    The fact that the spell said “to think I believed becoming a god was worth losing all this” genuinely makes it sound like Gale’s own spell is judging him, which is kind of hilarious in a sad way

      I had a projection of Gale tell me that he only had parts of original Gale's memories, and only what was necessary for its task. It was right before his last night alive scene. So makes sense why projection Gale questions, because he doesn't have that memory.

      The projection spell has gales thoughts, feelings, and memories. It's simply bound to a set task. So in a way the spell is him judging himself.

    Little word about why this scene is so heartbreaking, and it's a narrative reason, every line he says as a projection is distant from any emotion you feel as a player, he is cheerful as he gives you his final words, very impersonal, and very him to make a projection with his voice and appearance and happily say to you that no he isn't Gale, Gale is gone. And so asking you if you need anything before disapearing forever, you go to hug him cause hells the emotions, and Larian goes full on breaking your heart :
    1- You can't hug him, he is immaterial, just an illusion
    2- The illusion shows the true feelings of Gale, and makes you feel is if it is him just in front of you
    3- He disapears forever before you can say goodbye, making you witness him dying a second time and feel like you waisted your last interaction with him by hugging the air. No respite, no releif, only the crushing emptiness and remorse of having lost him forever.

      Kind of cherry picking there. In this case silence works better (and would have been the response even if the PC was voiced), that doesn't change that most of the game would benefit from letting us choose the general response / tone, and let the character speak. The voiceless protagonist is an outdated tradition, now that games let the player choose how the PC reacts. That was the only reason the silent protagonist started, to allow the player to decide how what was happening made their character feel, not because it's better.

      My Dark Urge was a Half-Elf Selûnite (2 level Cleric dip) Wizard named Telendas, and he fought tooth and nail against his worse self, defying Bhaal just as Shadowheart defied Shar. He let Gale choose to sacrifice himself to solo the netherbrain so that nobody would have to undergo ceremorphosis and be made ghaik. In honor of his noble sacrifice, Telendas and Shadowheart named their first son Gale.

    Gale might regret Godhood as he would lose his humanity but love for his partner. Astarion will resent you for not stopping him from Ascending. Karlach will regret dying if she didn't know about the chance of the schematics. Character development like this.. enough for tears to shed from my eyes... Music, the lines, the stoicism of an automated voice turning to sincere emotions at the last line.. it's perfect.
