Meet Gale: A Powerful Human Wizard in BG3
Gale can be first encountered at the Roadside Cliffs Waypoint teleporter. As a wizard, he possesses basic spells that inflict fire, lightning, and thunder damage, among others. As you progress, you can find upgrades for these spells or even explore different elements. By giving Gale a subclass, you can further expand his spell arsenal and explore different types of abilities.
What Happens if You Choose Not to Recruit Gale
Gale is an intriguing character due to his affliction, which has the potential to bring about the end of the world if he is not given magical items to sustain him. If you decide not to recruit Gale, don’t worry – he won’t explode. In fact, you won’t see him at all throughout the game. He will simply retreat back into his stone portal and disappear. Should you choose to pull him out and then decide not to travel with him, he will remain in the same spot for Act 1, waiting for further interaction. However, if you never interact with his portal, it will remain there, with his hand reaching out in desperation for your involvement.
It is likely that your opportunity to interact with Gale if you choose not to recruit him will vanish after Act 1. While most party members have their own questlines, they are not necessarily essential to the main story and can be considered expendable. Hence, if you choose not to recruit them, they will likely go their separate ways and you will not hear from them again.
Although Gale’s involvement in the potential endgame and his tendency to become a destructive force make him unique, there are other options available to address the main issue in the game. So, if you decide that Gale doesn’t fit in your party, you can safely leave him behind. Just keep in mind that you might not have another chance to recruit him if you change your mind later on.
Romancing Gale in BG3
Similar to other characters in the game, Gale can be a potential romance option. To increase his approval, prioritize dialogue options that align with morals and heroism. Acting with the interests and safety of others in mind will quickly earn his favor. Throughout the story, you will unlock dialogue options that allow you to further gain his approval based on your chosen responses.
If you’re an avid player of Baldur’s Gate 3, you won’t want to miss out on the opportunity to spark a meaningful relationship with Gale. In Act 1 of the game, keep kindness and heroism at the forefront of your decisions, and you’ll be rewarded with a magical evening at camp during the Tiefling refugee party, after rescuing Halsin. Express your interest in the magical experience, and Gale will ensure you have a delightful time together.
To further deepen your connection with Gale, you’ll need to progress his companion quest. This involves providing him with up to three magical items when he requests them. As Act 2 begins, you’ll have the chance to meet Elminster. Extend an invitation for him to join your camp and engage in a conversation that will stabilize Gale’s orb and advance his quest. At a later point, likely towards the end of Act 2, you’ll encounter a mirror image projection of Gale at your camp. Follow it and you’ll discover Gale awaiting you in a beautiful meadow—a perfect moment for your relationship to flourish.
