“When you wake, it will be back at our camp, back in our small, dirty, bloody patch of existence. But stay with me now. There are endless worlds out there. Countless ways to declare love. Infinite ways to express it. Too much for one night… but we shall try.” My favorite quote from this entire game. It feels so melancholic, yet so heartfelt.
I like that Gale's romance ties into his story well. If you aren't romancing him, it plays out like a close friend admitting their fears to someone else and you get to choose to be there to support him platonically. It's great. It is such a great way to add nuance to relationships. A lover could be someone you feel a spark for, or it could be a best friend.
I checked on someone else's playthrough that the mc sacrificed themselves and became a mind fleyer and Gale still asks you to marry him and to go to waterdeep with him while the others (Spoiler) just tell you to hide from society while they do what they desire. Gale IS the perfect bachelor.
I personally find it infinitely cringy for some reason!? Idk it's like worse than the worst raunchy porn to me and I can scarcely look at the screen haha
In my first playthrough I was not trying to romance Gale, but after he confronted me and made me choose between him and Astarion I still felt awful rejecting him 😢 Next playthrough, I'm coming for you Gale ❤ Also, I love that Gale is a verified smut reader 😂
Same 😂 He suddenly confessed his love for me after a fight, he showed me the Northern Lights but as 'friends' I thought, then got really hurt because I chose Astarion & Halsin... My heart just broke 😢 Now I'm on my 2nd run making things better for this sweet dorky wizard
@@sarahn2036 The game characters kinda has a VERY blurry line between friends and romance and it is rather annoying imo. Im romancing Gale and we are official now but I am so terrified to ask about someone else’s love interest because he might threaten himself with his chest nuke
All the Astarion craze made me think oh maybe he's the best romanceable companion but Gale has my heart. He got that whole wizard rizz with that illusion scene
What I personally prefer about Gale is that if you romance him his feelings for you are true. On my Astarion playthrough he didn't even like me all that much for most of the game, but got with my character because he thought it would be to his advantage.
same! i romanced astarion my first play through, walked gale romance play throughs and started over and will now be choosing him every time! he’s so sweet and everything you could want in a partner tbh!
Spent my whole playthrough gassing this guy up only for him to dry dump me at the end... prob the most realistic romance I've experienced in a game lmao
i’m sorry but the illusion sex thing is so funny to me i couldn’t take it seriously, but still gale is such the gentlemen that I want. 😭😭 I want him now more than ever
what I really like about this is that for gale, everything is magic. Not just a tool, not just spells. Magic is an art, every art in one, a way of expression. That gale is unseparable from magic. That gale is magic.
The first time I did gales romance and I got to the epilogue where he proposes, I genuinely cried and covered my face like he was actually proposing to ME lmao the delulu is strong and he’s my real husband (it’s canon)
I never cared for Gale until recently. His nerdiness and just his goodness is very likable. Him being a wizard his romance scenes are truly one of a kind, VERY magical. I was originally gonna make my 4th playthrough as Durge with Astarion and be super evil. But I guess it’s time again to go with a good route and be with Gale instead to experience the possibilities with him romanced
Gale was my romance option for my first playthrough, and I was surprised to find that there wasn't any nudity in any of his romance scenes. Honestly surprised but it was nice. But alas, it was merely my poor decision making that caused this.
Same. I was hoping he would propose, but he was like, "Nope, off to become a god! How dare you try to smother my ambitions, but if you change your mind, you can be my Champion." Whyyyyyy
A good written character to me is one that is likable but has faults. I can't think of a character that fits that bill more then Gale. He's definitely a very fleshed out character compared to the others.
@@DoffyDoggsounds like someone hasn’t finished the game if they think karlach is one-dimensional. She’s one of my favorite characters and she’s suffering through so much and still keeps a smile on her face but when she finally breaks it’s so heartbreaking to watch
@@DoffyDogg d Karlach's fault is that she tries to be artificallly optimistic to cope with all the shit in her life. Wyll's fault is that he is too willing to give himself up for others. You not appreciating them is irrelevant to the subject.
What I love is that you can tell what’s happening by the song that happens. ‘I want to live’ with important player moments, I just noticed Raphael’s theme plays every time he’s there. And of course ‘The Song of Balduran’ when you see the Emperor in mind flayer form the first time. It’s always so subtle
Hold up! He proposes? What gives, I've missed all this romancing him at my first playthrough! ToT But it was cute that he cared for my special diet as a mindflayer.
I noticed you didn’t get the first scene where he was conjuring an image of Mystra and when you approach him he shows you how to perform magic. You get the opportunity there to tell him you like him and he’ll tell you that he feels the same.
How is it the first scene? I had it after the party in Druid’s grove and I romanced Astarion not Gale. Yet a few days later that Mistra projection scene triggered at night 🤔
Picked Gale for my second playthrough (because I missed him on my first playthrough. Was too weak to pull him out of the portal) and I think I actually like him better than Astarion (romance on my first playthrough).
I choose Gale in my first playthrough and I loved it, supporting his ambition all the way (because well, this is what you do - support your significant person, don't you?) but it every time it seems... beautiful in words and odd in feeling. And only now, after re-watching all scenes, I realize why it felt odd: all his claims aren't about the godhood and better for mortals, it's about acceptance of himself, and he can do it only if he will be perfect, which is, sadly, impossible. He desperatly needs to be accepted by his partner, be equal, but he deny the thought that he is perfect for Tav, he don't belive in it. So he continues to push his agenga over and over again, just as Astarion, who doesn't belive that he is strong enough for his future as the way as he is. They has so different lives and yet struggle with same problem - not love themselves enough and don't belive that they deserve to be loved as they are
This man has books. You may bet I will move in and get all happy there. I still have to play the game, but once I saw his rooms in waterdeep... it is not even a choice anymore. I adore him. So much... And that song!
Poor Gale was groomed by Mystra from a very young age (she likes to enjoy young spellcasters), no wonder being dumped by the Goddess of Magic did a number on him and he's still obsessed when we meet him.
I wanted to see what it would be like to choose without the illusions and I appreciate the game places both scenes on equal footing. Without illusions, it allows Tav to experience Gale as he is and although he is probably put of practice, it does not matter because they simply enjoy Gale in any shape or form. With the illusions, it allows Gale to make up for the experience through illusions. To try and make Tav feels as amazing as Gale makes him feel, to show how much they mean to him. Both versions are sweet but I really appreciate is how they're different flavors of joy to experience.
why does karlach have to die for this? I've read quite a few times that they kill some specific stories. when do i have to kill them? I just played the game completely without her story and started from scratch.
@@Missklicky it’s because she’s the one that is stuck between a rock and a hard place No matter what you do, she’s either gonna burn cause of the engine or she will get sent back to her “boss” and suffer (the latter being one of the options to keep her alive)
I love both him and Astarion so much. The first time I played through I had a high approval with him on accident and I just went with it! Don’t regret it
how do you even get his romance to trigger??? i have his approval all the way up but none of these scenes ever happened and then he was like "dang we missed our chance. sorry!" ????????
He will want to show you a magic trick during the act 1 party - don't have any flings with others. If you had scenes with others in theory you should be able to to say you prefer to spend the night with him but if you don't see the option it might be bugged for you.
Funny thing is: One time before Moonrise Tower the love scene started, then i had to reload, because my co-op buddy wanted to do something differently. After that, the scene never came back and now we are in act 3 and apparently Gale and my character have missed their chance... This game is bugged as shit.
I havent played this game because turn based games arent really my thing but the cutscenes and the romances look great! Also this Gale character is hot lol
Same, I kept on long resting when I didn’t need to because I wanted to progress my romance with him but he never triggered and I had to finish the game unromanced T_T
Yoo, does anyone know if choosing to imagine nothing during the weave scene will still trigger Gale’s romance in later acts? I didn’t know it was that important, and my character is supposed to be closed off, so it felt waaay too soon for her to imagine romantic things with Gale. Now I’m scared it won’t trigger T-T
@@emmademma4846 Thank you, you’ve given me hope! I’m still before Moonrise Towers, but I’m slowly getting there, here’s to hoping that Gale will approach me 🤞
@@emmademma4846 It was a hard choice between Gale and Astarion, but Gale’s approval grew so fast for me I decided to roll with it. Next playthrough Astarion won’t know what hit him tho 😏
@@ehhmeh4869sorry to butt in but I initially got bg3 for Astarion and then Gale hit me with the "Hello! I'm Gale from Waterdeep 😁" and I just couldn't resist.
@@cabbageleon4914 It was a love-hate relationship for me, as at first he dissed my Druid character, asking if she knew any magic, and when she replied “Yup, I’m a Druid” he said he meant *real* magic or something along these lines. I almost rage killed him 😭 But then he was nerdy enough and too articulate for his own good, and somehow slithered through my defences, though my snarky character made fun of him a few times, because *revenge*, of course 👹
I feel a bit robbed that you get a so much tamer love scene when you tell Gale you just want him. I mean, obviously I don't expect all the weave and see-through multiple people stuff, but you don't even get any decent heavy petting, just a kiss, lean down on the bed and fade to black, while you get to see more of the actual lovemaking in the "illusion" version. He even shares more of who he is as a person in the "illusion" version, even though you've literally told Gale you want him for himself to trigger the other version. It feels a bit like you're punished for the second choice. F**ck it, next time I'm just going to go the full goddess experience, screw your humanity, Gale. 😂😂
Gale definitely is my favorite lover in this game and the romances are beautiful a boyfriend like this would be a unicorn in real life, it be beautiful to be with ♡
Seriously my game must be glitched because I convinced him not to pursue the crown of karsus like five times and he ended up just breaking up with me after the game was over and said that I was holding back his ambitions.... This is after I turned down sex with like several other people throughout the entire game because I wanted to see what end game would be like with him. I guess I can live vicariously through your game save, but this has to be a glitch or something. I already have trust issues, fitting he romances me and will break up if you sleep with anyone else but then leaves the second you disagree with him
I think I ruined my romance with him... I failed a dice roll during the Weave channeling interaction and it got cut short. I had the first interaction in this video but he didn't confess we just watched the stars
I am on my 2nd playthrough and I thought I did everything correct to romance Gale, the relationship with him is maxed but when I got to act 2 he never confessed but I did get the scene where MC and him just look at the stars. I am so confused I turned down Astarion Wyll and Laezel for him but now I'm just upset. Was there a choice I should have made?? I am just so confused, help anyone?
Larian is trying to fix his bugged romance with all the new patches, but it's overcorrecting things, so there's problems with his cutscenes not triggering or him acting standoffish despite having max approval. I don't think there's any way to fix it except to wait for Patch 4/ future patches- it's so unfortunate bc Gale's such a great character but he's been getting sabotaged since Day 1 :(
@@beccazach thank you for the heads up on this!! I just finished my first playthrough and thought about choosing Gale for my next run, but def don't want to do that if all of his stuff is bugged
@@fionnah4743 Np! Idk if it'll ever be completely fixed, but apparently not everyone gets that bug and he's still great- but waiting it out sounds like a good idea too.
I’ll admit Gale wasn’t who I was after…actually none of my first 4 were, I think I actually swore by accident when I triggered the romance around my son. All he could do was laugh and say I know who you really wanted. Turned out I really liked him.
@@Avalene79which option did you pick? If you tell him you just want to be with him as Gale and don’t care about becoming a god with him and getting the crown he should end up asking you to marry him and move to waterdeep with him
@@DSJWIX I thought I did that, but I honestly don't remember anymore. I basically picked any option that would build or strengthen our relationship. I wonder if I forgot to do something in one of the Acts before progressing. No idea.
I'm super grossed out by the fact he still worships her. But I'm starting to come to terms with that. I can't avoid thid guy forever. Like he can't avoid the magic forever. I'm marry him but I won't be happy about who is colleague is...
Someone lend me your help! Im not far into the game, but he said he will give the crown to Mystra. The crown that baby Raphael wants too i guess... Is there a way to save and marry Gale but give the crown to Raphael?
I feel bad for outright refusing Gale's invitation to meet in private, but I really REALLY do not want to have a romantic moment with him. I feel like I need to use all of my bardic charisma to keep him away. I want to be there for him as a friend, but ONLY as a friend. I don't know, maybe if I picked the right dialogue option nothing would happen, but it all feels so very awkward.
I got the Waterdeep scene the first time i played through as a normal character. But im nearing the end of my resist the Durge run romancing him, I already got boat and Mystra scene, and i never got the Waterdeep scene. I dont remember where I was when it triggered before.. so now im wondering if the Durge doesnt get to have that scene...
One thing that could have made the romances even better, would be if all the male characters were not gay. For some reason Karlach, Minthara, Laezel and Shadowheart can romance both sexes. It is so obvious how flamboyant both Gale and Astarion behave, they really have too much of a gay vibe, even wyll is too feminine.
Can you please explain me... I have some short version of romance scene from act 2 in the weave. There is no Gake voice, it's a few lines from narrator and the scene of "blue shapes" is extremely short... I can't understand why.
Hi! How don You trigger this cene? Cause I think my game buged. What the moment or what the event this happened? Can you help me? Sorry my bad English. Bye :3
Astarion would be absolutely pissed if he knew that Gale could have conjured a bed this whole time xD
I'm sorry, he can conjure a bed but we keep sleeping on the ground? Gale, you've got some explaining to do!
The bed must require concentration, and that breaks when he long rests?
@@goodoljotaro12 now I picture it disappearing in the middle of a more passionate moment 😂 either way not a great look for Gale 😅

That and you've gotta steal a book for that boat-in-another-plane scene.
His voice messages are hilarious 😂 he's my bae
I liked gale but his obsession with mystra early on threw me off and romaced astarion instead 😂 didnt know he was this romantic
Bear with him for a bit, that divine groomer left him a big aftermath for sure.
i never had the second scene, the one in the boat... it never triggered for me though his approval was maxed lmao
You gotta yoinka the book, and then go back to camp for a long rest before going to have him meet with Mystra at the shrine.
The best part is when e did that he knew minstra could see him 💀
Okay maybe you gale girlies were onto something
So well written. My rizzard man.
Yoo, does anyone know if choosing to imagine nothing during the weave scene will still trigger Gale’s romance in later acts? I didn’t know it was that important, and my character is supposed to be closed off, so it felt waaay too soon for her to imagine romantic things with Gale. Now I’m scared it won’t trigger T-T
It still triggered for me pretty early on in Act 2 (I'm romancing Astarion but wanted to let Gale down more easily lol)
@@emmademma4846 Thank you, you’ve given me hope! I’m still before Moonrise Towers, but I’m slowly getting there, here’s to hoping that Gale will approach me 🤞
@@emmademma4846 It was a hard choice between Gale and Astarion, but Gale’s approval grew so fast for me I decided to roll with it. Next playthrough Astarion won’t know what hit him tho 😏
@@ehhmeh4869sorry to butt in but I initially got bg3 for Astarion and then Gale hit me with the "Hello! I'm Gale from Waterdeep 😁" and I just couldn't resist.
@@cabbageleon4914 It was a love-hate relationship for me, as at first he dissed my Druid character, asking if she knew any magic, and when she replied “Yup, I’m a Druid” he said he meant *real* magic or something along these lines.
I almost rage killed him 😭
But then he was nerdy enough and too articulate for his own good, and somehow slithered through my defences, though my snarky character made fun of him a few times, because *revenge*, of course 👹
I feel a bit robbed that you get a so much tamer love scene when you tell Gale you just want him. I mean, obviously I don't expect all the weave and see-through multiple people stuff, but you don't even get any decent heavy petting, just a kiss, lean down on the bed and fade to black, while you get to see more of the actual lovemaking in the "illusion" version. He even shares more of who he is as a person in the "illusion" version, even though you've literally told Gale you want him for himself to trigger the other version. It feels a bit like you're punished for the second choice. F**ck it, next time I'm just going to go the full goddess experience, screw your humanity, Gale. 😂😂
Gale definitely is my favorite lover in this game and the romances are beautiful a boyfriend like this would be a unicorn in real life, it be beautiful to be with ♡
But what amazing armor is she wearing
Seriously my game must be glitched because I convinced him not to pursue the crown of karsus like five times and he ended up just breaking up with me after the game was over and said that I was holding back his ambitions.... This is after I turned down sex with like several other people throughout the entire game because I wanted to see what end game would be like with him. I guess I can live vicariously through your game save, but this has to be a glitch or something. I already have trust issues, fitting he romances me and will break up if you sleep with anyone else but then leaves the second you disagree with him
THIS. I was so heartbroken.
I think i’m going to cry
I think I ruined my romance with him... I failed a dice roll during the Weave channeling interaction and it got cut short. I had the first interaction in this video but he didn't confess we just watched the stars
Does anyone know the name of the song when gale conjures water deep it’s so pretty but I can’t find it anywhere!!
ruclips.net/video/LlwbAtGqzmA/видео.html&ab_channel=BorislavSlavov
Wash my pain away, for the flute one i cant find it TT
So wait he could conjure things the fuck we sleeping on the ground for? Gaaaale explain lol😂😂
Concentration and allat.
I am on my 2nd playthrough and I thought I did everything correct to romance Gale, the relationship with him is maxed but when I got to act 2 he never confessed but I did get the scene where MC and him just look at the stars. I am so confused I turned down Astarion Wyll and Laezel for him but now I'm just upset. Was there a choice I should have made?? I am just so confused, help anyone?
Larian is trying to fix his bugged romance with all the new patches, but it's overcorrecting things, so there's problems with his cutscenes not triggering or him acting standoffish despite having max approval. I don't think there's any way to fix it except to wait for Patch 4/ future patches- it's so unfortunate bc Gale's such a great character but he's been getting sabotaged since Day 1 :(
@@beccazach thank you for the heads up on this!! I just finished my first playthrough and thought about choosing Gale for my next run, but def don't want to do that if all of his stuff is bugged
@@fionnah4743 Np! Idk if it'll ever be completely fixed, but apparently not everyone gets that bug and he's still great- but waiting it out sounds like a good idea too.
You must’ve pickpocketed too much gurl. Jk i hope he opens up to you soon
I want two gales, too :-(
I’ll admit Gale wasn’t who I was after…actually none of my first 4 were, I think I actually swore by accident when I triggered the romance around my son. All he could do was laugh and say I know who you really wanted. Turned out I really liked him.
Gale your romance seeing…reminds me of someone *looks at geralt screwing in clouds*
Anyone else get litttle mermaid vibes on the boat scene
She is from the Clay Family indeed. Calioppe? XD
I was hoping to find a comment mentioning cad or the clays haha
I literally didn't have the last 2 romance scenes triggered for me on my character that romanced him and I'm so fucking sad about it
I didn't get the last one and at the end, he left me. WTF
@@Avalene79 SAME. I WAS DISTRAUGHT.
@@Avalene79which option did you pick? If you tell him you just want to be with him as Gale and don’t care about becoming a god with him and getting the crown he should end up asking you to marry him and move to waterdeep with him
@@DSJWIX I thought I did that, but I honestly don't remember anymore. I basically picked any option that would build or strengthen our relationship. I wonder if I forgot to do something in one of the Acts before progressing. No idea.
Is your character an elf or a drow? She’s so cute!!!
I think she’s half drow
wow what the heck is didnt get that illusion scene bc i immediately said i want the man in front of me not the illusion 😭😭
This is so good but god damn the clothes for our character is just the ugliest💀💀
I want his cosy pajamas
I'm super grossed out by the fact he still worships her. But I'm starting to come to terms with that. I can't avoid thid guy forever. Like he can't avoid the magic forever. I'm marry him but I won't be happy about who is colleague is...
Someone lend me your help! Im not far into the game, but he said he will give the crown to Mystra. The crown that baby Raphael wants too i guess... Is there a way to save and marry Gale but give the crown to Raphael?
you do NOT want to give the crown to Raphael believe me
@@Vaisra_ oh I do, I want to give the whole world to that man :v
@@notgojo491 :D well jdlgkskf hope he appreciates and remembers your favour when the time comes i guess
Good luck
@@Vaisra_ thank you, i honestly dont care if he kills me, as long as hes a happy little bat its fine for me
@@notgojo491 I am so glad I'm not alone in this lmao
I feel bad for outright refusing Gale's invitation to meet in private, but I really REALLY do not want to have a romantic moment with him. I feel like I need to use all of my bardic charisma to keep him away. I want to be there for him as a friend, but ONLY as a friend. I don't know, maybe if I picked the right dialogue option nothing would happen, but it all feels so very awkward.
You can watch the stars with him as just friends!
I need him religiously
Currently romancing Gale after having romanced Astarion- twice.
And I’m realizing Astarion is kinda mean if you aren’t giving him your attention 😂😂
Beautiful
I got the Waterdeep scene the first time i played through as a normal character. But im nearing the end of my resist the Durge run romancing him, I already got boat and Mystra scene, and i never got the Waterdeep scene. I dont remember where I was when it triggered before.. so now im wondering if the Durge doesnt get to have that scene...
9:41 am I the only one who got Ghost vibes? 😢
i'm sorry but just a random canopy bed in the middle of the woods makes me fucking lose it
If this was my last night on earth, I 100% would want to declare my love to the one I like
One thing that could have made the romances even better, would be if all the male characters were not gay. For some reason Karlach, Minthara, Laezel and Shadowheart can romance both sexes. It is so obvious how flamboyant both Gale and Astarion behave, they really have too much of a gay vibe, even wyll is too feminine.
Christ bless you, so wholesome
How does your character look so old and young at the same time? lol
Can you please explain me... I have some short version of romance scene from act 2 in the weave. There is no Gake voice, it's a few lines from narrator and the scene of "blue shapes" is extremely short... I can't understand why.
Nghaaaaa i messed up to romance him this playthrough but gooodddsss next one im gonna hit that soft well spoken deep voiced sexy magician😫
Do you know if it's possible to marry him without having Karlach in my camp?:(
I don't think having karlach matters. Mine died in the end and I got this scene.
@@NoOneReallySpecial I read in some Reddit comments that the trigger to activate the marriage scene was her death
That's not true at all, I have her and married Gale.
Pretty sure you just have to get him to accept himself, not seek the crown, not seek godhood.
@@mintkit1064 Yes, after a while I completed the game without her and yes, he asked me to marry him, 3 months ago haha
I never got the boat scene 😭😭😭😭😭😭 im definitely romancing him. When so you get it? Im in act 3 i got the 2 others but not this one
It's after you get the Annals of Karsus at Sorcerous Sundries
I really like to romance him, but the stupid trophies is gonna lock you in romancing Karlach or Shadowheart.
I am still sad he made me choose between him and astartion. Now I have to play 2 playtroughs
Hi! How don You trigger this cene? Cause I think my game buged. What the moment or what the event this happened? Can you help me? Sorry my bad English. Bye :3
The cene in Act 3, I forgot to say XD
@@MariannaRamos-gk4oeit's easily missable, but it involves doing the wizard Lorrokoan's questline and going into some secret office to trigger it.
How do you get him to propose? My last playthrough I told him not to ascend yet when I killed the Nether brain, he just took off
