The incredibly talented narrator for Baldur’s Gate 3, Amelia Tyler is voicing the bad bitch Hecate in Hades 2 and I need each every single one of you to hype her up and give her the love that was missed on BG3

bit of thinking outloud but for my current tactician run im doing a special wyll origins playthrough im calling the Evil Wyll Run & it’s given me a lot of food for thought about his character (or at least the freedom of psychological movement + exploration afforded to an origin run!)
wyll spoilers abound we’re entering the wyllenium here
wyll always felt a bit underwritten to me - i know that’s partially because there was that big kerfuffle in the 11th hour with changing his whole story and personality on top of having to recast his VA, and frankly hats off to both original VA lanre malaolu & new VA theo solomon for their hard work - both brought tremendous performances, & i sincerely hope mr malaolu was paid well for his work & time even if his voice wasn’t used in the final cut (i would also say warlock as a class itself felt a bit underdeveloped but im 100% OK with chalking that up to me the player not understanding how to play warlock effectively yet lol im more of a fighter barbarian Hit Stuff guy)
but honestly this feeling of being “underwritten” combined with a character with a long history of heroism in his pocket made wyll really interesting to me even in my tav playthrough. for all his accomplishments he still feels like a blank everyman, or like he’s someone who fully believes he’s the main character who doesn’t “need” to do any extra work on himself - and honestly he feels Very much like he could be The Main Character. once his backstory of the son of the duke was revealed too i immediately got the sense of like, rich boy trying to prove his worth beyond his wealth and status by striking out & becoming that hero, or that Prince Charming. basically that perfect happily ever after somebody. and im of the opinion that you don’t get mixed up with a cambion in the first place unless you’re either the kind of naïve “everything will just work out” immature that tends to comes with his status as the son of a noble, or you’re hungering for power. depending on playstyle he’s very easily both of these things
on the naïve front (ie a good wyll playthrough) if anything he feels very believably immature, & from that perspective the events of the game feel as though they’re the prequel to the actual start of wyll's story where he finally finds himself & learns what kind of man he really is. we just dont get to see it alas, but i really enjoyed the thought exercise of somebody still grappling with overcoming his own immaturity. he feels like someone who can still grow and that his tale is just beginning
Evil Wyll (meaning any time mizora shows up he drops everything to enact her instruction & hasnt once tried to find a loophole out of his contract) which ive come to be far more fascinated by is someone clearly vying for power, which is interesting because his noble status would’ve given him all the power he wants had he Played Nice. to me it speaks of someone who wants to be able to take what he wants from life without it being handed to him, which contrasts in a really fascinating way with entering into a warlock pact at all. maybe he thought it was better that it be a decision he made as opposed to nobility given to him by his family ties, maybe there’s still that pollyanna sentiment of “it’ll just work out & ill live happily ever after.” again maybe both. maybe in a sense the fiend, as he calls himself, is a good excuse to shuck off any poor decision he makes or any genuinely heinous thing he does under mizora’s instruction - an identity he uses as power fantasy (and very much in tandem/interchangeable with the blade of frontiers power fantasy) until it means taking ownership for any of his misdeeds, and then a scapegoat.
may be a bit incoherent but im only now hitting act 3 in my origin run & im Really enjoying this difficult characterization ive cooked up for myself lol

Just 2 dumbass druids who have waited 15 years before understanding how hard their heart stir for each other… (yeah, that’s THE slow burn, help)
If you liked this, stay tuned because I’m working on a little comic about them (and the other companions ofc) + I might make some character design about Thalia hehe
Hope you enjoyed ! ^^

A reminder just in case for some new Galemancers.
You know Gale's earring
Gale's earring is NOT HIS SYMBOL!
THAT IS MYSTRA'S HOLY SYMBOL.
That earring is a gift to Gale from Mystra. It's to show that he is her chosen kinda like tagging cattle
Please be aware if you want some Gale merch and they use that symbol. That is not Gale's and you are practically wearing his ex's symbol.
If you guys want to use a symbol for Gale, there is a cut content symbol for Gale (all companions have this)
Apparently this is similar to the symbol of Waterdeep with the crescent moon.
Or just use the Netherese orb mark on Gale's chest.
Just please be aware the earring is Mystra's symbol not Gale's.

CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF SOCIETY: so, what did you do on your day off?
ME: uhhh, I played Baldur's Gate 3 for 13 hours straight...
CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF SOCIETY: why would you do that?
ME:
If you know, you know.
Also, I'm not even kidding you. My bestie and I are playing multiplayer, and we legitimately played the game for 13 fucking hours straight. 💀
