We have the rude Gith, the emo elf, and the fiery Tiefling, but Gale is undoubtedly the nice guy amongst our Baldur’s Gate 3 companions. Sure, he occasionally needs to eat magical underwear and could cause a nuclear explosion upon his death, but those are hardly red flags. His lovable and polite nature is primarily what he’s known for. Plus, he has a cat.
However, there are a few moments where even Gale gets a bit hot-headed. There’s a dialogue where Gale goes off on a rant that seems completely out of character. Most players may not ever see it though, as this dialogue is hidden behind a very specific set of events. It’s a different side of the wizard, which adds a bit more depth to his character.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Discover Rare Gale Rant In Act 1
As explained in a post by ContentPeanut303 on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, act one features a scene with Gale where he’s absolutely pissed off. This is pretty rare for the otherwise calm and jovial wizard. It occurs when you go to visit Nettie at the Emerald Grove, when she tells you to go find Halsin. However, she also offers you a poison for the Mind Flayer Parasite in your brain, which she makes you promise to take if you start turning.
This sequence will only show up if it’s Tav and Gale. The wizard must be the first to go into Nettie’s room, followed by Tav. During the conversation, you’ll have to choose the “You’re asking a lot of questions” option. Once you exit, Gale will have an exclamation mark above him to signal that he has something to say.
“I can’t believe she poisoned you, tried to put you down like a dying dog without as much as a whisper of consent!” he yells, when you interact with him. It isn’t normal for Gale to react like this, but I suppose there’s no correct way to react when you find out that someone secretly tried to poison you.
Later in the conversation, he also reveals that if he was the one who was poisoned, his Netherese Orb would have been activated, taking the entire Grove and half of act one’s area with him. Perhaps it’s not too out of character, as he’s still worried about what his death would mean for others.
