@@pikagamergirl16 additionally one of their unique abilities is “poison sense” which allows them to detect whether substances are poisonous by taste, touch, or smell. This would theoretically allow Tara to specifically mess with poisonous bugs in particular and ignore non poisonous ones if they really wanted to mess with Gale.
Gale as a character is just so funny. I was wheezing when he got killed and had an entire spirit projection tell me entirely overcomplicated steps on how to bring him back. Then we went to the arcana tower and he said the wizard was being extra for using poetry to control his machines. You have no place to talk magic man.
@@Nixahma oh absolutely. He had already confessed to me about the bomb in his chest ages ago, which made it even more funny to me. Especially when I even had max affection from him.
I was totally ready to accept that I lost a party member and then boom his contingency plan popped up lol. It makes perfect sense he was a freaking arch mage in water deep before he got spanked by Mystra. Of course he is going to have a back up plan.
I love that spider licking reaction. My favorite, though, is his response when Astarion asks him if he's been enjoying their "walks together" lol. He tries to be nice about it, but he is clearly uncomfortable around Astarion, lol. He makes this little "Errrm" sound that is comedy gold. Brilliant voice acting. Astarion and Gale in the party together is a must for me.
@@PanEtRosa I've heard it on all my playthroughs so far. It's usually around the time we arrive at the blighted village. I think going near there with them both in the party triggers it. It might depend on who else is in the party and if they also have dialogue triggers there. I usually have Lae'zel as my 4th at that point.
It was hilarious because this character is almost always unfazed in his tone of voice. So to find points where that composure breaks, was a needed richness to the recipe.
Tim Downie got distracted by the bookshelf too! I remember someone asking what about Gale resonated with him and he replied "Well first of all books," and then went on a wonderful tangent about all the genres and authors he collects, as well as the fascinating history of some of the authors 😆 It was very Gale haha
I love that line so much, seeing Gale finally being annoyed about something was amazing. Having Astarion and Gale in the party is a gift that just keep on giving. 😂
What a great line. I brought him because I was romancing Gale, but that read made it sound like he was reconsidering- why is he bothering with my spider-licking idiot?
Tim does such an amazing job of showing Gale's intelligence, humour and struggle with what he thinks he needs to be to be accepted and loved. And the grumpy lines are a joy!
I love the delivery of that line because it's exactly how Gale would tell his cat to stop licking something. It's a line that you can tell he has said many times before with the same level of exasperation.
The running gag among me and my friends is always :"is gale dead again?" Cause he dies so quickly and we just moved on from trying to help him at this point. Like "Gale" himself: Cant be helped xD
@@FelineFurKin yeah, I'm managing him properly in my second playthrough (the first one is stuck in act 3). I've given him the massive AOE spells, summons and ways of escape - he's the one reviving the rest now 😅
@@RPGgemsthis! I don't get how Gale dies all the time for everyone. Just equip him properly and he's the MVP of the battlefield, lol. His position also matters, shouldn't have him right there in the middle of combat and you should pull your own characters away before using his high damage AOE spells. In the end, my druid and Karlach are more often on the brink of dying because they're always the ones getting targeted :D
@@Eagle_Owl2 wizards are not easy at first, I should know, it's my absolute favorite class since the very first D&D edition (yep, I'm THAT old 😅). Some people just can't handle the complexity of the class, others just don't like that kind of gameplay. Either way, it ends with an often dead wizard 🤷♀️
@@nimeryaspawnbrd1049 I'm not nearly as long into DnD as you are, but I also like wizards as a class very much, though I always tend to use druids. I'm a simple gal, I love wild shape. Wizards are a close second for me however. And yeah, it comes down to how you use them. They don't do well in the midst of the battlefield, but especially BG3 gives you great and early options to improve Gale's AC and he only becomes more useful as the game progresses. But then I see people getting those defense braces (+2 AC to anyone not wearing armor) and putting them on literally anyone else than Gale, even though anyone else wears armor lol.
An effing brilliant voice actor. And everyone is at the top of their game here. Literally. The Larian crew are the misfits that just stole your girlfriend and the Kings jewels.
His portrayal of Gale is so perfect, he’s sarcastic, amused, angry, sometimes reaches the “I am so bloody done with you and your bullshit” point 😂 i love talking to Gale
I was shook when we got to the fight with Saravok, and at that time it was the worst and bloodiest area my party had been to. Gale’s comment about the temple of Baal was something like “Let’s finish this unpleasantness, then NEVER speak of it again!” And he meant it! Back at camp he was the only one who didn’t make a comment about that nastiness, always a man of his word 😂😂
I've heard people say that you can tell Gale has a cat because that's exactly how you'd talk to your cat if it's doing some dumb shit again and I love it 😂
When we were crouching to sneak in. Gale told my character "not this again." I laughed so hard. 😂 definitely wasnt expecting him to complain about crouching.
Haha yeah. Sometimes he'll say something like "you know an invisibility spell will do just fine" when sneaking. His poor wizard knees can't crouch lol.
ahhh in the first play through i ever did and finished a couple days ago, gale was who i romanced. i’d include my favorite line but i don’t want to spoil for those who haven’t gotten close to him yet. he’s an absolutely wonderful character, i adore that funky lil wizard 💕
Garthy and Jack's relationship and the healing nature of it was one of the highlights of this campaign. It was so organic - Jack being the member of the party with the most self-imposed punishment and guilt, and Garthy being dedicated to helping others and giving them whatever they need - and incredibly wholesome.
I just love Gales whole persona so much. So much so i cant even pick between him and Astarion. So I chose Gale on my main gameplay and on my second play through im romancing Astarion
I loved one of the very first scenes of Gale when you told him that you landed the Mindflayer ship safety and he just leans to his side to look behind you with the look in his face xD
This is the only line i have heard from gale before the game become so viral. One day i will have enough time to make the second playthrough and will find him to be in party... BTW. Tim is so nice!
Gale is very flippant, it's a huge part of why I like him as a character. He's taking the whole tadpole thing in stride. An admirable quality. No need crying over spilled milk and all that. Also his insatiable greed for magical power. Big mood. I feel that. What, I'm supposed to NOT open the cursed book of forbidden magic? Please, it's clearly forbidden because it's freaking wicked and awesome and I must touch it.
Read a comment on a video of that line and someone commented that's exactly how a cat person would yell at their cat. As a person with 3 cats, i couldnt agree more. 😂
And here i thought Karlach and Astarion had the funniest reactions with "DO I SMELL BEEF" and "Rotten meat... thats what gets you going?... WELL. To each their own"😂😂😂
I love how when I get the Necronomicon thingy, everyone is horrified except for Gale who is deeply insulted that I have thrown the violent flesh book on the floor and destroyed it.
STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING!
Love that line! You can hear Gale's soul shatter as he realizes he is travelling with a dumbass 😂
Yeah it was perfect.
especially when it's implied that gale HATES (or even afraid of) spiders 😂
It also makes it sound like Gale is scolding his cat since that is absolutely something a cat owner would yell at their cat 😂
He says it the way a cat owner would yell at their cat
damn i didnt have gale in my party during that scene rofl
Gale is the literal embodiment of "Oh no. Anyway..."
aka a brit. Gale is a british person stuck who just so happen to also be a wizard 😆
Isn’t astarion like this aswell?
@@cen3684 Nah Gale is more indifferent about it, Astarion is enjoying it.
Anyway, want a treato?!
Beat me to the punch by a month lol

This line literally took me out when I first heard it 💀
I just saw the clip of that line earlier. The comments were torn between "he owns a cat" and "he must have kids."
Tara is a tressym! (Was his reaction when I asked about his "cat"). Very indignant lol.
@@scully4lifewhich is funny because if you ask him about himself he says he does have a cat lol. So what is the truth, Gale? Hmmmm?
@@MeonLightsi think he's just too lazy to explain Tara until you get closer XD
I have the same name as Tara and am a cat person so it was twice as funny for me 😂
Meant the voice actor himself.
That Gale's VA is sitting there in front of a hoard of books and a skull has just made my morning.
He is a wizard after all
oh he loves all of them. he spoke with neil and he listed a lot of the like signed collectors editions and neil took a huge sip of his wine. literally if Astarion visited candlekeep
didnt realize this was from neils account lmao this whole video is great
"I should have clarified. A helping hand?"
Yes! "Ow!"
I always slap him on every single playthrough.
Me with my Dark Urge character just giving some "love bites" to his hand 😂😂😂
Mage hand :)
haha my rowdy pugilist also just high fived him first😂
STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING!! Is exactly how I see Gale reprimanding Tara for playing with poisonous bugs.
What’s really funny is that the bugs being poisonous wouldn’t matter because tressym are immune to poison.

@@gwenethp511 Same. Gale we are literally dating what have I done to make you believe I'd need convincing to resurrect you
The best is that he goes over the order of the notes that need to be played, only for it to just be D-E-A-D

i swear astarion was just saying that for us, "don't you... gale??" absolute 'pet me, haha tricked you' energy
Astarion, Gale and Karlach in a team makes me feel like the 3rd...... more like the 4th wheel.. they are in their own world 😅
omg where is this "walks together" line? had them both in party the whole time and never heard it.
@@PanEtRosa I've heard it on all my playthroughs so far. It's usually around the time we arrive at the blighted village. I think going near there with them both in the party triggers it.

in my game when Astarion asks Gale if he enjoys their walks together Gale goes "Sure... in silence 😑"
That line is how you know Gale owns a cat lol
It was hilarious because this character is almost always unfazed in his tone of voice. So to find points where that composure breaks, was a needed richness to the recipe.
Gale's VA just living in a castle of of books?
How... unexpected 😂
"I should have clarified. A helping hand." and "STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING" are my favorite Gale lines so far 😂😂😂
That was one of the best lines in the game 😅 especially for such a creepy area with tough encounters it really lightened the mood lol
I'm just so distracted by his bookshelf. I could spend all day going through all that papery goodness
I know! I feel like Gale finally let us visit his tower and we're just digging through all his shit and only half listening to his rambling stories
@@slayerdwarfify This is literally my favourite reply to anything I've said ever 👏
Same

Literally the instant my husband heard that line he said "yep, that's why Gale's the best companion."
Gale is unmoved by party deaths 😂
I mean, have you seen what he does when he dies? He has an entire projection and a long-ass procedure on how to revive him 😭 I love that for him

@@RPGgems mans doesn't have the patience 🤣
@@gwenethp511 OH MY GOD ITS SO LONG AND CONVOLUTED AND FUNNY
@@eliotasterforrest5026 I DID IT ALL AND ASKED HIM WHY AND HE WAS JUST LIKE "for the fun of it" like I love that for him 😭

What a great line. I brought him because I was romancing Gale, but that read made it sound like he was reconsidering- why is he bothering with my spider-licking idiot?

Tim does such an amazing job of showing Gale's intelligence, humour and struggle with what he thinks he needs to be to be accepted and loved. And the grumpy lines are a joy!
Gale is a minty python character who stumbled onto a magic period drama set and declared himself the wizard.
I love the delivery of that line because it's exactly how Gale would tell his cat to stop licking something. It's a line that you can tell he has said many times before with the same level of exasperation.
Yes! The dead spider in the gauntlet of Shar! I laughed so much because it was so quick and forceful like parent to a toddler!
Look at his books! And this skull! Larian actually found and invited a real wizard to play the wizard 😅❤
That line killed me because it sounds exactly like something you’d hear at the table in a real session of d&d
Damn it feeds the shipping demons when it’s Astarions channel and gale saying ‘stop licking it!’
another very good one is his reaction when he describes his favorite activities with tara but you just thought she's his cat.
The running gag among me and my friends is always :"is gale dead again?" Cause he dies so quickly and we just moved on from trying to help him at this point. Like "Gale" himself: Cant be helped xD
Over time, he’s got stronger for me, I guess I found him a few handy spell and bits of armour, it’s nice to keep him alive longer 😏

"Oh boy everyones died oh well off we go!🧙🏼♂️"
I love him
Imagining the player character being hit on the nose with a rolled up newspaper by Gale. "No, bad!"
Gale and Astarian are my favorites. I love when Astarian calls the party a bunch of weirdos, he’s not wrong lol

For me it’s always been “I will erupt” just the pertinence of that phrase. The gravity of what’ll happen if the orb goes off. Chef’s kiss.

I cried with laughter so hard when I came across this scene. I had to go back to camp and get EVERYONE’s reactions. Gale’s is the funniest!
I love Gale
I love his voice man- so good
he's just a regular cat owner, I love him
I love that he has a library in the backC he’s literally his character 🤣
STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING he thoroughly scared me when he yelled that
I love Gale I enjoy his dark humour laced in an eloquent wizard package.
My absolute favorite line in the entire game. Love Gale and his voice actor my absolute favorites
Gale has whimsical pragmatism down to a tee and it’s great lol
I just love Gales whole persona so much. So much so i cant even pick between him and Astarion. So I chose Gale on my main gameplay and on my second play through im romancing Astarion
Saw this line for the first time today and it caught me off guard i was cackling
I KNEW that he was going to mention it, it’s my favourite line too 😂
I just imagined him treating you like he treats his cat 😂
This line made me laugh out loud and than threw me in a giggle fit. I have a save just so I can listen to it. It makes my day better.
This game better win top awards for most if not all categories. 🏆
Gale's cat dad side came out. It was like he was yelling at Tara.
It feels like he is saying it to a cat, which makes sense haha
I laughed so hard at the “STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING”
Thats my favorite line too. Lmao
I loved one of the very first scenes of Gale when you told him that you landed the Mindflayer ship safety and he just leans to his side to look behind you with the look in his face xD
“Everyone is dead oh well” also, they all died from Gales spell 😂 I love Gale so much
I loved that line too he just sounded so fed up 😂
As a Kindergarden teacher I can relate 😅
gale has real tired dad energy
Remember, gale is the only npc you can dab up
Cat dad energy
i love that line because he has a cat and it's how someone might say it to a pet
I saw a comment on the clip that said "cat owner energy" and I agree whole heartedly. 😂
This is the only line i have heard from gale before the game become so viral. One day i will have enough time to make the second playthrough and will find him to be in party...
BTW. Tim is so nice!
He's just as expressive with his hands as Gale is 😂
My favourite line of his was when he was screaming dying in pain and he's ripped hand in my pocket after that
Gale in that moment showed how he is truly a cat dad
He literally ows a cat, ofc he's gonna be "eh, anyways"
Gale is very flippant, it's a huge part of why I like him as a character. He's taking the whole tadpole thing in stride. An admirable quality. No need crying over spilled milk and all that.
Also his insatiable greed for magical power. Big mood. I feel that. What, I'm supposed to NOT open the cursed book of forbidden magic? Please, it's clearly forbidden because it's freaking wicked and awesome and I must touch it.
Gale sounds like a stressed out single dad sometimes. 😂
Gale my beloved ❤

I like the way he says 'ceremorphosis'.
Best Gale line ever!😂
This gsme has the funniest fucking lines of any RPG i have ever played
I have a massive crush on this man with just his voice alone. Plus he's not bad on the eyes either. But that voice❤ I'm a Gale girlie 🥰
I keep a special save with gale at the spider because it makes me lose my shit every time I hear it.
Gale 🤝 Hank Anderson
"Stop licking it"
i love gale so much 😂
Why gale's Voice actor looks so much like him. Like feel he speaks like that and is a bit clumsy in real life too😂
Gale: _dies of 1d4 telling someone to stop licking it damage_
I got to hear the line in Esfands play through. He kept licking the damn thing 😂
God i love gale
