From now on, I'm just going to assume that anyone who calls Gale any variation of "pompous", "arrogant", "annoying", "a jerk", or anything to that effect, and talks at length about how they hate him and/or have killed him, is just bellyaching and being a baby over them not understanding his speech. That's right, at this point I'm ascribing a literal skill issue to being wrong about a fictional character.

Aww, poor baby, did the Mean Wizard hurt your tiny, smooth widdle brain by saying "adroit"? Did his correct use of "foeti", the latinate plural of "foetus", frighten you? Aww, I'm so sowwy. That must be so tough for you, being so scared of fun words and the general concept of whimsy. I can't hear you over myself tongue-kissing the pretty man with the calf-eyes and the slutty waist.

Alright. So. I'm not making this triangle conclusion because I like triangles

But because it's the only. the only conclusion I could make

For the morning after. After noticing Babe-

YOU'D THINK it'd go that Lae'zel and friends would never find out because even though I wanted to tell Lae'zel, A SHAME IT DIDN"T GIVE ME THE OPTION. A SHAME THE GAME WANTED ME TO KEEP THIS A DANG SECRET FROM MY TEAM AND JUST HAVE SOME SIMPLE-ASS INTERNAL CONFLICT.

But ohnononono, this magical patch 0 playthrough had other plans. Because for some reason. Babe was talking like we were in ACT 1 again. Babe became a killer coconut again

Babe knew. BABE KNEW ABOUT LAST NIGHT. AND BABE WAS CRANKY (understandably so of course)

And yet. Babe was also still allowing kisses. so. not. not OVER. BABE STILL LOVED THIS IDIOT HALF-ORC.

So. I could only conclude this. This is why.

and totally not because apparently it was a glitch (that they now fixed) all along pff

SO. Maybe just. This once. With this Tav. This playthrough. A Godsdamn Love Triangle friggin' happened alfdjkkasdj

Bonus (Because Greygold had to tell somebody):

[ilikedetectives]

This tells me that Minthara loves telling jokes but you need to ask her to because she's timid and Jaheira enjoys corny jokes.

[notsohappynotsosad]

[bear-bear-bear-bear-bear]

jaheira please im trying to have a serious conversation

[wizardsimper]

Honestly my favourite parts of bg3 are watching Aylin unleash visceral rage on men who've wronged her

[atrueneutral]

Now I'm just imagining Raphael meeting Warlock Tav's Archfey patron and it being like a 'meeting the in-laws' sort of thing, with the Archfey wanting to know if Raphael is worthy of being the patron for 'his Tavy' and demanding that Raphael prove himself. 50/50 shot if Raphael ends up getting roped into some fey shenanigans in the process of getting what he wants or if he manages to work something out that allows him to leave with his dignity (mostly) unscathed.

Oak Father preserve him indeed.

Also Kaerlyn is so smol next to him. I cannot.

[sparrowposting]

I've never seen/read the last unicorn but everyone making parallels with Astarion and why he's so mean, esp in act one, and disapproves of the pc doing any sort of heroic actions. You're doing the Lord's work.

Smthn smthn

And where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those innocent young maidens you always come to? How dare you! How dare you come to me now, when I am this!

[nekrosmos]

Finally managed to draw Spine, my evil Dark Urge Monk/Barbarian (He/They). Might backstab everyone and rule the world by Gortash's side ✌️​

[veilkeeper]

not to be durgetash brainpoisoned but Fel saying "you are wrong to consider another your equal" in the scene in act 2 when durge is going to kill their LI.... i wonder if thats the first time he's said that to them.

[jeeaark]

if greygold did sided with the emperor during the confrontation between them and orpheus and failed to convince lae'zel to stand down, forced to fight her, how would greygold feel? would they come to resent the emperor after everything?

What a delightfully pain-inducing question~ Greygold likes to think they're less taking sides and more like- Refereeing. Trying to de-escalate the murder vibes in the room. And even though the dramatic music would be ramped up to an 11, Greygold would be just as delusionally optimistic fighting Lae'zel as they were fighting The Emperor. At least this time, they have more AC than a tarrasque so-

Greyg can hold their ground longer this time.

This half-orc has got enough wisdom to understand this is a tough decision for Lae'zel. It's neither of their faults for sticking to their values, friendship and duty and what not, and Greygold only hopes Lae'zel won't hold it against them if they both survive this.

Besides never fighting babe because they love her, wearing the share-pain lover's rings would also have Lae'zel insta-win if Greygold actually fought back.

Anyway the thing that probably would've actually broken Greygold is if they were able to escape the dragons' mass destruction of Baldur's Gate via a particularly last-minute planeshifting squid, but not their friends. But resent the squid? Nah. I think they'd only resent themselves for not being strong enough to keep all their friends alive. BUT ANYWAY THIS REALITY IS WHAT GREYGOLD THINKS EMPS ASSUMED WOULD'VE HAPPENED. Greygold's own counterargument to that theory:

M.A.D Lad
