Having fun with the photo mode, although the pic looks a bit dull? not sure. Could be my monitor or some sort of internal glitch

Here's the only character I have in bg3 to have completed the game, Mergal Osim Flamei. A scholarly no-nonesense sorcerer dragonborn who became a cleric of mystra, falling in love with magic at a very young age, deciding to become and abjurer later on (wow, so many magic classes, his build is a wreck lol)

!!Spoilers beyond this point!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fell in love with gale, but had to hammer in that "No, you cannot blow yourself up, and expect everything to be fixed." or "No, gale, you shouldn't persue godhood and abandon your newfound friends and family". Essentially he was the therapist of the group. Astarion warmed up *eventually* but god dayum did it take work. He asks questions alot, like, every chance he gets. He's a curious lil bugger. However, he *did* accept the tadpole from empy, as Mergal unfortunately has a complex of "If I don't accept it, someone else might." in the end he turns into a mindflayer to spare orpheus and his new friends the same fate.

His playstyle was a tank, Abjuration wizard stacking with buffs, sanctuary and other spells made him untouchable, this unfortunately meant that his other squisher teammates took the brunt of attacks, as enemies learnt quickly that attacking mergal was of no use. This was my first character, so builds n strategy in terms of bg3 was still pretty new to me. This was on the normal difficulty though, so I wasn't punished for making a crappy build. This was like, back in patch 1 or 2, (ancient times) so I might redo Mergal and see if I choose any different or make a different build! It would also mean I can get some shnaazy photos of him, as I deleted his previous saves thinking I was gonna start over but *whoops!* nevermind! goodbye to previous acts!

Gonna post more, though this is about the only good photos of mergal. would love to see ya'lls tavs that beat the game!
