#I kind of actively disliked Wyll for his stuck up lawful alignment but now I'm like oop wait you're kind of a babe actually?

[corroded-collections]

my love for companions really depends on the character I'm roleplaying as huh

personally, I cant stand lawful characters. as a result, Wyll has been my second least favorite companion for almost 500 hours and 3+ playthroughs. I just do not get along with people who follow strict rules, and him and Lae'zel just feel like party poopers to me.

except last night I started a paladin run. I decided at the character creation stage that I was going to romance Wyll. I wasn't really excited about it, but I wanna play through all the romance lines once and I'm getting to a point where I'm running low on options (Wyll and Lae'zel left (and Minthara but she wont make it out of the goblin camp alive on a paladin run)). I honestly figured I'd drag my feet through the romance parts and would focus more on the other aspects of the game. so I created my character, and I had an idea I really loved for her, so by the time I was done creating her I already felt more connected to her than half of my other Tavs. as soon as I started playing, I felt myself slip into this lawful good mindset I had planned to set out on, and I was excited to watch her navigate this chaotic world on her quest to make that world a better place.

so when the time came that I got to the druid grove gate, faced the goblins, and Wyll leaped down from the wall to aid us in our battle... my heart skipped a beat. like genuinely. suddenly I was in love, head over heels right then and there.

my entire opinion on Wyll did 180 on a flip of a switch. now I actually adore him, I cant wait to see my paladin Tav build a bond with him and see where that connection takes them. I'm actually so excited to see how his romance plays out lmao. these two are gonna be so god damn cute I'm gonna lose my mind.

#this same thing happened with Gale too tbh but my distaste for him was much more neutral than with Wyll #I just didn't give a fuck about Gale until I made a Tav that fit him and now his romance has actually been my favorite so far #I kind of actively disliked Wyll for his stuck up lawful alignment but now I'm like oop wait you're kind of a babe actually? #this is convincing me I will have the exact same change of heart with Lae'zel when I eventually get to her lmao #I just need to create a Tav that understands her and falls in love with her and I know I will too #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #wyll #bg3 wyll
