Gale's saddest ending in Baldur's Gate 3

#shorts #baldursgate3 #baldursgate

[@Feytouched.Locket]

The fact that the spell said “to think I believed becoming a god was worth losing all this” genuinely makes it sound like Gale’s own spell is judging him, which is kind of hilarious in a sad way

[@shadowfieldgaming2025]

I had a projection of Gale tell me that he only had parts of original Gale's memories, and only what was necessary for its task. It was right before his last night alive scene. So makes sense why projection Gale questions, because he doesn't have that memory.

[@jefferydavidson5347]

The video creator actually edited that line on, he usually says something like “I was lucky to have known you”

[@nobilisvaga5267]

The projection spell has gales thoughts, feelings, and memories. It's simply bound to a set task. So in a way the spell is him judging himself.

[@mythicmars4848]

If he's a god that's probably just gale affecting the spell after it's creation

[@cakeyeater7392]

​@@mythicmars4848 I thought this was what happens if he is destroyed during act III. Not sure how though, if using the orb is what grants him godhood

[@scarletwolf9910]

"How fortunate I was to know someone like you." Was what Gale said to me after I hugged him.

[@Blackheart_618]

If you notice in the video his lips didn't match with that line, so what he said to you in your playthrough is what he always says I believe

[@brayerkh]

“AHHHHH” Was what Gale said to me the two times I SAWED his fucking arm off. 🖤

[@almisami]

Yeah that entire thing is VERY insulting to Tara

[@elenalizabeth]

If you read the letter it leaves his belongings to Tara and his mother (and Elminster gets some dangerous things), but there is actually nothing for Tav/Durge because Gale couldn’t bring himself to finish writing his feelings out.

Really gotta commend the Tav motion capture actors, and the animators who cobbled so much of it together. Stunning.

What i noticed is that the letter is tied with the same strings, color and everything as the bag that holds the resurrection spell on Gale's person if he dies.

Little word about why this scene is so heartbreaking, and it's a narrative reason, every line he says as a projection is distant from any emotion you feel as a player, he is cheerful as he gives you his final words, very impersonal, and very him to make a projection with his voice and appearance and happily say to you that no he isn't Gale, Gale is gone. And so asking you if you need anything before disapearing forever, you go to hug him cause hells the emotions, and Larian goes full on breaking your heart : 1- You can't hug him, he is immaterial, just an illusion 2- The illusion shows the true feelings of Gale, and makes you feel is if it is him just in front of you 3- He disapears forever before you can say goodbye, making you witness him dying a second time and feel like you waisted your last interaction with him by hugging the air. No respite, no releif, only the crushing emptiness and remorse of having lost him forever. Godsdammit Larian. genius narrative storyline.

[@saribeepo.o5111]

Kind of cherry picking there. In this case silence works better (and would have been the response even if the PC was voiced), that doesn't change that most of the game would benefit from letting us choose the general response / tone, and let the character speak. The voiceless protagonist is an outdated tradition, now that games let the player choose how the PC reacts. That was the only reason the silent protagonist started, to allow the player to decide how what was happening made their character feel, not because it's better.
