if you are genuinely out there claiming that gale "succeeded" in everything he "wanted" by becoming a god and that's why it's a good ending for him, you truly are a testament to the slow and steady death of media literacy congrats lmao

#the entire boat scene in act iii beats you over the head that this is #perceived lack of self-worth and helplessness in the face of death and loss of faith #and indulging him in this is indulging means indulging his first impulse and instinct in response to #the first lifeline he sees for himself in years #unless you can be his lifeline instead #as a friend and as a lover #but that's all okay #it's totally okay for him to sacrifice everything including himself in a bid for power #because he still loves your tav sooo much when he ascends right #he loves them so much he couldn't contact them in six month to let them know he survived ascension lmao #jfc larian really crossed some wires bc the cutscene is pretty i can't #also if your bar for a happy ending for a character is if your tav gets a hug and some kissies while some nice music plays #then maybe you should be careful throwing words around like 'narrow-minded' and 'black/white' lol #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: personal #fandom critical #tbd

if you are trying to whiteknight mystra, maybe, just maybe, don't blame the child she groomed or try to argue that grooming actually exists on a spectrum

or say that gale already had a bit of an ego before he was found by elminster and chosen by mystra, i just

like idk what to tell you, but... he was around eight years old when that happened...... that'd translate to second/third grade,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and that might have to do something with the consequent actions he took over the years and growing up into an actual adult.............

just a thought..........................................................

#who do you think whispered in his ear that he was destined for greatness #no child thinks like that not a one #also idk how often it needs to be said:#but gale didn't know the book he opened contained a part of the karsite weave until act iii in the actual game #anyhow i'm tired of ppl trying to be like NUANCE and then they try their damnest to handwave that gale was groomed #and that that grooming influenced his actions #and no #mystra not shouting at him or making him kiss her feet or whatever in act iii #doesn't mean she's to be commended or that what gale went through is 'lesser' ughughguhghuuuuu #some ppl apparently only recognise abuse if it's loud and visible #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: personal #grooming cw #abuse cw #fandom critical #tbd

larian: “we’re releasing patch 5 this week!! don’t worry, we fixed the most pressing issue: ast*rion’s kiss! 🤭” my brother in christ you have a whole roster of character’s that need tending to. honestly this is just comical at this point.

so i just came home from work and hoped this message was a pointed joke, but no

it wasn't 🙃

#the absolute tone deafness #yes larian #the most pressing issue is of course finetuning the overflowing content of your writer's pet #of course #not the novel-length list of far more pressing issues including the absolute lackluster act iii and the glaring scene disparity of #other characters (basically everyone that isn't ast*rion)#ngl i'm just so done at this point #sorry for liking the wrong character #next time they should clarify who their fave is in advance instead of pretending to have an equal roster of companions #so i can adjust my expectations accordingly #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: asks #larian critical #bg3 critical

#ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #edit: mybg3 #trying out different mods and i gave gale a little crescent moon earring bc i thought it could be a sweet gesture post a certain scene in #act iii and larian sure as hell didn't bother to give him some closure so #altho i'm still torn whether i prefer him just leaving his current one and not getting a new one #or leaving it and getting a new one #either way i'll have to uninstall this mod because it sadly overwrites his ea headmorph mod i use ))):

Guile the Knife | tiefling, rogue, haunted

Abandoned as a baby, Guile grew up on the streets of Baldur's Gate, ultimately taken in by the Guild for her talent with knives and an eagerness to please. Her first kill was her best friend, a young half-elf boy who got starry eyed every time he saw her. That undeniable urge to break him never went away, leading her into the arms of her holy father, Bhaal -- until she was ripped from his grasp. The child who wept over her best friend's body got another chance at life, and a way to make up for her past sins.

I keep looking through your Tara and Gale photos and...I'm always so upset that Tara wasn't around at LEAST for if Orin abducts Gale. Imagine, this little tressym is so sure something's off with her wizard and she sees something in his alignment is shifted, badly. Imagine, she tries confronting 'Gale' and at first he's trying so hard to seem just like normal, if a little too eager to dismiss her as a pet, she just Knows her boy and that isn't him. I doubt she'd let it slide given her love of fireballs though :,]

i couldn't agree more, anon!

tara should have been a part of gale's story as a companion as much as she is in his origin.

your idea is absolutely wonderful, too. i think you're completely spot on in saying that tara would just know something is off with 'gale'. tara essentially shares custody with morena at this point so. no way she wouldn't.

#rip orin if that did happen #anyhow knowing tara was cut from companion gale #and that we got a copypasted scene from his origin #to masquerade as content for a custom protag in act iii #is still something that frustrates me to no end lmao #ch: gale dekarios #ch: tara the tressym #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: asks

I pretty much consider you the expert in all things Gale so what is the current state of play with his romance route in terms of the bugs, scenes triggering? I really wanted to romance him as a 'what if' route but this stupid recent bug ruined my main first run where they were just friends with that damn stargazing bug we all keep getting where I had exceptional approval as non-romance and he said him and my Tav weren't close which really disappointed me as I consider their friendship just as important as any romance and that's been ruined for me now for my first run. Not to mention him telling Tav off for taking Raphael's offer before he had even offered. As it currently is, would you recommend holding off starting a Gale romance run for now and waiting for fixes or at the moment can decent progress be made? I really want to do it but I'm worried that nothing is going to trigger now. Thank you for your help either way! So disappointed all this messing around with him is causing issues in so many areas.

first of all i'm so sorry you had to wait so long, anon! i really hope you'll see this message. second, thank you for trusting me with this. it took a while to test because i had to nuke my old playthrough. it was so extremely bugged.

but to the good news.

i am happy to report that the gale romance is working again:

HOWEVER: i had to do jump through hoops to get it. i'm rn only using hirelings, in addition to (obvs) gale. i suspected the game is still having big problems with romance flags and it seems i was right. in my previous save i was close to several other companions like wyll, shadowheart, lae, halsin, etc., even though i didn't pursue them as alton. but they were still on high approval. it absolutely sucks that you have to completely avoid recruiting or talking to other companions to correctly trigger a romance scene at the moment.

the game is so extremely quick to assume that you are in a relationship after asking basic questions (halsin and karlach, for instance).

also sad to report that there's still no sign of the purple blanket that larian said was put into the game like, what? one patch and two hotfixes ago or something.

so all in all, i would say go for it if you can stomach playing with only hirelings alongside your chosen li. if you do want to take literally anyone else along and live for party dynamics then i would advise you to wait until larian gets a handle on things.

This has been bugging me for a while and you're an excellent source of Gale info, please don't feel obligated to answer but I was wondering if you have any idea why detonating the orb in act 2 transforms everyone but doing it in the endgame cures everyone? For the life of me I can't figure out why it's different and “it's because it was too early in the game” doesn't suffice as an explanation for me lol

thank you so much for your kind words! also don't feel bad for sending asks or anything. i've just been slow to answer because work has started again.

as to your question: i honestly couldn't tell you.

i talked about this with friends a lot and there's no real explanation offered at all. i think this difference in the way the same decision plays out in different acts of the game is more down to... the different endings they wanted to tell at different points in time, as well as player choice for a custom protag playthrough and an origin playthrough with gale.

so yeah, as far as i can tell, there's no in-game reasons or logic that can be really applied here or used to explain that difference.

(and not to be like that, but it really is in-line with the overall downhill trajectory of the game that begins after act i ends imo.)

#ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: asks #text: personal #fwiw i believe the choice at the end of act ii shows what truly would have happened #while the one at the end of act iii is there so the player can make beat the boss in different ways
