I started a gale origin run the other week and its a lot of fun to get his main POV on things but even funnier to romance astarion with his blood gimmick
My favorite thing about Gale origin is that Tara will ONLY talk to Gale. When another companion comes up to her she is irritated and pretends she’s a normal cat.
Tara speaking to origin Gale and giving kitty scritches
It's rare that I critique bg3 but I do feel like the sussur blooms not having a massive impact on Gale's orb was a missed opportunity. Gimme the orb freaking out bc suddenly there is no weave for it to feed off of, gimme Gale in more pain than normal because of the pure Karsite weave sitting in his chest with only his life as fuel. Gimme a ticking timer until the orb explodes unless Gale gets far enough away from the blooms.
I really enjoy that even in Gale origin, if Gale offers to take the Necromancy of Thay, Astarion still tells him he's not allowed to eat it lmao 😭
Also as a side note, Gale looks GOOD in Minthara's camp outfit. It's like it was perfectly made for him. The orb fits right in the center so perfectly.
So I recently started a Gale origin run. And what I did NOT expect was day 1, Tara the Tressym showing up saying "your beard looks like shit, gods there is no hope for you. You're mother and I are worried sick. You haven't eaten enough. And you're still single???" And now I'm playing just for her
