"What like a CHILD?!" and "You're not a loaf of bread to be divvied up at supper time!" will always be part of my top favourite Gale quotes. Of course, that includes "STOPLICKINTHEDAMNTHING!"
Tav: What would you say to adding another person to our relationship? All other romance options: Oh you mean Halsin? Gale: You mean like a child?!? He's so wholesome, I adore him.
this video made me realize I've been looking at Gale all wrong. I used to dislike him because he was pretentious, showy, and wowed with magic rather than wooing by being a person. Now I realize, he is a magic himbo filled with hubris and also an idiot (affectionate). I can finally see the light.
I think it's hilarious that you can basically be like "I WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU" throughout Act One and his response is basically "excellent, have a nice night! 🤓"
Idk why some people think Gale's reaction is not understandable? Even if we got so many romance options, just like Astarion and everyone else got their boundaries and feelings to protect, so does Gale. Some people are still "old-fashioned". Some people want to rely on soley one person and that is totally alright. Not everyone is open for poly, I couldn't do that too but I don't judge others for it :)
Agreed, but his bread loaf thing is just...off-putting for some reason. If he's not cool with it, he's not cool with it, but don't make it sound like I'm whoring myself out. Maybe it's the religious trauma and "used gum" analogies that give me a knee jerk reaction to that line.
@Elaan021 i sort of interpreted that line as Gale not wanting to objectivify tav. Like he thinks of sharing as a thing you do with an object. He therefore doesnt like the term sharing because he feels it dehumanized tav and he loves them. That was my interpretation at least.
@@Elaan021 hoi, when you asks him that, you ask for his opinion, gale told u that because in his perspective you're a person, a most cherished person, it's isn't hard to interpret that he sees you not as a thing and respect you. why you thought that line strikes you as he said that you're whoring yourself out..... Maybe, JUST MAYBE you kinda felt you are, but refuse to admit or accept it, you know it's bad but you can't help it something like that, so felt like you'll be fine as long as nobody mentions it, because you can't ignore it entirely by your own either
I think it's less that Gale isn't father material and more that he wasn't father material at that point in time (seeing as they were in the middle of trying to save the world; which isn't an ideal time to settle down and start a family). Besides, from what I heard, Tara (his Tressym) wants to be a grandmother - and seeing as she sees Gale as her kitten, well - like any mother who wants grandkids - you know she'd get on his case about providing her with grandkittens XD
@@LooneyClipse Seriously - the fact his immediate thought when asked about bringing a third into the relationship was starting a family means that thought has crossed his mind more than once by that point. (but, again - timing just means it isn't possible at the time).
2:30 lmao gale: anything i can do for you - consider it most enthusiastically done. tav: polyamory? 👀👀 gale: wait. nevermind- big "i would do anything for love but i won't do that" energy
He would do everything for Tav, it's just that he did not see THAT coming🤣 Even though, if my Gale could see all my reloading, he would know that I always try to cheat on him just to see his reaction 🤣
The funniest part about this isn't that he assumes you're talking about having kids and doesn't think it's a good idea. It's that he thinks it's a bad idea specifically because he doesn't think he's good enough and because their current lifestyle isn't stable, implying that he's otherwise already down to have kids with Tav despite not even being together for that long XD. Like, damn Gale I didn't realize you were that far gone on Tav
Ohhhh yes 😍 in my mind, after we go off to live happily ever after in Waterdeep, we have children and teach them to explode things. We have an army of mini-wizards. I love my himbo awkward-rizzard husband 😆
Not if you reject him outright, he ain't. When I did that, he acted like my character had led him on - saying the way she treated him in camp was more akin to how someone treats a lover, not a guest. Meanwhile, I'm listening to his exchange and ready to click the 'Get the Hell out of my camp!' if it popped up; because I'm not having any of that entitled crap in my camp - thank you very much!
@@madamefluffy4788 I was so surprised when he said that too. Like my Tav, as a fellow druid, treated him with respect and care, as she did with everyone. Never chose a romantic dialogue option, at least not willingly. And he is suddenly like her understanding and kindness was born out of her love for him lol.
@@pativi6643 I honestly hope it was a dialogue glitch (like it was in early access - where even a polite/neutral reply was considered flirting); because, man - I liked Halsin up until that point. Him acting entitled to my Tav's affection left a sour taste in my mouth.
I myself am Poly but I truly love and admire Gale’s reaction. It’s realistic and well it’s perfect, he’s slightly defensive about it but he’s also been used to being with someone who everyone worships. He sets his boundaries and he respects himself. We love Gale❤️
Him being defensive makes so much sense for his character, he is constantly thinking he isn’t enough, that he will be tossed aside. That’s part of the reason he wants the crown, he doesn’t think he’s good enough for Tav as he is.
I like that the game in general lets the characters set up boundaries - with consequences should you step over the line. Be it Gale wanting to be exclusive, Halsin being respectful regardless of whether you reject him or not, Astarion not wanting to be intimate yet due to trauma or Karlach completely respecting Tav,s hould they not wish to have intercourse, despite her being awfully touch starved. The romances may not seem as fleshed out or "exciting" when compared to other RPGs, but I find them the most... I suppose "realistic" by comparison.
@ashleylaricci2023 I respect and am happy for healthy poly relationships. It just isn't something I can personally do. But, I've known a few poly people and they are usually pretty chill in a lot of aspects. Like, they just seem so unencumbered. Like, I envy the laid back approach. My anxiety wishes. 😂 Here's hoping you and your chosen partners and theirs all have joy and peace.
Yeah, I have complete respect for open/poly relationships, it's just not something I'm comfortable with myself. Gale and I are definitely of the same mind in that regard.
@@jf2801 aww that's a lovely comment 🥰 sorry I'm polyam myself and just wanted to say aww thanks. Also lol because as a person I'm very laid back but also I have panic disorder so xD whoops.
Muddled by structures and rules? Um does Halsin realize most animals have courting rituals? They dont just all go ham on each other? Birds especially, mammals dont get me started. Were all freaks but still picky by nature 😂
Yeah, Halsin is THAT hippie. Hippie: We should be like the birds! They aren’t worried, they sing for the pure joy of singing! Birds: My nest! My nest! Go away! My nest! My nest! Go away! Birds: Mine! Shove off! Mine! Shove off! Birds: I am so horny! Check me out! I am so horny! Check me out! Birds: [silent because they’re being eaten by cats]
the fact that their tents are RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. Gale heard everything as still answered with "what like a child?" though I wish there was an option for the bread comment of "damn it gale, I'm a whole ass snack!"
What is Gale going on about. We all know Tav and him are going to have tons of children. And while they'll try to have some intimacy this army of children will jump on their back, meowing to get some attention.
@@blobertasbleach4545 They didn't even say anything disparaging or dismissive about non-monogamy, so cut the indignant smartassery please. 🙄Monogamy is the most commonly preferred relationship model, which is why they said Gale's reaction was the most realistic.

Man I wish he saw himself as father material, I would love Gale as a father ngl, but also if I’m gonna marry him he’s gonna have to wanna be a father 😭
@@Chiaeryn I know! That is definitely the life I wanna see with Gale after this game, I so wish they would give you a little play out with your campaign after the game is over you know so you could see your life with them
@@Chiaeryn yessss that would be amazing, I so wanna see myself with little gales running around or little astarions after we find a way to like turn astarion normal is something
I have to wonder how many people reject Halsin when he propositioned them (as in, they don't beat around the bush; they say it plainly. 'I'm not interested'). I had no problem turning him down, as my character was heavily involved with Gale and had no eyes for anyone else other than the wizard. Halsin seemed pretty bothered by the refusal - even so much as stating he mistook my character's kindness and hospitality in the camp as how someone would treat a lover, not a guest (like, excuse me, sir?!) Literally acting like she had been leading him on. I was honestly ready to give a 'Get the Hell out of my camp!' answer if the option was there to choose if Halsin didn't respect my character's decision to keep things platonic. I did have her run off to Gale after the exchange and - not sure if this was just timing or scripted - but Gale seemed to know something was up because his immediate response was to ask if she needed help/was she okay (which I think is a really nice touch - as it implies he saw she was panicked and was concerned for her).
Awww! 🥺 That's so sweet! I hope I get that when I turn Halsin down (more than likely, I *will* have to). I plan on my Tav being in a monogamous relationship also. And as her first romance option was Gale, with his Mystra-head-bust...
one light pet peeve i have with halsin is that he says its as nature intended but my dear elven bear man, wHAT ABOUT PENGUINS??? THEY HAVE ONE SOULMATE!!!! PLEASE!! JUST LET ME HAVE YOU!!! LIKE A PENGUIN!!!
He actually has a line about this. It's like "the wolf mates for life but the bear does as it pleases". Basically him saying he doesn't think monogamy is unnatural, just that it doesn't fit his nature.
@@Kfroguar thank you, I love that for him. I accidentally killed halsin in my first playthrough so I never got to hear his lines 😭😭😭 hopefully once he joins my camp as a companion again (not just standing there) I'll get to know more of him
Yeah, that’s what I like about the whole game. Also the characters have their convictions and beliefs. If you want to date Gale, consider one thing. That man is 100% monogamous. He works best if you actually romance no one but him :D
Yeah I romanced Astarion and Gale in my third playthrough (first Durge). I got the mirror image scene in act 2 for Gale before I got confession scene for Astarion. So I did the scene with Gale and Astarion got salty. I picked Astarion as that was my intention the entire time but when you speak to Gale afterwards, he super scolds you for it lol
@@mayacarraway8953 Yeah, i guess that is Astarion's way of jealousy. I didn't have that problem yet ever, but i watched videos that show Astarion getting a bit creepy when jealous.^^ Gale though, he is open and tells you he doesn't like it. The scolding is his own funny way to express he's actually hurt. That is the point when you have to make a descision as you said already But by now i romanced each of the male options in different play throughs. I decided, Gale is still my favorite, so i will happily spurn everyone else for his sake, again :D
@@mayacarraway8953My Durge romanced Shadowheart and humoured Gale by doing magic with him since he as a Selûnite (Cleric 2) and a Wizard (the rest of his levels). I rushed act 2 to lock in romance with Shadowheart before Gale's scene
Aw man, i feel bad for Gale. You can tell hes going to be anxious and over thinking this. Hes going to be asking himself "am i not enough". The fact that he wanted to never talk about it again too. Poor gale.
2:26 had me in stitches for some reason... The others aren't even thinking of starting a family, they're living in the here and now. Gale, on the other hand has thought about it, otherwise he wouldn't have said, "what, like a child?" He probably would have assumed another pet or something. If a guy straight up states 'he doesn't want kids' or if he never mentions kids, that basically means it's a done deal in his mind. No kids. But, if a guy assumes the partner is talking about kids, even if she's not, and starts voicing his concerns, oh he's thought about it, and he's committed to the possibility of future kids. He just doesn't know it quite yet. My grandpa straight told my grandma, back in the early 50s, *no kids* so she went the sneaky and underhanded route. They ended up having 4 kids, with my mom being the second. But in all honesty, I wouldn't be able to do that to Gale, even if I wanted to see the bear scene with my character. Both of us are more alike than I thought. I do, however, know what it's like to have a cheating spouse...not fun, or endearing.
How on earth does this make Gale "not father material"??? He was right! THAT life they're living right then and there is NOT meant for a child xD There's a big difference between not wanting a child and not being father material xD
@arainboltgreene Here's the thing; people can say whether they think they themselves would be a good or a bad parent. But their opinion doesn't make it a fact. Have you never met someone who's a terrible parent, but they're convinced they're great? Opposite can happen too. Gale might not think he's father material, but he could be a good parent. We don't know for sure 🤷♀️
gale just not prepare to become father, like almost people, but he wil study and do it better later a classic type guy, hard to see people like that in modern day (even in games )😅
Do any of the other companions react as negatively to the idea of polyamory as Gale? It makes sense for his character to be deeply hurt by any indication that he's being set aside or isn't the most special to you, but I'm curious if anyone else turns it down quite so strongly.
Shadowheart is fine with it in a sort of physical sense? She doesn't want to share you emotionally and wants the first time to be just the two of you but outside of that she doesn't seem to care about the physical stuff. She's not ok with playing second fiddle though, so if you're coming onto her when you're already with someone I think she declines.
For me I romanced Shadowheart, and I got a bit closer to Karlach since I felt bad for her not being able to touch anybody for so long (I made sure to not go too far because I didn't want to hurt her feelings) in the end I had to choose between her and Shadowheart, because Shadowheart said that Karlach deserved someone for her alone...and in the end I broke Karlach's heart. I felt so terrible afterwards
I don't romance Wyll but I'm 10000% sure Wyll hates the idea too. Even Gale agrees to the foursome with the drow twins, Wyll refuses and says "No, no, I want romance, not DEBAUCHERY". Additionally, he refuses to have sex in any of his romance scenes because he believes in marriage before sex. And he breaks up with you if you have sex with Mizora. He's a very traditional guy.
Well I can understand Gale's reaction I mean he only loves you but you want an open relationship at least he did something truly realistic a slap on face for many players who wanted to build a harem 😂
Gale is my favorite. He and my Tav had a very happy life together and he was very accepting of my choice to become a mind flayer. We got married and lived happily ever after. Any other play throughs will be difficult to avoid romancing him.
I just can't get over the fact Halsin makes sure the other party has concent for this! That's probably a normal thing in poly relationships, but still nice to see.😊
Gale saying this by his current situation imagine being infected and ready to blow up?? If he wasnt thinking child he wouldnt think about it first place lmao
dude you need to chill, just because people don't want to be in a relationship with you doesn't mean the "romantics are dying" lol it's just nobody likes you yet
@@z0is0iBro istg the mofos who whine about "romantics being a dYinG brEEd" are the most pretentious and self-absorbed people I've ever met. Polyamory isn't for me, and that's ok. I personally don't like peanut butter, but I'm not gonna tell people they can't or shouldn't eat it, or that peanut butter is disgusting and gross and/or smth to be ashamed of. Some busybodies really just can't let people live.
Honestly, with Gale marrying my Tav at the end of my first game, I'm pretty sure they'd go on tonhave kids. But besides the fact that they were trying to save the world, they just started a relationship, and had the potential to die if it went bad. Not wanting a baby during that time would be more than understandable, but he'd be a great dad.
Companions I want to romance: NO Companions I do nothing at all to provoke any love interest: LET ME SHOW YOU A MAGIC TRICK WITH MY... WELL YOU WILL SEE!
Did a double-take when I saw your Tav’s name was “Chiaeryn” because it’s so similar to my Tav, Chiari… who is also a tiefling, and also has that exact same hairstyle 😂
Halsin just doesn't have the charm the other characters in this game have, people think Wyll is boring, but Wyll is much much more interesting than Halsin imo, he just makes me snore.
I think the same, Halsin is the least interesting. Dude isn't even part of the tadpole crew, plus you know you'd never be special to him, no matter how sweet he might act towards you.
I agree but also that's why I love Halsin. Halsin's boring the same way mac n cheese is boring, like, he's a stable comfort food kind of boring. Wyll's more like mac n cheese with pineapple and kimchi - not so boring, but not in a good way, and he's hella pretentious about it. Which isn't to yuck anyone's yum, I love that the game has someone for everyone, I just don't think boring is always a bad thing, you know?
Ngl I LOVE THAT HE DOESN'T SEE HIMSELF AS A FATHER. I am never going to have a child myself and seeing him with a similar approach to that matter only makes me love him more. What a perfect man.
"You're not a loaf of bread to be divvied up at suppertime! I thought what we had meant something to you." I adore Gale, I really do. But for perhaps the first time, I was actually pissed with him right there. That insinuation was downright corrosive. I would like an option to tell him that I absolutely respect his wish to stay monogamous, there are significantly less judgmental ways to express it. Poly relationships are not less meaningful than monogamous ones. Don't accuse Tav or Halsin of trying to cheapen things, Gale. They deserve better than that.
Another reason I'd pick Astarion over Gale any day, at least Azzy is down for some kids (and he's practically already Minsc's dad, so he's got some practice as well).🤣
@@michasokoowski6651 in my game i tried to not convince them into stuff the game gives you the option to respect their autonomy which i loved and surprised me a lot for example shadowheart with nightsong, i didn't interfere and she surprised me

All other romance options: Oh you mean Halsin?

"Me and everyone around. Litteraly"

He definetely is father material, I can see him teaching magic to his kids and build things like little ships, he definetely has nerd dad vibes
@@Chiaeryn I know! That is definitely the life I wanna see with Gale after this game, I so wish they would give you a little play out with your campaign after the game is over you know so you could see your life with them
@@willow6549 oh god, I wish we could get something like that in a dlc maybe😖 I joined the Dekarios clan and I want to see myself in it!
@@Chiaeryn yessss that would be amazing, I so wanna see myself with little gales running around or little astarions after we find a way to like turn astarion normal is something
@@willow6549 THE DREAM!!!
I have to wonder how many people reject Halsin when he propositioned them (as in, they don't beat around the bush; they say it plainly. 'I'm not interested'). I had no problem turning him down, as my character was heavily involved with Gale and had no eyes for anyone else other than the wizard. Halsin seemed pretty bothered by the refusal - even so much as stating he mistook my character's kindness and hospitality in the camp as how someone would treat a lover, not a guest (like, excuse me, sir?!) Literally acting like she had been leading him on.
I was honestly ready to give a 'Get the Hell out of my camp!' answer if the option was there to choose if Halsin didn't respect my character's decision to keep things platonic. I did have her run off to Gale after the exchange and - not sure if this was just timing or scripted - but Gale seemed to know something was up because his immediate response was to ask if she needed help/was she okay (which I think is a really nice touch - as it implies he saw she was panicked and was concerned for her).
Awww! 🥺
That's so sweet! I hope I get that when I turn Halsin down (more than likely, I *will* have to). I plan on my Tav being in a monogamous relationship also. And as her first romance option was Gale, with his Mystra-head-bust...
@@guitarmama06 It was a random response from Gale in that moment - but it was such a nice though. XD
one light pet peeve i have with halsin is that he says its as nature intended but my dear elven bear man, wHAT ABOUT PENGUINS??? THEY HAVE ONE SOULMATE!!!! PLEASE!! JUST LET ME HAVE YOU!!! LIKE A PENGUIN!!!
He actually has a line about this. It's like "the wolf mates for life but the bear does as it pleases". Basically him saying he doesn't think monogamy is unnatural, just that it doesn't fit his nature.
@@Kfroguar thank you, I love that for him. I accidentally killed halsin in my first playthrough so I never got to hear his lines 😭😭😭 hopefully once he joins my camp as a companion again (not just standing there) I'll get to know more of him
the way he immediately jumps to child says he's been thinking about it though 👀
Now im also imagining the salty looks Gale might be throwing at Halsin feeling like he tried to sweep away his babe.
Your laughing was making me laugh, it was like watching a friend play haha
LMAO I didn't know I had my mic on!
Gale was not having it.
2:54 Halsin the Poly King patiently waiting RIGHT THERE is just too funny 😆😆 soo cute!
I mean Im not into Gale so much but this made him some good points
Yeah, that’s what I like about the whole game. Also the characters have their convictions and beliefs.
If you want to date Gale, consider one thing. That man is 100% monogamous. He works best if you actually romance no one but him :D
Yeah I romanced Astarion and Gale in my third playthrough (first Durge). I got the mirror image scene in act 2 for Gale before I got confession scene for Astarion. So I did the scene with Gale and Astarion got salty. I picked Astarion as that was my intention the entire time but when you speak to Gale afterwards, he super scolds you for it lol
@@mayacarraway8953 Yeah, i guess that is Astarion's way of jealousy. I didn't have that problem yet ever, but i watched videos that show Astarion getting a bit creepy when jealous.^^
Gale though, he is open and tells you he doesn't like it. The scolding is his own funny way to express he's actually hurt. That is the point when you have to make a descision as you said already
But by now i romanced each of the male options in different play throughs. I decided, Gale is still my favorite, so i will happily spurn everyone else for his sake, again :D
@@mayacarraway8953My Durge romanced Shadowheart and humoured Gale by doing magic with him since he as a Selûnite (Cleric 2) and a Wizard (the rest of his levels). I rushed act 2 to lock in romance with Shadowheart before Gale's scene
Aw man, i feel bad for Gale. You can tell hes going to be anxious and over thinking this. Hes going to be asking himself "am i not enough". The fact that he wanted to never talk about it again too. Poor gale.
2:26 had me in stitches for some reason...
The others aren't even thinking of starting a family, they're living in the here and now. Gale, on the other hand has thought about it, otherwise he wouldn't have said, "what, like a child?" He probably would have assumed another pet or something.
If a guy straight up states 'he doesn't want kids' or if he never mentions kids, that basically means it's a done deal in his mind. No kids.
But, if a guy assumes the partner is talking about kids, even if she's not, and starts voicing his concerns, oh he's thought about it, and he's committed to the possibility of future kids. He just doesn't know it quite yet.
My grandpa straight told my grandma, back in the early 50s, *no kids* so she went the sneaky and underhanded route. They ended up having 4 kids, with my mom being the second.
But in all honesty, I wouldn't be able to do that to Gale, even if I wanted to see the bear scene with my character. Both of us are more alike than I thought. I do, however, know what it's like to have a cheating spouse...not fun, or endearing.
God i love gale. He's such a loveable dork.
What a pure man, thinking another person must be surely a child 😂
God damn, gale looks good here
I'm sorry but, his reaction just makes me want dialogue with Astarion or Wyll telling Tav that they better not be pregnant. XD
Halsin is such a dream boat omg
How on earth does this make Gale "not father material"??? He was right! THAT life they're living right then and there is NOT meant for a child xD There's a big difference between not wanting a child and not being father material xD
He literally said he is not father material. The lifestyle is just another factor.
@arainboltgreene Here's the thing; people can say whether they think they themselves would be a good or a bad parent. But their opinion doesn't make it a fact. Have you never met someone who's a terrible parent, but they're convinced they're great? Opposite can happen too. Gale might not think he's father material, but he could be a good parent. We don't know for sure 🤷♀️
gale just not prepare to become father, like almost people, but he wil study and do it better later
a classic type guy, hard to see people like that in modern day (even in games )😅
that's what I'm talking about!!! that's why he's the GOAT!!!
I knew I liked Gale for a reason. No kids AND no sharing?? He's the dream guy 😂
Do any of the other companions react as negatively to the idea of polyamory as Gale? It makes sense for his character to be deeply hurt by any indication that he's being set aside or isn't the most special to you, but I'm curious if anyone else turns it down quite so strongly.
Shadowheart is fine with it in a sort of physical sense? She doesn't want to share you emotionally and wants the first time to be just the two of you but outside of that she doesn't seem to care about the physical stuff. She's not ok with playing second fiddle though, so if you're coming onto her when you're already with someone I think she declines.
For me I romanced Shadowheart, and I got a bit closer to Karlach since I felt bad for her not being able to touch anybody for so long (I made sure to not go too far because I didn't want to hurt her feelings) in the end I had to choose between her and Shadowheart, because Shadowheart said that Karlach deserved someone for her alone...and in the end I broke Karlach's heart. I felt so terrible afterwards
didn't try it but i just know Wyll won't like the idea
I don't romance Wyll but I'm 10000% sure Wyll hates the idea too. Even Gale agrees to the foursome with the drow twins, Wyll refuses and says "No, no, I want romance, not DEBAUCHERY". Additionally, he refuses to have sex in any of his romance scenes because he believes in marriage before sex. And he breaks up with you if you have sex with Mizora. He's a very traditional guy.
@@leaxl08 Well now. My respect for Wyll just went up even more.
Well I can understand Gale's reaction I mean he only loves you but you want an open relationship at least he did something truly realistic a slap on face for many players who wanted to build a harem 😂
He does NOT want to share !!!! 😂❤❤
Yes, clothes are the true enemy.
Gale is my favorite. He and my Tav had a very happy life together and he was very accepting of my choice to become a mind flayer. We got married and lived happily ever after. Any other play throughs will be difficult to avoid romancing him.
I just can't get over the fact Halsin makes sure the other party has concent for this! That's probably a normal thing in poly relationships, but still nice to see.😊
Romancing Gale during co-op means watching the bear scene with friends and then hitting the old reload option. XD
Not father material, only daddy material
BEST COMMENT SO FAR
Gale saying this by his current situation imagine being infected and ready to blow up?? If he wasnt thinking child he wouldnt think about it first place lmao
Bless you Gale and Wyll for representing us true romantics of the world. Feels like we're a dying breed sometimes.
dude you need to chill, just because people don't want to be in a relationship with you doesn't mean the "romantics are dying" lol it's just nobody likes you yet
@@z0is0i Facts
@@z0is0iBro istg the mofos who whine about "romantics being a dYinG brEEd" are the most pretentious and self-absorbed people I've ever met. Polyamory isn't for me, and that's ok. I personally don't like peanut butter, but I'm not gonna tell people they can't or shouldn't eat it, or that peanut butter is disgusting and gross and/or smth to be ashamed of. Some busybodies really just can't let people live.
This just makes me like him MORE!
To me gale is 100% father material lol
Honestly, with Gale marrying my Tav at the end of my first game, I'm pretty sure they'd go on tonhave kids. But besides the fact that they were trying to save the world, they just started a relationship, and had the potential to die if it went bad.
Not wanting a baby during that time would be more than understandable, but he'd be a great dad.
Funny Gale talls about kids this way and then Halsin is dad he never had kids because of "nature" like bro you a volunteer here why the heck not 😂
WHERE DID YOU GET GALE'S DRIP
Gale and my Tav living their DINK dreams 😏
You know, I think I'll stick with being friends with Scratch and leave it at that.
who needs father material if you´re changing into a aquid in a few days ? 😁
Those tadpoles aren’t going to bring themselves up
Where did you find Gale's outfit? He looks amazing
Bought it in a shop in Wyrm's Crossing! If I recall correctly it's next to the Sharess' Caress
@@Chiaeryn thank you!
Good for Gale for standing up for himself
Companions I want to romance: NO
Companions I do nothing at all to provoke any love interest: LET ME SHOW YOU A MAGIC TRICK WITH MY... WELL YOU WILL SEE!
Did a double-take when I saw your Tav’s name was “Chiaeryn” because it’s so similar to my Tav, Chiari… who is also a tiefling, and also has that exact same hairstyle 😂
They're sisters!
Ahhahah😂😂😂 - not a child, its Halsin😂😂😂
Halsin just doesn't have the charm the other characters in this game have, people think Wyll is boring, but Wyll is much much more interesting than Halsin imo, he just makes me snore.
I think the same, Halsin is the least interesting. Dude isn't even part of the tadpole crew, plus you know you'd never be special to him, no matter how sweet he might act towards you.
I agree but also that's why I love Halsin. Halsin's boring the same way mac n cheese is boring, like, he's a stable comfort food kind of boring. Wyll's more like mac n cheese with pineapple and kimchi - not so boring, but not in a good way, and he's hella pretentious about it. Which isn't to yuck anyone's yum, I love that the game has someone for everyone, I just don't think boring is always a bad thing, you know?
Who cares if Gale is father material, that is immaterial
So my Tav is a druid and I had thought the comment about seducing a deep rothe was just because she can take wild shape lol
What outfit do you have on Gale omg 😮
i would never do that in canon LMAO i would turn down halsin immediately, but damn seeing his reaction is hillarious af
Gale aint no cuck
EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT, did you see the foursome with the twins? You might change your mind watching that scene with Gale
@@Chiaeryn two days later i walked into that, burst out laughing but yes. GALE IS A CUCK 😂😂😂
that scene is pure comedy I cried out of laughing@@satch5471 🤣🤣
@@Chiaeryn Hello! I am here on behalf of Gale of Waterdeep 😂
@@satch5471I thought you were joking, but I looked it up and no, you were not.
Gale is such a massive, painfully relatable dork.
I truly believe Gale would reconsider his statement when he meets Arabella.
If anyone has fics where Tav and Gale adopt Arabella please let me know.
...Now that makes me kinda wanna see that too lol
Ngl I LOVE THAT HE DOESN'T SEE HIMSELF AS A FATHER. I am never going to have a child myself and seeing him with a similar approach to that matter only makes me love him more. What a perfect man.
If any man act like Gale comment here I’m looking for you ❤
Not father material?? Gale I’ve already picked out all 10 of our children’s names wdym
100% me
Gale not being father material is one of the biggest turn ons about him lol
Since I can't have both I just have to play as Gale and romance Halsin. 😊
"You're not a loaf of bread to be divvied up at suppertime! I thought what we had meant something to you."
I adore Gale, I really do. But for perhaps the first time, I was actually pissed with him right there. That insinuation was downright corrosive. I would like an option to tell him that I absolutely respect his wish to stay monogamous, there are significantly less judgmental ways to express it. Poly relationships are not less meaningful than monogamous ones. Don't accuse Tav or Halsin of trying to cheapen things, Gale. They deserve better than that.
Halsin is SO HOT…😤AND RESPECTFUL 😭😭😭😭😭
Another reason I'd pick Astarion over Gale any day, at least Azzy is down for some kids (and he's practically already Minsc's dad, so he's got some practice as well).🤣
at first i really liked Gale but the more i learned about him the less i liked him ngl
So... Him wanting to be faithful to his partner makes you like him less.
That seems... Low.
@@bluntlyhonest6803 no, it's his hunger for power that i don't like
@@joaquinbaume1291 I think it really depends on your various choices, in my game he isn't power hungry
@@michasokoowski6651 in my game i tried to not convince them into stuff the game gives you the option to respect their autonomy which i loved and surprised me a lot for example shadowheart with nightsong, i didn't interfere and she surprised me
@@joaquinbaume1291 But if you were evil she won't surprise you. I also wonder if the flower from underdark for that is important.
Real talk, why anyone would choose Gail over Haslin is beyond me.
