can tease him. Then GTFO of the gauntlet after grabbing the way point. Go to camp and The Questionable Poet will visit and drop some lore on Astarion. Then you long rest and he confesses. It is more soft, genuine, and sweet. It does eventually loop back in to the same outcomes. I was just so surprised how differently he comes off and the tones of each confession, like "damn you really care about me and you are amazing" instead of "damn you stuck up for me when some bish was super rude to me so you must really care".

I actually don't know what would happen if you withhold the book. I didn't want to upset him too much because I was worried he would end the romance lol

I gave him the book because I thought I gave shadowheart and astarion the benefit of a doubt so it would be unfair to have higher moral standards for him just because he is hot xD he calmed down during the boatscene that I triggered before talking to elminster though. I will see if that changes anything for how he decides when the time comes. Thank you for answering my questions ^_^ @@Bi0tics

There are some interesting parallels between Gale and Astarion when romanced--both struggle to believe that Tav/Durge loves them as they are, that they're enough without the part of them that they're most associated with (being a wizard or vampire spawn, respectively.)

It's called Swarthy Wayfarer in Cream! There were other colors as well, like green and blue and red, but I loved the cream on him. Reminded me of Nathan Drake from Uncharted or Indiana Jones 😂 It doesn't have a satchel per se, but it has clips to hang a satchel from, I believe.

When we got Karsus' book, had our conversation about it and asking for Mystra's forgiveness, I did the Mystra quest pretty much right away.

Well, i don’t rly understand Gale. He confesses but there is mystra all time. He says that tav will be enough but there r always some other shit like crown, becoming the god, forgiveness and etc. He always thought and keeps thinking about his ascension (even more than astarion), even when he’s already done so many mistakes and got the orb. Srsly? Doesn’t learn even from his own mistakes? I’ve tried to romanced him, but i do not believe in any his lovey-dovey words. Especially after he blamed and got mad at my tav who really tried her best in resisting to dark urge and cruel past when all others, even laezel, were kind and supportive. Well… i was really upset after his freaking out after my conversation with Gortash.
@Bi0tics8 ай бұрын
Ultimately, it is Tav's decision that drive the characters to these choices. In my playthrough, where I got this scene, Gale didn't want the power anymore. He wanted to get the crown to Mystra so the orb would be removed and he and Tav could finally be together without fear. But that was because my Tav nurtured the idea that he didn't need all that power, that he was more than his magic, that he made a mistake with the orb and he needed to make it right. It's Tav's guidance that drives all the characters in their decisions, not just the characters themselves.
@MaLeFeu8 ай бұрын
@@Bi0tics ikr. But even after all of that in the end u still have choice to tell him that not getting the crown will be better for everyone. Thoughtful gale's tone and that dialoge option makes me think that his ambitions have not evaporated because of tav, love, mistra, forgiveness and anything else. Well, even the goddess and previous power was not enough to satisfy his hunger. I suppose it's just a kind of pretty delusion that tav will be enough. Maybe I'm overthinking)

@@MaLeFeu Oh, my dialogue was different. I didn't have to tell him he didn't need it, he went straight to saying he'd find the crown, deliver it to Mystra, and finally be free of the orb.
