I feel sorry for Gale, the wizarding prodigy of Baldur’s Gate 3.
But it’s notentirelyhis fault.
He is the only companion I see where people don’t really talk about the deeper issues.
Everyone just seems to take him at face value of a wizard with delusions of grandeur.
I mean, this man literally dated a god.
You’re never going to be on an equal footing with a god.
The dynamic between Gale and Mystra, the Mother of all Magic, is kind of icky.
The saddest part is Gale talks as if all of this isnormalin relationships.
Not being equals, being taken advantage of, and manipulated.
He speaks so calmly and indifferently to what he’s experienced.
This is the mark Mystra left on him.
He believed he had to have more to keep her.
Yes, Gale wants the Crown of Karsus for power, but he doesn’t want it for evil.
When I realized what Gale’s story was about, it hit me like a sack of bricks.
We can be content with justbeing.
We don’t need to prove ourselves a god just being here, alive, is enough.
“But I was wrong.
You showed me just how much I have to live for.”
