You are almost right, though Gale was very very praised by his gifted art of the weave to the point everyone only saw him for his title of the young prodigy. His insecurities basically stemmed from the need to uphold his title to feel valued or purposeful, making him go by the name "Gale of Waterdeep" rather than "Gale Dekarios".
Funny situation I ran into while playing with 2 friends, where Gale's act 2 romance scene triggered. One person went to talk to him, and during the conversation Gale straight up says "You're not the one I was expecting" and it was hilarious
At this point I’d rather listen to an imaginary character than any of the boys in my city. All the men in my city only say stuff like “gyatt dayumn that’s a huge booty” while Gale is like 🥰
I'M JUST GALE ANYWHERE ELSE I'D BE A GOD IS IT MY DESTINY TO USE THE ORB INSIDE MY CHEST AND BOMB FOR US I'M JUST KEN I DON'T NEED MYSTRA TO BE GODSEND WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR ME TO TAKE THE CROWN OF KARSUS AND BE A GOD
Can we take a moment to appreciate that during both the regular love scene and the astral as he is making love to Tav, he is maintaining concentration to hold his spells for everything? It is a testament to how powerful a wizard he is, and if this is him weakened, he must have been Godlike when he was favored by Mystra.
I have to give enormous props to Tim Downie, who voiced Gale! I already liked the concept of Gale, as a character, but Tim's performance added extra (and subtle) layers of depth and intimacy that really sold the complexities of Gale. Seriously, the entire Baldur's Gate 3 team did a phenomenal job!
I lowkey loved the scene where you place your hand over Gale's heart and he shares the memory of the Netherese book. Despite it being pretty dark, it felt really intimate and trusting on both Gale and Tav's parts
I think marrying mortal gale is the best ending. Him becoming q god and taking you with him is ok. But it makes more sense forbhis character to grow and learn that he himself is enough as a mortal and he doesn't need to be defined by his power.
His story is understandable. Impressing any woman is difficult enough, I imagine, but a goddess! Of magic! You're bound to get insecure and wanna get better than you can possibly be. And here is Tav, accepting you as you are and challenging you to be noone other than yourself.
For real. Why would Mystra, a being who should know better, groom a young human male (one of the most foolhardy, ambitious beings) to lay with her and see magic power beyond his wildest dreams and expect him not to do something drastic to show he can hang/ prove himself
Especially in the context that it's seemingly well known she's had multiple mortal lovers. Whomever is her mortal lover at any given point knows they're only getting older and there's always going to be another young aspiring mortal to take his place. Why wouldn't he try to set himself apart/ become more godlike to remain by her side.
I know Astarion is more popular (I get it he's entertaining and dramatic) but I enjoyed romancing Gale more. There was no point where I felt like he was trying to manipulate my character for his own gains (unlike Astarion). It's nice that one can marry him, he's husband material (Astarion...depends on the route you take I guess).
I love Gale. He was rhe first companion i found after the ship because I kept wandering around and got lost lol. i immediately fell in love with him and his whole thing with mystra pissed me off, i wanted to kill her 😂😅
At first I was really annoyed with Gale, he was too scholarly for me. Then the weave scene happened and I was like 😳. I like that he gives off the vibes of a cute nerd but he is also very very sexy and will make your toes curl. Can he be too scholarly, yeah; can he talk to much, yeah but I’m the same way. I have this feeling that one of the reasons he can be so awkward is because he has a crush on the main character; if you notice, with the others he is not that awkward at all, in fact he’s very laid back with them and this is probably because he doesn’t have any feelings there. He doesn’t talk too much with the others or get way too scholarly. When you like someone and you are nervous sometimes you come off too strong or talk too much, and it’s because your brain is trying to express things while your heart is racing. My next playthrough I want to romance him. I’m romancing Astarion right now. When the weave scene came up I wanted to kiss Gale so bad. I wish that was an option, rather than just imagining a moment. That would of been romantic and hot 🥵.
I love how I've been working tirelessly to increase Astarion's approval and it's only at 56. Yet, Gale's is at a whopping 65 and I've done little to nothing to win his favor. He's cute and charming in his own way, but that man needs to CHILL. Lol
I was looking at a bunch of websites about how to romance Astarion. I was googling if every little thing I said to him would have a negative affect. I keep that up for a little while. Then I find out that you can look at how much approval the characters have. I immediately go and look at Astarion’s. It’s neutral. I look at Gale’s, because I’m curious. It’s much better than Astarion’s. I sit there for a moment as I contemplate what to do. After some thinking, I decide to go with the flow. I would still try to romance Astarion, but if things started with Gale, so be it. Later, after I’ve found out about how Gale got his condition and all that, I get to the party. I talk to Astarion because I know what will happen (C;). After the conversation (I accepted Astarion’s offer) and the narrator asks where you’ll go that night, I got the option to go to Gale instead of meeting Astarion. I choose to meet Astarion and i get the cutscene. After, I can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if I stood up Astarion and talked to Gale. I’ve googled it, but found no results to what I want. Any advice? I’m kind of tempted to romance Gale instead of Astarion because I’ve heard how unrewarding Astarion’s romance is.
Astarion is funny (in a bitchy way) but it's kind of hard to get him to like you if you're not comfortable to play a mean character yourself. Which makes sense. But Gale is just a much nicer person so if you also play nice it's easy to get him to like you.
It's kind of weird he went from going on and on about the beauty of mystra to suddenly telling you how turned on he is by YOU. And just before all that, he was calling you a close friend and nothing more. Very confusing
Guy is sending a lot of mixed signals at the beginning but it makes sense, he is still getting over Mystra and coming to terms with being a walking bomb and a future squid. The concept of someone being actually into him as a normal person and not a super OP archmage is hard for him to understand so he doesn't really actively pursue the Player Character until he's given a divine deadline which completely wakes him up from his heartbreak.
I got recently new to the Baldur's Gate 3 Community and I love it. This game kicked out many games from the list of my favorite games. At the moment it is my new number 1. This game made it that I can really forget the reality and the time flies by. That didn't happened a long time. Best regards!
A glitch has cause me to make a new gale romance playthough and I will be using all the steps in this video so I just wanna say....THANK YOU!!!!!!!I I don't thing I can take another heart-break for things not going as plan😢
I don’t think I will ever be able to play BG3 but if I do I swear I’m going to be crying the whole time wishing it was my DoS2 party. Gale is basically Fane and Ifan.
Hiw did you get dialog after defeating the elder brain???😮 I have only lame cutscene with sceleton roasting chosen ones of deadly 3some on a portray. And that's it... where is a fucking party I was promised??!!!!!
An hour in character creation lol. Seriously tho, when I create a character, I usually make sure that the hair color matches the eye color, and the makeup contrasts with the eyes. Moreover, she's a half-elf, and in BG3 the face models of this race are among the most captivating (at least in my opinion).
I must say, that training scene needs a bit of rework. 1) The animations seemed very clumsy, they could flow more. 2) If you’re a spellcaster class, you don’t need to be trained. 3) I play a cleric of Mystra, that scene makes the character look pretty clueless given that fact. But with her bard levels she played along because Gale clearly wants to impress :D But at least the emotional part after made up for it. Was worth the compromise. :)
I don't understand why lots of women prefer Astarion over Gale. I find Astarion as a cocky, arrogant man and not kind. Also not very masculine, and not attractive. To me, Gale was funny from the first moment when I pulled him out of the rock. I loved this character since then, a little crazy, optimistic man, funny, kind, seductive, charming, sweet, and romantic. Did I say... sexy? Sadly his ambition led him to dangerous paths and to be a timer bomb. I started the game in a coop, I didn't choose him as a companion because I didn't understand much of the game and less the magic. When my real companion left me alone, I included him in my "journey". There I am, in Act 2 after Midnight Towers, without food, so we can't rest, no blood, trying to figure out what to do to fix that. By the way, thank you for the video. 🙂
I get Gale's appeal but even if you romance him doesn't anyone feel like the astral scene is really embarassing? made me cringe so hard lmao also needed to add this: fuck mystra
Cat (Tressym) dad, poetry and books lover, simp, has a tower in the Sea ward with a wine cellar, rizzard, secretly a kinky man, healthy relationship, hopeless romantic, can cook, mama's boy, very loyal, hot nerd, would forget his goddess for you and the list goes on.
I wanted to romance Gale, and I now see I have a VERY big problem. Gale this whoel time is veing "aaaw, you like me how cute. but you're not good enough. But I'll leave eith a little bit for your effort. After all I love the attention." kind of romance. I have a confidence problem, I'm attracted to charm and ambition e8thout thinking that this is EXACTLY charm and ambition. Video game truly are therapy.
He's really not at all like that, not sure if you watched the whole video but he struggled with ego but with kind words he overcomes his insecurities. Im unsure how anyone could get that impression when he continually goes for big displays of love and affection lol
@@zhazhagab0rAgreed. Some people liked the damaged goods, or being the hero that saves him from himself. He's a hard pass for me. Halsin & Gale would be the my first two choices.
How on earth can anyone possibly enjoy this?? He's clearly not over her. He completely keeps tav in the friendzone with a wall right up, up until Mystra told him to go die. That probably messed him up emotionally if he was still into her (staring at her hollographic face earlier). Most likely this upset him a lot, but his attitude towards Mystra vs tav changed ONLY after that. Tav is clearly nothing but a rebound and a distraction. The fact that he wanted to have astral seggs "like the gods do it" just shows me that tav is absolutely a replacement Mystra. He was absolutely gushing about Mystra towards the beginning of this "romance", after tav walks in on him staring at her face, not to mention staring at her holographic head all night of course. Mystra tells him to go kys and then all of a sudden he's super into the tav now? Common... And you might say "well if that's true why did he wanna marry tav then?" Idk but personally I suspect he just wants to be married in general I mean he's obviously into monogamy and commitment given his reaction to the proposition from Halsin and all that. Nothing wrong with that at all but it doesn't mean he loves tav just because he's a traditional and conventional type of person who only wants traditional relationships with people. But fine sure maybe he loves the tav in some way. He's obviously grateful tav doesn't wanna see him dead. But that doesn't change the fact that he would have absolutely chosen Mystra over tav, if only she never rejected him so completely by telling him to go kill himself. Of course it doesn't help that the ex just happens to be a literal goddess (since you can call a woman a goddess to mean like she's extremely beautiful and attractive). Did you see that statue of her with her tiddies spilling out? Are you serious? I would die. When he was sharing his whole life story he's going on about how he and Mystra enjoyed each other's minds, bodies and souls or something along those lines... Bitch you joking? Thank God I'm not into him or I'd be mortified. Plus how embarrassing is it for tav that old wizards like Elminister know that Gale and Mystra had all these sexcapades all over the skies and probably elsewhere? Jesus. The seggs was really tame too. If you choose to just do it on a bed it's really lame it just fades to black. And personally i would have preferred real seggs, not imaginary seggs. And if you do it in the stars, it's creative and all but to me that wasn't really even sex at all. Idk what that was it was chaos lol. I don't care if you have a million arms and legs as long as the job gets done but maybe that's just me? I don't do it for a million arms and legs all over me. Who even cares? Lol that doesn't make it any better does it? I just couldn't really relate to that. That was all a bit silly to me actually. And no seggs isn't everything but I do feel disappointed when someone promises it and then fails to deliver. Also Gale meets the DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder btw (criterion 1 grandiose self importance, often appearing boastful and pretentious = he's a protege and the best of the best according to him, 2 preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success/power/brilliance/beauty/ideal all consuming love = wants to be god like including dating a goddess, 3 believe they are special/superior and should only associate with other such people = taking the time to announce to the whole camp that he dated a goddess, wanting to be associated with her, possibly other major, famous wizards like elminister as well, so that's two people he's bragged about knowing at least, and the dsm states that narcissists inflate the value of the people closest to them (tav in this case), but devalue the credentials of those who disappoint them (mystra), 4 require excessive admiration, often fishing for compliments with great charm = announcing to all companions that he had a thing with a goddess, showing off his intelligence and magical skill at camp superfluously with tav, 5 entitlement to special treatment = why does he deserve mystra to lead him to the forbidden realm and be given godlike power when no other mortal is given this privilege? Thats 5 criteria already, so technically Gale is a narcissist. And I'm sorry, really I am. It's not your fault if you didn't know. I think people just see a bookish guy like that and assume he's a nice guy, based on stereotypes. Fatal mistake. I remember seeing another clip of the ending if you play as Gale, and he's giving the crown to Mystra. There's an option to tell her you want to be together again but if you choose that, Mystra says they probably will be again in the future. Great so that means that Mystra does infact intend to return to Gale someday? And how do you think that's likely to end? Given what a simp he was for her he'd probably jump at the chance (if that guy called him "mystra's lapdog"). He may not cheat on tav or whatever if tav was there but he sure would leave tav so as to not be seeing two people at once (since he's not into that and all). Best case even if he does choose tav over Mystra at that point, Mystra is an all powerful goddess and the best mage in the whole universe or something. You don't think she would use it to charm the man she wants to be with and change his mind for her convenience if she could? Or even better case lets say she doesn't do that for some reason (but y'all think she's the devil and that everything evil in this world is her fault so by your logic why wouldn't she? But hypothetically even if she didn't let's say), tav has to constantly look over his/her/their shoulder. Forever worried about how they compare, and whether Gale would have rather been with the goddess if only he could. Wondering when he's finally gonna leave. When Mystra finally comes back to claim him for herself. Never a moment's peace. What a life to lead.

Astarion is my dopamine while Gale is my serotonin.
Literally
Wow this is so accurate 😂
FACT!!
Accurate
LITERALLY MEEEE
I love that everyone is obligated to *slap the hand*
I swear I've only been the one to just try to stabilize the circle and pull him out. I've been playing my tiefling as a chaotic good lol
Gale is the poster boy of using his wit and book smarts to cover his insecurities. He was probably bullied as a child. He’s so adorkable.
You are almost right, though Gale was very very praised by his gifted art of the weave to the point everyone only saw him for his title of the young prodigy. His insecurities basically stemmed from the need to uphold his title to feel valued or purposeful, making him go by the name "Gale of Waterdeep" rather than "Gale Dekarios".
With some men, it's all about appearances. I too believe he is very insecure deep down and masking it with acting over confident and arrogant even
POV: You talked to gale once
I love that this has 69 likes at the time of me commenting oh my god-
Funny situation I ran into while playing with 2 friends, where Gale's act 2 romance scene triggered. One person went to talk to him, and during the conversation Gale straight up says "You're not the one I was expecting" and it was hilarious

Can we take a moment to appreciate that during both the regular love scene and the astral as he is making love to Tav, he is maintaining concentration to hold his spells for everything? It is a testament to how powerful a wizard he is, and if this is him weakened, he must have been Godlike when he was favored by Mystra.
I have to give enormous props to Tim Downie, who voiced Gale! I already liked the concept of Gale, as a character, but Tim's performance added extra (and subtle) layers of depth and intimacy that really sold the complexities of Gale.
Seriously, the entire Baldur's Gate 3 team did a phenomenal job!
because that's what happens when the voice actors are paid enough
I love this man so much he doesn't deserve the hate❤️😭
We will protect him
He’s literally such a babe I will defend him with my life
I don't get the hate. Was he worse during the early release? Current Gale is one of the friendliest companions.
Everyone wants astarion while this man created an whole world just to make love you you
I love how in any conversation you have with Gale where Karlach is there, she is just hyper focused onto you, it's hilarious.
I lowkey loved the scene where you place your hand over Gale's heart and he shares the memory of the Netherese book. Despite it being pretty dark, it felt really intimate and trusting on both Gale and Tav's parts

Come, lay live learn etc. with a god but don't you dare reach for godhood yourself. Somehow know where the line is despite my blurring of it.
I was an Astarion girlie until I gave a shot to this guy........ He's the best romance option for me now 💗
I just picture Astarion, "Wait, I've been sleeping on a bedroll in the dirt when you can conjure a BED?!?!?! What the hells?!?!?!?" XD
Ah, so that's what happens if you slap his hand. XD
Even further proof that he's both wholesome and a good sport!
Gale is a sweetheart he's been an absolutly amazing boyfriend
I know Astarion is more popular (I get it he's entertaining and dramatic) but I enjoyed romancing Gale more.

I love how I've been working tirelessly to increase Astarion's approval and it's only at 56. Yet, Gale's is at a whopping 65 and I've done little to nothing to win his favor. He's cute and charming in his own way, but that man needs to CHILL. Lol
lmaooo
Gale is one of the most ethic and good hearted characters. Being a good person makes it easy to get his approval
I was looking at a bunch of websites about how to romance Astarion. I was googling if every little thing I said to him would have a negative affect. I keep that up for a little while. Then I find out that you can look at how much approval the characters have. I immediately go and look at Astarion’s. It’s neutral. I look at Gale’s, because I’m curious.

I'm wheezing. How on earth did I not notice that😭

I DIDN'T MANTION IT BWAAAH I'M ROLLING ON THE FLOOOOOOR
I think Gale would pass for a drug dealer irl.. "let me show you some magic" "i can provide plesure only some can give" an then you get high on magic
Hahaha yes
Hold up - not seen the quest at 1:00:13 before - which one is this?
I did the hand slap too XD

Moreover, she's a half-elf, and in BG3 the face models of this race are among the most captivating (at least in my opinion).
@@xModronx i totally agree i do sort of the same
This Tav...her face...looks like Marisha Ray. Maybe I just think that from the eye makeup and her stern squint...but I like it ;)
Where did you find the clothes he wears throughout the video? Are they modded or no
I don't use mods. All clothes and armor can be easily found in the game. I only changed the colors🌟
My question is... how do u not bond with this guy? Faerun needs more slut shaming. Apparently dating Mystra opens you up ...a lot.
I must say, that training scene needs a bit of rework.
1) The animations seemed very clumsy, they could flow more.
2) If you’re a spellcaster class, you don’t need to be trained.
3) I play a cleric of Mystra, that scene makes the character look pretty clueless given that fact. But with her bard levels she played along because Gale clearly wants to impress :D
But at least the emotional part after made up for it. Was worth the compromise. :)
I don't understand why lots of women prefer Astarion over Gale. I find Astarion as a cocky, arrogant man and not kind. Also not very masculine, and not attractive. To me, Gale was funny from the first moment when I pulled him out of the rock.

How do you get the scene at 2:23:36?????
I'm pretty sure this happens if you don't approach him to talk about what happened during the boat scene
Gale is your boo, but Tara is Gale's Boo. 🐹
1:03:31 Hes such a cute dork
Why does the kissing have to sound so gross???
I get Gale's appeal but even if you romance him doesn't anyone feel like the astral scene is really embarassing? made me cringe so hard lmao
also needed to add this: fuck mystra
That scene just made me feel a little sad. Being with Mystra so long must've really done a number on his confidence 😢
It's tantric and spiritual IMO. I don't see anything cringe about it.
I’m an hour in and I’m sorry I’m just not seeing it. Why the heck would I choose to romance this person?
Cat (Tressym) dad, poetry and books lover, simp, has a tower in the Sea ward with a wine cellar, rizzard, secretly a kinky man, healthy relationship, hopeless romantic, can cook, mama's boy, very loyal, hot nerd, would forget his goddess for you and the list goes on.
I wanted to romance Gale, and I now see I have a VERY big problem. Gale this whoel time is veing "aaaw, you like me how cute. but you're not good enough. But I'll leave eith a little bit for your effort. After all I love the attention." kind of romance. I have a confidence problem, I'm attracted to charm and ambition e8thout thinking that this is EXACTLY charm and ambition. Video game truly are therapy.
He's really not at all like that, not sure if you watched the whole video but he struggled with ego but with kind words he overcomes his insecurities. Im unsure how anyone could get that impression when he continually goes for big displays of love and affection lol
I think he would have been way better if they had David tennet voice him.
Oh goodness, that would have been great.
Most of what makes Gale terrific is the VA work. It would have been a different Gale, but not necessarily better
That's a choice...
Meh. Astarion was better hehe
Each to their own, as they say. Personally, I find both romances interesting. However, I must admit that the one with Astarion is more dynamic.
Different strokes. Astarion is too high-maintenance for my Tav's taste.
@@zhazhagab0rAgreed. Some people liked the damaged goods, or being the hero that saves him from himself. He's a hard pass for me. Halsin & Gale would be the my first two choices.
@@ZeriocTheTank Halsin is a beast🤭
Y u under a vid all about Gale then?
How on earth can anyone possibly enjoy this?? He's clearly not over her. He completely keeps tav in the friendzone with a wall right up, up until Mystra told him to go die. That probably messed him up emotionally if he was still into her (staring at her hollographic face earlier). Most likely this upset him a lot, but his attitude towards Mystra vs tav changed ONLY after that. Tav is clearly nothing but a rebound and a distraction. The fact that he wanted to have astral seggs "like the gods do it" just shows me that tav is absolutely a replacement Mystra. He was absolutely gushing about Mystra towards the beginning of this "romance", after tav walks in on him staring at her face, not to mention staring at her holographic head all night of course. Mystra tells him to go kys and then all of a sudden he's super into the tav now? Common...
And you might say "well if that's true why did he wanna marry tav then?" Idk but personally I suspect he just wants to be married in general I mean he's obviously into monogamy and commitment given his reaction to the proposition from Halsin and all that. Nothing wrong with that at all but it doesn't mean he loves tav just because he's a traditional and conventional type of person who only wants traditional relationships with people. But fine sure maybe he loves the tav in some way. He's obviously grateful tav doesn't wanna see him dead. But that doesn't change the fact that he would have absolutely chosen Mystra over tav, if only she never rejected him so completely by telling him to go kill himself.
Of course it doesn't help that the ex just happens to be a literal goddess (since you can call a woman a goddess to mean like she's extremely beautiful and attractive). Did you see that statue of her with her tiddies spilling out? Are you serious? I would die.
When he was sharing his whole life story he's going on about how he and Mystra enjoyed each other's minds, bodies and souls or something along those lines... Bitch you joking? Thank God I'm not into him or I'd be mortified. Plus how embarrassing is it for tav that old wizards like Elminister know that Gale and Mystra had all these sexcapades all over the skies and probably elsewhere? Jesus.
The seggs was really tame too. If you choose to just do it on a bed it's really lame it just fades to black. And personally i would have preferred real seggs, not imaginary seggs. And if you do it in the stars, it's creative and all but to me that wasn't really even sex at all. Idk what that was it was chaos lol. I don't care if you have a million arms and legs as long as the job gets done but maybe that's just me? I don't do it for a million arms and legs all over me. Who even cares? Lol that doesn't make it any better does it? I just couldn't really relate to that. That was all a bit silly to me actually. And no seggs isn't everything but I do feel disappointed when someone promises it and then fails to deliver.
Also Gale meets the DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder btw (criterion 1 grandiose self importance, often appearing boastful and pretentious = he's a protege and the best of the best according to him, 2 preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success/power/brilliance/beauty/ideal all consuming love = wants to be god like including dating a goddess, 3 believe they are special/superior and should only associate with other such people = taking the time to announce to the whole camp that he dated a goddess, wanting to be associated with her, possibly other major, famous wizards like elminister as well, so that's two people he's bragged about knowing at least, and the dsm states that narcissists inflate the value of the people closest to them (tav in this case), but devalue the credentials of those who disappoint them (mystra), 4 require excessive admiration, often fishing for compliments with great charm = announcing to all companions that he had a thing with a goddess, showing off his intelligence and magical skill at camp superfluously with tav, 5 entitlement to special treatment = why does he deserve mystra to lead him to the forbidden realm and be given godlike power when no other mortal is given this privilege? Thats 5 criteria already, so technically Gale is a narcissist. And I'm sorry, really I am. It's not your fault if you didn't know. I think people just see a bookish guy like that and assume he's a nice guy, based on stereotypes. Fatal mistake.
I remember seeing another clip of the ending if you play as Gale, and he's giving the crown to Mystra. There's an option to tell her you want to be together again but if you choose that, Mystra says they probably will be again in the future. Great so that means that Mystra does infact intend to return to Gale someday? And how do you think that's likely to end? Given what a simp he was for her he'd probably jump at the chance (if that guy called him "mystra's lapdog"). He may not cheat on tav or whatever if tav was there but he sure would leave tav so as to not be seeing two people at once (since he's not into that and all). Best case even if he does choose tav over Mystra at that point, Mystra is an all powerful goddess and the best mage in the whole universe or something. You don't think she would use it to charm the man she wants to be with and change his mind for her convenience if she could? Or even better case lets say she doesn't do that for some reason (but y'all think she's the devil and that everything evil in this world is her fault so by your logic why wouldn't she? But hypothetically even if she didn't let's say), tav has to constantly look over his/her/their shoulder. Forever worried about how they compare, and whether Gale would have rather been with the goddess if only he could. Wondering when he's finally gonna leave. When Mystra finally comes back to claim him for herself. Never a moment's peace. What a life to lead.
ma’am it’s a video game
@redvintner1094 don't worry so much I'm well aware of that. But realistically speaking...
are u ok
Bro there is no way you armchair diagnosed Gale with NPD lmao He doesn't fit the criteria
did you just armchair diagnose a video game character with narcissism because you don’t like him 😭
