#and if there is anything this game has thaught me is that community is important especially because tieflings' lives suck even in bg

I think that what is bothering me the most about Gale's Waterdeep VS Baldur's Gate romance epilogue is that I am an immigrant born of immigrants, most of my friends are immigrants, I just turned thirty, the idea that two grown ass men can't have an actual conversation about where to live is insane to me.

Like yeah, it's a game mechanic, that's what headcanons and fanfictions are for, blah blah blah but like. Besties. The whole game establishes that Waterdeep deeply matters to Gale and Baldur's Gate can deeply matter to your PC as a Baldurian.

So why are we half assing this very important life decision based on what I said five minutes after fighting a netherbrain as one of my best friends run away in the shadow, the other flew away on a dragon to save her people, two other just went to Hell and I barely recovered emotionally from my boyfriend insisting he should blow himself up. Also did I mention we just fought a netherbrain and then we fell from the fucking sky.

#antiqua plays bg3 #like I know some of it is gale being gale where he is like truly you love me like no other but deep down I still believe I don't deserve yo #so I don't wanna risk it #but like he did previous to patch 5 #like i know there are things the game can't account for issues like the fact that apparently waterdeep has like zero tieflings #and if there is anything this game has thaught me is that community is important especially because tieflings' lives suck even in bg #but they tie his baldur's gate ending specifically to you saying that you wanna rebuild baldur's gate and then six months #then six months later gale has single handledy fixed all the upper city and he even made it better #so like just throw a line in about how once recostruction is mostly done they can just move to waterdeep #like if you want to make where to live such a big deal to a character then keep it consistent #idk #ugh #i think this is just nitpicky because this line of thinking is insane to me #like I googled it it's 800km between waterdeep and baldur's gate #that's. that's doable. #like #this annoys me so much and it's very nitpicky but it is very annoying #like his baldurian ending is still sweet and connects to some other aspects of gale as a charcter #but I am still like. #also apparently that ending counts as an adventurer ending...? girl what adventures #it's all refugee work and reconstruction #yeah I had this great adventure of getting corpses out of rubbles and round up some brand new orphans #oh boy was that fun
