Ok so I've barely played this game so far, I'm only up to the Blighted Village. But I heard this guy is an annoying as fuck Redditor but so far he's just been a lovable dork. Does he get worse or something?

Honestly having Moss from The IT Crowd in my party is a breath of fresh air considering the other party members consist of an angry green fascist, a goblin racist, a foppish dandy who immediately tried to cut my throat, and someone called Shadow Fart.

I heard he was more obnoxious before patches. Do tell.

Edit: Oh and Wyll is there too I guess. I unironically forgot he existed lmao

I've only played about 8 hours of bg3 because my laptop sucks, but I completely missed Gale lol. I failed the check to pull him out of the portal and now he's just... Gone. Idk where the fuck he is.

It's fine with me though, I have Shadowheart and Astarion and I'm basic and attracted to them

I will admit, a part of me likes Astarion even though I know he's a manipulative, self serving shit.

I don't know enough about Shadowheart to judge her

I like Astarion because he's a manipulative, self serving shit. I let him drink my character's blood until they died just because I didn't want to say no to him lol

All I know about Shadowheart is that she's pretty and nice and gets white hair later in the game, and that's enough for me to like her

All the stress got to her deeper-sadness

They all have layers - it's pretty fun

I had him in my party the first go 'round before they patched him to be less pushy about entering a relationship. But even now he's a bit of a twat especially if you play either a wizard or a sorcerer where he's frequently talking down to you despite not actually being any better at the whole magic thing. There's one conversation in act 2 earns him a permanent place on the bench in my opinion. And the only reason he gets that is because:

spoilers for the climax of the game

If you have him in the party, didn't use any tadpole powers (including tadpole dialogue skill checks) or assimilate any tadpoles, and freed Orpheus, you can avoid having to turn any party member into a mindflayer and skip the last boss fight by having Gale climb onto the nether brain and blow himself up.
