It's rare that I critique bg3 but I do feel like the sussur blooms not having a massive impact on Gale's orb was a missed opportunity. Gimme the orb freaking out bc suddenly there is no weave for it to feed off of, gimme Gale in more pain than normal because of the pure Karsite weave sitting in his chest with only his life as fuel. Gimme a ticking timer until the orb explodes unless Gale gets far enough away from the blooms.

Only a thousand? I wouldn't accept anything less than INFINITE!!!!
The updated last kisses just swept me away like a tsunami to the depths of affection ocean...THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!! Especially the pull to kiss one!!!! I couldn't stop squeaking 🌊🫠🫠
I didn't expect that because I didn't even know there were updated last kisses, and I was like asdjghlrthgvnlkcxnvla GALEEEE??????? AM I DREAMING??????? Cause I thought I would only see this aggression in my brain???
I think they are bugged in the Upper City. I can only trigger last kisses in the Morphic Pool now (Hotfix #24)

It seems Ed used to gave elves a setting that when they kiss on the lips it works like mind meld. They get to take a tour at each other's mind, and even fight there.
From 'Elminster In Myth Drannor (1997)'
She glided to a stop in front of him. He kissed her eyelids, and then her chin—but at her lips he found his way barred by two raised fingers. "Leave my mouth for last," she said from behind them. "For elves, that's particularly special."
...
Their lips met, and then their tongues. And El faced the attack he'd been expecting.
The bright sparks of a spell seemed to streak through his mind, with her will racing right behind them. Symrustar was seeking to control him, body and mind, to be her puppet, while she raked through his memories to learn all she could...especially human magic.
Also elves's erogenous zone seems to include palms and ear tips.
Elminster almost smiled as a memory flashed through his mind. In the library of a wizard's tomb lost in the High Forest there is a curious book that has no name. It is the diary of a nameless half-elven ranger of long ago, that tells of his thoughts and deeds, and the sorceress Myrjala had made Elminster read it to learn how elves regarded magic. On the subject of giving pleasure to elven maids, it mentioned using one's tongue gently on the palms of the hands and the tips of the ears.
"Without your words, your touch... I fear I would have sought purpose and solace in that void. You reminded me what living can feel like." - Gale of Waterdeep
Idc what anyone says, Gale is the absolute proof of what being genuinely loved can do to someone who was abused. When you don't know what affection is, it's so easy to mistake exploitation for endearment. Used, abandoned, forgotten, and finally condemned to die, Gale only finds his will to live when Tav shows him he's worthy as the man he is. If that's not beautiful, I don't know what is.
