Is Gale Stupid?
Posted On: July 2, 2024

Spoilers for illithid ending with romanced Gale below.


Ok, I know (well, I've heard) that the tentacle 'experience' is pretty good. And they're newlyweds. So I get that Tav and Gale have been. distracted.


But have they never, not once in six months, talked about what they'd do if Tav gets a craving? .


Maybe a prepared spell? A spare brain in a bag? Tentaclecuffs?


TLDR - my Tav tried to eat Gale's brain (apparently taking him completely by surprise) and got thrown out of the reunion party.


I'd reloaded from her trying to eat Minthara's because I wanted to see se the rest of the party. I really thought she'd be safe talking to Gale.


Question from user ShiteyLittleElephant at BaldursGate3 at reddit.com.


Answer:

This is just a writing issue, not a Gale issue. Though he would probably be overly trusting so maybe it is that he is stupid in love. I still fucking hate that any of the companions would be like yeah I’m into you if you turn into a soulless squid because it is stupid. Oh but you’re a special squid! You would never hurt anyone! Such bullshit.
