You know Gale gets a lot of shit for being annoying, pushy, whatever but he's genuinely lovely. So much of his character is embracing his own power and helping build up the people around him, he's so wholesome.
I didn't like Gale much on my first run, which was when his romance was bugged and he'd be all over you no matter what. Even though I was aware he was bugged, that first impression was hard to erase from my mind. But I tried out intentionally romancing him recently, and his dialogue when you talk to him after spending the night with him literally made me cry. I don't think I will ever be able to _not_ pick Astarion at the end of the day, but getting to see that side of Gale was seriously worth it
The only bit that annoys me about him is, that his character arc feels very unresolved when he is your companion/ romantic partner. The origin version, by comparison, is so much more satisfying, both in regards to the orb situation as well as in the self-worth department - or at least it was for me. ^^
I really in love with how different Gale and Astarion sound in same situations Astarion: Haha lol my love you got stuck And Gale just: Let me help you 🥺
I went into BG3 with the intention of focusing on the adventure - and then they put this awkward bearded dork with a big vocabulary in front of me. Faerûn Dating Sim it is...
the 'hang in there dearest' makes my heart pitter patter. gale supportive and wants to give! he has SO much love to give and he wants to uplift you/support you. he believes in you so much. he isn't perfect but he just -- so much about 'what can i do you for you?' 'how can i help?' 'whatever you need' 'please take my hand'. and im like ahhhhh /weeps. mystra did not deserve him.
all of his whispered lines are just...😍 I went in wanting to romance Astarion or Wyll, ended up romancing Gale twice (and maximizing his approval the third playthrough)
Awwww, oh my good _gracious,_ he's so supportive! T_T Gale's seem so much more repetitive than Astarion's, though, and it makes me sad. They could easily have done more than they did. Which is a problem he tends to suffer from, at least in my playthrough. Either he doesn't open up to me for whatever reason, or he just genuinely doesn't have as much to say about much of anything in comparison. And every time he _does_ speak, I like him all over again, so I feel I'm missing out on what could otherwise be a favorite character.
One day all companions will get the same amount of content as Astarion. Or they probably will not, because Astarion is clearly in favor and will keep getting more while others are stuck in the dirt, lol
Astarion is my boy and I genuinely think he and Gale are very similar to one another... Astarion just has fangs and pointy ears. Gale has magic in the bedroom though!
Also, in those little phrases Astarion sounds either like he want to impale us on his fangs or like we're dying in his arms... Or did I imagine this? And Gale just 100% of the time no matter the circumstances sounds like he's about to burst into tears
Thank you so much for uploading these! There's so much dialogue in this game and I'm amazed at how much there is, and also how I've literally never heard any of this lmao. Stumbled on your Astarion video earlier and wow you're fast at uploading these! :D
Soo I discovered this video right as i entered Act 3 and REALLY want him to say the lines. I looked everywhere for a Scroll of Cure Wounds to teach him but apparently they were removed from the full release. I modded it in and had him learn it, but interestingly he would NOT say the romance lines with my Tav even though we're at max Approval and kiss regularly. He was just saying the neutral lines, mentioning Mystra and all that. So he HAS to learn Cure Wounds by level up to say these lines, I guess? He's level 11 rn so I'll see if I can get him to learn it at level 12.
even after like 80 hours of play in my 1st run, I still struggle with "not romancing Gale", like, I wanted to romance him at first, then I met Astarion and this b*tch took my heart away but, seeing how sometimes abusing he can be towards Tav, idk, it just made me wish that I might have preferred dating Gale (I don't care about him being pretentious since I know it's just a facade). . But hey, through thick and thin, so I will stay with Astarion, hoping that, well, that he starts being kinder with my Tav (because I'm kinda sick of being abused for like caring for him, even though I know that he became like that due to his past and all but bro, it's hard to recieve so much sh*t). So yah, it's in these moments that I'm like daydreaming about dating Gale but I just can't break up with Astarion, I know it would destroy him and I don't know if my Tav would be happy with Gale after all that's happened either ways. . So I shall date Gale in the next life (in my next playthrough lmao), but argh, it's gonna be in soooo long !!
I know the only way I'll be romancing any other character other than Gale is if I'm playing one of the origin characters (i.e. - if I want to romance Astarion or Halsin, I'll play Shadowheart. If I want to romance Wyll, I'll play Karlach). Playing my own character, though? Gale - 100%, every time.
I'm realizing the possibility that these lines might not actually be IN the game currently... I'm not sure. They're in the game files, pointed to in the code, but I haven't managed to get them to trigger in game either. Granted, I'm only able to test romanced-related lines with Astarion. Its finally dawned on me that yeah, NO ONE is saying cool things when healing or buffing, only when helping up someone prone or downed. In all honestly I might have lightly (?) flubbed up 😅 Jumped the gun by adding these before thoroughly investigating... Sorry about that.
@@loganroberts9608 nah Gales not broken - well, not any more broken than anyone else in the game lol (As in no one seems to play the romantic flavored lines besides Tav.) I just tested with Gale by giving him a bard level, apparently the trick is that the spell needs to be a melee range heal/buff spell, and he needs to be standing far enough away to have to run over to say a line. Just posted a short demonstrating how it works.
Gale: "Go on, excel"
Me: *starts making a spreadsheet*
Gale approves
You know Gale gets a lot of shit for being annoying, pushy, whatever but he's genuinely lovely. So much of his character is embracing his own power and helping build up the people around him, he's so wholesome.
Ikr. My favorite romance tbh
He is wonderful. Astarion was my first but now everytime it's Gale. After Act 1, his personality really shines. I love it.
I didn't like Gale much on my first run, which was when his romance was bugged and he'd be all over you no matter what.

I love memeing on Gale but you are so right, he’s a sweetheart
I really in love with how different Gale and Astarion sound in same situations
Astarion: Haha lol my love you got stuck
And Gale just: Let me help you 🥺
"make me proud"
"your knight in magic armor"
"My life for yours"
"I won't fail you."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 💗💗😭
You forgot, "Hang in there, dearest." 💘
@@Okksimp aaaa 😭💞
omg me too 😭💞
KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR THATS JUST CUTEEEEEE
gale whispering has me feeling a normal and regular way
yes i absolutely don't have these whisper lines on repeat
I wish my headphones weren’t so high-quality. This 30-year-old man is trying not to blush in the middle of this burger king. Thanks Tim.
obsessed with the fact that you watched this in a burger king
"let me take away the pain" gets a whole different meaning considering the piece that plays during his romance scene is called "Wash my pain away" 🥺
I went into BG3 with the intention of focusing on the adventure - and then they put this awkward bearded dork with a big vocabulary in front of me. Faerûn Dating Sim it is...
"Go on, excell" and im done for. give me a man who wants me to shine and is not afraid of it
his mom raised him well HE IS THE GENTLEMAN OF ALL GENTLEMEN
"Hang in there,dearest" 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I am a puddle on the floor
"Your knight in magic armor" 😂 so cute Gale 😊
He's so caring and lovely... I'm crying
Your knight in magic armor. DAMN I love that line
the 'hang in there dearest' makes my heart pitter patter. gale supportive and wants to give! he has SO much love to give and he wants to uplift you/support you. he believes in you so much. he isn't perfect but he just -- so much about 'what can i do you for you?'

"your knight in magic armor" That phrase is very well thought out, it makes me laugh a little, but it also makes a lot of sense.
Awwww, oh my good _gracious,_ he's so supportive! T_T

tbh one of my biggest problems w the game is that a loooot of character content is locked behind the romances
One day all companions will get the same amount of content as Astarion. Or they probably will not, because Astarion is clearly in favor and will keep getting more while others are stuck in the dirt, lol
how did i miss this?????? i was always the one buffing and healing this squishy wizard
OMFG I am simp for Gale since release, but HIS SNEAKING ASMR HERE I AM CRYING 😭😭😭
I am down bad
I would die for him
Let's just hope it's not the same for him...
How can I be normal about him, he's just- !!!! 😭😭😭
This was an unexpected pleasant ASMR, the whispering lines made my heart race so fast wtf
To think I didn't hear most of those because usually my paladin was the one to help him out. Thank you for this
“make me proud”
GAAAAAAAAWWAAUGHHHHHHJ
I’m blushing so much, I never even noticed these lines
gale dekarios, the man you are 🥲
I keep coming back to this, I love it.
Astarion is my boy and I genuinely think he and Gale are very similar to one another...
Astarion just has fangs and pointy ears.
Gale has magic in the bedroom though!
Also, in those little phrases Astarion sounds either like he want to impale us on his fangs or like we're dying in his arms... Or did I imagine this?
And Gale just 100% of the time no matter the circumstances sounds like he's about to burst into tears
he's so supportive staaaaaap-
As much as he gets made fun of, I'm sure his romance is very, well, romantic 😂 listening to this at least
Pretty sure my heart rate is about double what it was 3 mins and 57 seconds ago........
Thank you so much for uploading these! There's so much dialogue in this game and I'm amazed at how much there is, and also how I've literally never heard any of this lmao. Stumbled on your Astarion video earlier and wow you're fast at uploading these! :D
Same same
Romanced him in my first run and didn’t hear it, maybe I didn’t use the Help action enough
"Your knight in magic armor" - I did no know I needed cleric Gale until now😳
Make me proud is so freaking cute
Listening to this when calming down before going to sleep t.t
Gale breathes 1 milisecond
Me as a barbarian simp: arf arf wooof woof woaaaaaaa dudududududu
I am an Astarion simp/juice box but this is so sweet. 🥰

Thanks for taking your time making this 😍😍😍🌟 i luvvvvvv it
Kicking my legs rn
Gale is king
I get why people with a teacher fetish love him
I can never play this game without Gale omg I love him so much
this is healing and relaxing but I also feel like I’m being hypnotized and I don’t know if it’s in a good way
Thank you for uploading it, I have missed a lot of these dialogues 😢💔
Do the speak to lines trigger when you speak normally to him?
Your knight in magic armor.

guess i have to respec my romanced Gale AGAIN to be my personal support animal
IM SO NORMAL
How do you get these to trigger, gale is usually silent or says the spells he uses to help

Are these broken lines on console? I don’t think I’ve ever heard a single one in my three Gale romances
Shadowheart next plzzz
It is done.
AAAGGHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Same
1:18 1:21 1:23 3:26
I feel like I need to hear "Go on. Excel" every morning from here on because the burst of motivation I felt at midnight was ridiculous.
Gale: "Go on, excel"
Me: *starts making a spreadsheet*
